Does Porn Help Get You in the Mood?

Contributor: Pandahb Pandahb
Someone recently sent me an article by Foxnews.com called Panda Porn and How It Can Spice Up Your Sex Life and it basically went on to say that porn is good for the every day person's sex life. Now being on a sex toy forum, I imagine that there are a lot of sexually active people here, so I was just wondering if porn is a main factor to this or are there other causes? And what are they?

Ha, I was posting links to the Panda Porn video form Hulu last night.

In our house we both enjoy porn, but almost never when we are together.

I wish there was a middle option between yes, sometimes I watch it and no, not at all. I sometimes watch porn [I lean more towards written porn than actual porn] but I don't really think it enhances my sex life at all. I'm just a horny bitch who uses porn to get off when my man isn't around. I don't really watch porn often because I can't find porn that suits my tastes. However I do have an easier time finding the naughtier things in print. So I go with what is easiest.

However, I do believe that keeping myself active when I feel so inclined does help my sex life. So I guess I'm a weird mixture of answers perhaps?

We watch it a lot - even review quite a bit of it. We usually watch it together, and tend to like the same kinds.

@Yeti: That is funny!

@JonasBabydoll: Hehe, I like using written porn too. Sometimes it is more fun to picture it in your head rather have someone show you.

@Sammi: That is pretty cool that you found someone with the same porn tastes. I tend to be a bit more extreme than my partner so it can be interesting to watch his reactions to what I watch. Before I came here I worked with porn site forms which I thought was a lot of fun and one of the reasons I'm so happy there is a forum here.

@MzPr3tie.Kitti3: Maybe because they have giant boobs, tiny waists and are always super wet for that big giant cock.... Or maybe you have your own reasons

I watch porn a lot.... Well not at school since the internet sucks here and it takes double the time to load it. Though I will admit that I have been watching porn before I was supposed too... (shhhh)... and it is more of something to watch than to spice things up for me. I do like a lot of threesome porn and male gay porn.... But thats just me Panda

yeah but my wife doesn't like it much, so it doesn't usually happen before sex.

Maybe written smut, but not visual porn, no.

We like to share porn sometimes and say "Hey, check this out!!" and talk about what we like/don't like... it can get more like a film criticism at times haha

It doesn't ALWAYS help get me in the mood, but sometimes. We watch it together or alone.

I don't really get turned on by visual things so porn doesn't do much for me. I'd rather read something.

Yep, occasionally it is nice to watch it to help me get in the mood!

For some reason I can only really get into porn when I'm drunk. Otherwise, I just laugh because it's so ridiculous and funny.

I really enjoy porn both alone or with a partner, but have always preferred video over photos or erotica.

I don't like it. It's just... strange to me. And most of the time so absurd I have to laugh.
No, that can't turn me on... but perhaps I've just watched the wrong porn

Sometimes. I have to be already in the mood for it before hand though. Otherwise I just get bored by it.

While I have always loved porn, even when I was too young to really be watching it. I don't think that that is why I am a highly active sexual person though. My main factor seems to be hormones.

Not a porn person over here.

I am curious as to a porn phenomenon: on one hand people say "porn can give you ideas for things to do" and on the other hand "don't pay attention to porn, it's not realistic and doing what they do can get you in trouble, hurt or worse". Not completely contradictory, but very close.

Personally we have enough imagination to come up with things on our own. Relationally it doesn't seem like much porn would fit into how we view our sex life either, at least if synopses are any indication.

Porn gets me in the mood at most times. Sometimes, if I'm really in the mood, it'll give me an idea to try with my partner.

I hate porn that's got fake dialogue and accents. Those are usually the ones that just turn me off and make me laugh.

It doesn't get me in the mood really. Usually I'm in the mood and for fun we'll decide to watch some porn.

I lurv porn. It isn't the only or main factor, but it has its own special place in my and my partner's play.

Yes, bit just before/during masturbation - no time for it before coitus

I didn't vote because for a very, very long time I had absolutely no interest whatsoever. Now though, I would definitely be open to watching one and adding that to our list of newly discovered activities; but I'm picky, I sort of like a story, you know?

Porn is played like movies in our home. It's an interesting concept and one I had to get used to in the beginning. Our satellite service sucks right now, no interest in netflix and we've seen every movie we own a thousand times. You don't have to follow porn and when you're watching a compilation any time you look up you're guaranteed to see something hardcore.

It definitely depends on the porn but... when I find the stuff I do like, it definitely gets me in the mood.

is it sad to say written stuff turns me on more than actual porn? i mean, i love porn. boobs are awesome. nice, big cocks and all. but there's just something about written porn..

Porn kind of creeps me out. One the stars are ushally a turn off for my standerds 2 when they do try to act in them it gets akward for me. Just not as appealing as word play.

No its not sad. Word play is much sexier and more apealing to the imagination
