So…
I was watching a Jimmy Kimmel clip earlier this morning where he had someone randomly ask peopleon the street if they watched porn. The catch was that first he had the audience give their opinion, based upon the appearance of the individuals being interviewed, of whether they watch it or not before they provided their answer. If you want to check it out (it’s a little over three minutes), here you go (I got a few chuckles in myself):
My main reason for posting it, though, is that I want you to peep the couple and the woman’s response to what her significant other said. Apparently she was a bit taken off guard by his response and that got me to thinking.
When it comes to relationships, why is it that so many people find themselves involved (deeply emotionally invested) with people who watch porn? Is it because initially they assumed that the person they’re with didn’t? Is it because (if you’re married) it’s not discussed in (eh hem) premarital counseling? Is it because we are a lot like this Jimmy Kimmel skit and we *assume* that we can tell a porn watcher just by looking? Or perhaps is it becuase initially we don’t think it’s a big deal until “watching” turns into *addiction*? (How many casual crackheads do *you* know?)
Bottom line, “Are we really surprised when we find out someone that we’re in relationship with watches porn? Or is it that we’re just shocked that porn is not as ‘casual of an activity’ as we may have thought it was until it’s too late?”
Sound off…
