Boy we are disagreeing all over the place. No, we aren't disagreeing, you're just one of the silly people. Nyx

Oh, sure, but the article suggested that it was just the fact that he liked porn that made her go ballistic.           It's the popular attitude, isn't it? I've had boyfriends shocked that it doesn't bother me - even when we've been in poly relationships. Seems darned silly to me. Porn doesn't communicate disease, or ask for commitment/demand her or me , and seldom occupies enough of one's attention to become at least a financial burden. The popcorn level of commitment to a particular bit of porn doesn't indicate anything about the willingness to commit to a human being. Over all, I'd think it's about as much of a threat as an interest in following football. Certainly less of one than model railroading, for example, or (ghod help the poor partner) private flying licenses.

All I could think of was: five hours online? Pah! Shandy lightweight! Why didn't they sit his wife down in front of the computer, & show her that porn is not the antichrist, & won't wreck their marriage?          I could understand her being upset if he was hardly spending any time with her, and the internet porn seemed to be more important to him.                              Jennie And five hours a day is hardly a lightweight. If you subtract work, sleep, commute and general day to day maintenence(grooming, eating, washing dishes) five hours is about what a person has a day in leisure/project time, which, as Jennie indicates, leaves no time for the wife or even serious household chores. I think Lucy's forgetting this since she works mostly from home . . . which isn't to say that she doesn't *work*, but it's much easier to squeeze in online time doing *whatever* when you're not FT employed outside the home, with a commute . . . When I work from home, my laundry is caught up, my dishes are done, my living-room is relatively clean, AND my work is done, because I can do those other tasks during the breaks that I'd normally take at work to stare into space, or go to the _meta_phorical water cooler, or check alt.gothic, or whatever.  When you work outside the home, ALL of that is waiting for you and has to be done in the limited time left after getting home/making dinner/consuming dinner/spending some partner or family or alone time/falling into bed . . . So, yeah

Nah, it's not Evil and must be destroyed (tm) it's more like, It's silly and must be mocked. (tm) Like theatre troups who do Arsenic and Old Lace or Sweeny Todd. Nyx Boy we are disagreeing all over the place. Hatter whom would love to do a dinner theater production of Sweeny Todd while serving meat pies. Care for a spot of elderberry wine?
