Guys and Porn and blah... {Thinking Aloud -1}

The other day, my Aunt was telling me about one of her acquaintances. The married couple she lived few days with. I don't know whether I should write about it or not still..

Okay, so about that couple..they don't have child, the wife is somewhat fierce and tomboyish..not in attire but in attitude and talking..
My Aunt was telling me that the husband watches Yoga shows on TV all the day. I was like so what's wrong with that..(referring to my own Yoga practice everyday.. Yoga is cool and necessary..) She said "No.. Is it polite to watch half-naked women in home on TV...??". Now I got it..

I can not obviously say that it is wrong or right..because I am not a man or even a guy for that matter.. I am 20-something girl..and I think though it is impolite, it is natural.. Come on, all men are like this..

Now about some of my guy friends..in 1 of the friends had photos of complete nude women on his phone and I accidently went to that folder while seeing the photos of trips. I was shocked at that time. Later, my project partner..he had entire project we were doing on his laptop..and he was going out of station just a couple of days before the deadline.. So I asked whether I could keep his laptop with me so that I would be able to do some last minute finishing.. He hesitated first but then said, "Okay.. Keep this with you..but if you happen to see something that you are not supposed to, then don't blame me for that.." Hmmmmmmmmm...!! That was tough question indeed..

Even later, I was peeking when another friend was doing some work on his laptop. I asked whether he had iso image of a certain Linux distro.. He said, "let me search..". He took the cursor to the searchbox and started typing the name. Before doing that, a list appeared about previous searches he did in it as it was Windows 7. And viola, I saw "Bras, Pussies.." in that list.. I had became kinda wise after previous two experiences..but this was really WTF!! For many days after this, I could not talk properly with this guy!! Any time, his phone or text would remind of this incident..

I was feeling uneasy even when his name was mentioned.. It was weird.. I knew that boys watch porn..they download it..and blah.. But I didn't know that this would be case with 3 of my close friends.. Nevertheless..
Then I came across this. Though I don't have boyfriend, who watches porn, this is a good read for a girl's perspective. I don't really agree with the article still she has some good points. And here is guy's perspective on watching porn.

P. S.: I am not pro-porn..neither I watch porn myself. I have seen some blogs on porn and read some stories out of curiosity but that doesn't interest me. I am not against boys' watching porn but neither I am on the same page with them. I think of this as matter of personal choice and individuality. I don't want to link this to morality and ethics or even religion.

P. P. S. : I thought I need to say this. I am highly against boys who rape a girl because they watched/read some rape-fantasy and pedophiles too.

P. P. P. S.: What I mentioned in post-post-scrip, was related to some statistics I read in a book(forgot the name), a while back. It says that 84% rapists told to police that they raped the girl because they wanted to mimic what they read/saw in porn. The statistics is from USA so might not be applicable everywhere still it is dangerous..
