In last week's newsletter, we posted an article by Jen about her thoughts on adult movies (click here to read article). At the end of the article we asked readers like yourself to send us their own comments. Here are some of the emails we have received...

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, UNLESS THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE EXPECTS YOU TO LOOK AND BEHAVE LIKE THE WOMEN IN THOSE MOVIES. lET'S FACE IT, WHO HAS A MAKE-UP ARTISIT AT HOME AND THE PERFECT LIGHTING? THEY CAN BE INFORMITIVE, AND SOMETIMES TO SAY THE LEAST INTERESTING. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO ADMIT THE STORY LINES ARE USUALLY CORNY.

I don't think it's a problem for women to watch porn. I own a little collection of my own. When my boyfriend found out he called me a freak but don't you know it turned him on to know I liked watching porn movies. NOW WE WATCH THEM TOGETHER. It's a lot of fun and I agree with the girl writing the article you do learn a few things while watching them.Men love to hear us moan. Well now I know how to make my boyfriend moan. Don't be afraid or ashamed to watch porn. It's a natural part of life.

I have watched several "adult" movies. Generally I have found them entertaining but very stupid. The women in the few I have seen are all portrayed as sluts and bimbos. I wish I could find some that had a little more depth to them. The soft porn movies have better plots but have no explicate "action". I think it is perfectly acceptable for women to watch porn movies. Too bad someone doesn't make some directed more towards women. Right now they are all made for the men.

i think that watching porn is great. It gives me a chance to learn new things by watching what is being done than just reading about it. My partner and I love watching porn together. It gets us very aroused and seems to make the sex a lot better. I beleive the girls who say that porn grosses them out really dont enjoy sex. I love to experiment and so does my partner. We sit down every night and look up new things on the internet to watch together and there is nothing wrong with that. I believe it makes a relationship healthier.

I didn't loose my virginity until I was 26 and I had no idea what the heck I was doing, and being raised by a man who won't, to this day ,admit he ever had sex,let alone talk about it with his daughter,was no help.
Well,my boyfriend talked me into watching a porn movie with him about 2 months into our relationship and I have to admit it was a total laugh a minute. I was so embarassed but, eventually I sort-of got into it and we made great love that night. Now I occationally watch by myself and have, I think, learned how to give more to our lovemaking. I have definatly become more adventuresome and give a way better blowjob then I did in the beinging. So more power to the porn, I know it has certainly educated me.......

Since I am, after all, "too timid" I usually only watch porn on the pay-per-view in hotels. Even if the name of the movie does show up on my bill, I'm never going to see these people again!

When I do buy a porn movie, it's for the same reason men do, to get turned on. The educational side of it is a bonus. Unfortunately, there isn't much in these videos for men to learn. Doggy-style gets old after awhile, but it seems most of the movies end up that way so therefore, so do a lot of the guys I've been with. On the other hand, I've learned that the sounds and faces the "actresses" are making has also become part of my men's fantasies. When I do the same, they go absolutely wild. I don't have the best body in the world, but I've had several men tell me I'm the best sex they've ever had and I owe a lot of it to mimicking the noises and body english in the porns I've seen.
