Don't get me wrong - I used to say the same thing, back when I gave a sh*t about what people think of me and when I thought I was fooling anyone.
Men are incredibly easy to excite - a rudely shaped vegetable is often enough, let alone audio-visuals of people having sex.
Sure - we've been taught that such reactions to indirect sexual stimuli is shallow, immature and unbecoming of a gentleman, but just because we can supress those instincts - that doesn't mean we don't have them.
Sure - many people abstain from erotic entertainment, at least to a certain degree (since we apparently have to have a f***-scene in pretty much every movie directed at adults), but that's just adherence to cultural norms, which have been forced on us since childhood.
That's exactly what I was thinking as I read people's statements that porn doesn't excite them. Not just men, but women as well. When I was a Christian I used to say the same thing, but whenever I would see porn or sexual images, even unintentionally, I could not control the instinctual (and almost reflex) reactions my body and mind had, which was to be turned on.
I now gladly enjoy those instinctual reactions instead of feeling ashamed and in denial about them.
