5. Women like porn, too.
Mon Feb 4, 2013, 07:54 PM
Feb 2013

Otherwise 50 Shades of Grey wouldn't be selling near as many copies. That said, lots of porn is aimed pretty squarely at men, so women tend to not dig it as much. There is porn aimed at women, couples, or at least recognize that men sometimes watch it with women, so maybe try convincing him to get stuff that does something for the both of you, instead of just himself.
