> It is very easy to find sexual release with internet porn. More difficult with a real life woman. Very true... but I don't really see the problem. >And therein lies the collapse of western civilization. I suspect you are joking, but behind the joke, there's a very real, very disturbing attitude. It's a double-standard, really; in modern times, masturbation is largely seen as a positive thing, an empowering thing for women. But not so for men; the same act is somehow shameful for men. It's like there's this attitude that a man's sexuality, to be honorable, must impose it's will on others. It's an attitude that I think is both destructive to the men in question and to those we interact with. It's an attitude that should have gone away with the idea of ownership of other human beings.
