We recently covered a University of Montreal study that claimed its research team was unable to find a single adult male who had never seen porn. Dubious, we decided to put out a call for readers who have never watched a pornographic video, clip or DVD to email us. Happily -- for us, not the Canadian scientists -- our ploy netted two real-life porn virgins who agreed to be interviewed about how they managed to remain unacquainted with easily accessible adult-only material.
The willing victims are J.J. Eggers and Jarrett Skorup (who bravely furnished us with a picture). Both are college graduates in their early 20s, which is simultaneously surprising and obvious: Surprising because both men made it through four years of college education in America without stumbling across a roommate watching "Bang Bus"; obvious because they're young enough to have successfully avoided it ... so far.
Keep reading to learn why a man would go 20-something years without ever glimpsing Shannon Tweed's boobs on Cinemax.
The "how" is much more complicated than the "why," as it turns out: Skorup says he has a moral obligation to avoid watching porn because of his conservative Christian upbringing and college atmosphere. (He attended Grove City College in Pennsylvania.)
Eggers, on the other hand, just doesn't see the point of porn. "I never understood the reason why it was so popular," he says. "Watching people have sex was just not something that was a big deal to me. I'm not against it, I just never have sat down and watched one."
For Skorup, it's much more important to simply avoid ever seeing an adult film, something he wants to go to his grave without experiencing. "I'm engaged now," he adds. "So even though I'm out on my own for a few more months, I have that reason to hold off."
Skorup's fiancee (like Eggers' girlfriend) believes it when he says he's never seen pornography -- and she's thrilled about it. "She thinks it is harmful to women," Skorup explains. "We read a book about the topic in which pornography for men was compared to chick flicks for girls. The idea was that both give each gender unrealistic expectations for the person you end up married to or in a committed relationship with. I'm not sure I totally bought it, but it's an interesting theory."
Having said that, it's no surprise Skorup and Eggers both feel that avoiding porn probably makes them better in bed since they won't have any "pre-conceived ideas," as Skorup puts it. His partner in porn virginity adds that, for him, watching these films is as pointless as indulging in alcohol and tobacco: "If there's no good reason to do it, then why do it?"

Great, that means not all men are perverts who think the ideal woman needs DD fake boobs, tan leathery skin, bleach blonde hair, and has to do everything the man tells them to do in bed.

You seem to imply that most men are perverts that are into leathery blond subservient near-prostitutes. Well Miss or Mr., let me just tell you as a man, I dare say I am offended by the assumption. I work too hard to be a decent and well behaved human being to be dragged down by your misconceptions!
And for your information, porn seems like the only means a man has for sexual identification in a world where just asking someone out is deemed overtly sexual.
I bid you good day!

@Reichilu: if you needed _this_ to have that proven to you, I feel for you and would be very interested in the horrible selection of men and their quirks that you've experienced first-hand.

As an avid porn watcher i must disagree with you reichilu. Even though i do watch porn my interest of women is not of your misconception as amanwithfeelings has previously stated. I too am offended that you think all men like the fake women you have described. there are some men who do like DD blondes, i am not one of them. amanwithfeelings pretty much summed up the rest.
I bid you an excellent afternoon
