The problems that some women find when their partner watches a lot of porn, is that they will be expected to perform in certain ways in the bedroom that they are not used to. In some cases, men may ask their girlfriend to perform sexual activities she might not be comfortable with because he's seen it in a porn movie. In addition, some women believe that pornography is degrading to women because they are portrayed purely as sex objects with only one function which is known to anger some feminists. However, porn can sometimes help in a relationship if partners watch it together. Some couples benefit from this as it helps improve their sex life.

I feel as though many of you do. It makes me insecure, resentful, and I no longer want anything to do with him sexually. He told me he'd stop, but porn watching is an addictive behavior and I’ve already found that he's been looking at it even after he said he wouldn’t. I’ve read some responses saying it was the woman's fault for not pleasing him or that she had no right to be upset, but I don’t feel that is true. I am sexual, I do what my partner asks me to do in bed, and I'm not out of shape or anything. I have a few flaws but who doesn’t? He himself is not flawless, but I don’t watch male porn. If your bf watches porn and he is in a relationship with you, IT IS NOT YOUR SHORTCOMING, IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARENT PRETTY ENOUGH, AND IT isn't YOUR FAULT. My mom told me my dad used to watch porn and mom was really beautiful at the time. It has nothing to do with the woman not being good enough. It has to do with the man being lustful and dirty. I don’t care if the bitch is just some STD bag 1000 miles away that would never actually date your bf. I don’t care if it’s "just looking" and not touching. It’s still wrong, especially when there is a real life partner being hurt by it. Though the whore-star is not a real PHYSICAL threat, it makes girls feel like they have to compete with some photo shopped, airbrushed image. It’s not fair, it is wrong, and today is the official end to my 4 year relationship. The engagement is off. Maybe he can call a sex-hotline whore to make him feel better... He’s not my problem anymore.
He is disrespecting you
If I had a gf or wife
I wouldn't be doing that
stuff
There are a few things you shouldn't have to put up with though: (1) Replacement. If he watches porn but refuses to have sex with you, or watches porn to get out of having sex with you, then you shouldn't have to put up with that. (2) Comparison. If he verbally compares you to porn actresses, makes comments about how you should lose weight, or alter your appearance to resemble a porn actress, you shouldn't have to put up with that. (3) Discomfort. If he insists on you performing in ways he saw in a porn movie that you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with, and refuses to hear you out on the issue, you shouldn't have to put up with it.
When the relationship starts to get serious, all couples should have a discussion about porn to learn and understand how each other feels about it. Don't be afraid to tell your guy how watching porn makes you feel - you might find that any insecurities you have (such as not being "pretty enough" compared to a porn actress) were only in your head! If porn really makes you uncomfortable, perhaps a compromise could be made, but don't tell him to never watch porn again - it would be like him asking you to never eat chocolate again. You might succeed at first, but after a while the temptation would build up, then one day you see a particularly delicious-looking piece of chocolate for sale, and then buy it, only for him to lecture you after he finds the wrappers.
I found out my husband did it and it broke my heart. He often even prefers it to me!!!! I don't understand that! And don't listen to people who tell you to "liven up your sex life" or try doing it together, because from experience I can tell you IT DOES NOT WORK. Its a really hard habit to lose and no matter what I tried doing it never worked. I feel a mixture of anger/sadness and disgust for my husband and it has really taken a toll on our sex life.
I did with my boyfriend. Found hundreds of pictures and Dvds, burned films etc. I got mad and he said he'd stop. 3 times he said and I still find it. I don't think he will change but by this point I am pregnant and stuck.
I don't enjoy sex anymore.
Just be careful on commitment.
it is also believed that it is a women's nature to be flirty......and when we do it were sluts
so why is it any different??
Thats right it is not if he wants to do that then you have the right to flirt!
At this point, I just try to forget that he watches porn, but every once in a while something reminds me and I go through this all over again.
you I agree I hate porn to...I never used to in fact I used to be just as addicted to it as my husband if not more so. The difference is is that I stopped when I got into a relationship.BTW it was not at all an easy task to quit. In fact it was more difficult than when I quit smoking. We are bombarded with it in stores, magazines tv, etc. But I also love my husband for who he is. When he promiaed to quit looking I trusted him....that was 2 years ago.
