    I was looking through the beauties on the eye candy page yesterday and heard my wifes footsteps and quickly clicked away, #is that guilt? #and am I lusting after them or coveting them? #or both?

    Perhaps not pornography in the literal sense but if your having to hide your guilt you may have some other issue going on.

    You need to take an interest in what her hobby is at least so you can catch her lusting after her objects of desire. As long as my wife wants horses my MAS (when affordable)is attainable.

    Depends on what you were doing.

    Are you used to having to quickly click away when your wife approaches?

    It is not porn because they ain't nothin' funny goin' on with the a-holes and f-holes. Nevertheless, don't act guilty -- women sense guilt, and it spells M-O-O-N. That spells trouble.

    Hey I have an idea (Scott if your listening):

    I would gladly purchase a mandolin cafe poster that looked like the eye candy page, each of the pages actually.

    I would feel like a college kid again, putting up St. Pauli Beer girl posters.

    Like porn, it's harmless unless you begin to obsess over it.

    I believe that porn is in fact harmful to women (directly and indirectly) and also to the relationships between men and women -- probably no point in getting into the full blown discussion of this here on this forum... but I'd say of gazing at mando pictures...

    UNlike porn, it's harmless unless you begin to obsess over it.

    If you find yourself adjusting (read: spend less time with.....)aspects of your life such as job, wife, kids, etc., in order to participate in your obsession, you have a problem. If these other aspects of your life are ok with the reduced attention, then the problem is not so bad.
