Internet Pornography, Harmless Fun?

[Al Swearengen]

Porn and real women satisfy different desires. One does not take the place of the other.

I think I understand Joe's point here. Ya see, there are just SOME things ya cant/dont/wont ask your wife or girlfriend to do...or maybe the guy just hasnt worked up the courage to ASK her to do those things...or maybe he just cant bring himself to ask her with a straight face...or maybe he already knows she WONT do IT, whatever IT is! So instead he can safely take his, uh, lets say somewhat unorthodox request(s), to this imaginary, completely uninhibited fantasy woman. THAT woman might even be his own wife/girlfriend...or not. Any man knows that wives and girlfriends say and do lots of things in our heads that they wont in our beds. Dealing with his fantasies in this way might sympathetically be viewed as a prophylactic (no pun intended) means of satisfying his desires without putting his marriage/relationship or anyone's health at risk.