Now where are we? We have a baby but our relationship has taken a curve for the worse. I no longer hace any desire to have sex with him as almost evertime its like can you wear this for me and put your makeup on like this and do such and such...then I find out he has been looking at porn with women dressing just like that doing those things. It doesnt feel like he is even looking at me anymore just looking at those girls and dressing like that and wearing my makeup for him like that makes me feel like a slut and or a prostitute...not something you dream of feeling like when you are being intimate with your husband. He only tells me I'm sexy when I have my makeup a certain way and am wearing certain clothes but otherwise its like I don't exist. Then I find out that all those times when I wanted to have sex with him (when we got married I would have gladly have had sex with him 2-5 times a day) I find out that while he was saying no to me he was looking at or watching porn and jacking off while I was at work. Seriously? Now by this point he keeps wanting sex and I felt like A prostitute. Not somthing I was really wanting to feel like. I just don't feel beautiful anymore. He tells me he hates my singing voice which everyone else loves...I even sing to our baby only when he isn't around cause it bothers him so much.
Back to the bedroom its always about what will get him off what can he get me to wear or do for him this time. Doesn't matter to him if my body is ready for sex yet or not. He has gone ahead even when I'm still dry. I just feel dirty and worthless...and so far as beautiful I stopped feeling that a long time ago. I now have sex with him as my wifely duties but I feel so detached not into it at all anymore. No desire for my husband at all...I don't even like getting undressed in front of him anymore....I hate porn
If he watches it too often and you don't like it ..ask him whats up and tell him with a sarcastic attitude '' thats cool if you want to watch porn ill leave you to it '' if hes cares he will turn it off and if he doesnt well then you know that the porn is more important
A guy talking to you like that is no good! Saying things like "no wonder I don't want you, you wear hello kitty to bed" is NOT ok!
It may seem hard, but you need to get outta that relationship.
At the end of the day, you can do better
and your worth it.
It makes sense to be upset about it the first time the girl finds out, but after awhile, she needs to stop worrying. The chemistry of males will always be different from that of females so the opinions of any issue, like watching porn, will always be different! Women cannot just try to manipulate the man into being someone she wants him to be; it just doesn't work that way. Women need to get out of their fantasies, too.

Well, I'm 8 months pregnant, and I was going through my boyfriends phone and found he was browsing mobile porn. It really hit me hard. We've always had a strong relationship and he's always had desire for me even now while I'm 8 months pregnant. I asked him why he did it after refusing to talk to him the entire next day, and he said it's just something he does when he wants to masterbate, so that he can hold his longer to give me mine.
I think it's rubbish of course, I don't know, I feel like watching porn is a way of cheating. I don't watch porn, so why does he feel the need? Is there some brain cell men are missing that blinds them to how it makes us women feel? I don't want to control him, and constantly rag on him, but it really hurts, is he thinking about these nast bimbos while he's "making love to me." I can't stop thinking about it. Maybe it's my hormones. Good luck to the rest of you.
about the one he is with, not getting off over people on the internet and so forth.
I'm not sure how to feel.. At first I tried not 2 let it affect me, but I couldnt stand it. What is wrong with me? Why am I not good enough for him? I have a nice body, and a cute complexion... Why does he have to look and dirty, loose sluts who just degrade themselves... I wish I could cope with it.... And I wish that he would just be honest about it, so that we could work from there. How are we suppose 2 work on something that can never be recognized.
I can tell when he I lying.... So I believe he is... I wish that some guys could feel how their partners may feel about it. So I don't know what to tell you... I'd suggest leaving him, but then I would just be a hypocrite... Because I love him, and no matter how much it hurts, I can't bring myself to leave him...
I think its important to realize that for some people porn is an outlet and a tool used so the person with overwhelming sexual desire towards other female or males is squelched. Its ridiculous to say just because someone is looking watching buying porn that there a creep or there is something wrong with them.
Your telling me you have never thought about another person or wonder what it would be like if you had done this or that with another person? If not then your the .001% Exception, but if the case then its no different in the end.
So as far as my efforts go to solve the problem it seems to be only getting worse, and what gets me the most is that I actually get physical reactions from this.....any ideas what that could be? It's driving me really crazy :(
There are porn related behaviors that are unhealthy and disrespectful too. But the occasional viewing of porn that the majority of men do is ok, normal and certainly not immoral. I feel truly sorry for girls who feel threatened by porn. Men don't think of you as less worthy and unattractive when they watch porn; you do. They don't mean to offend you by doing it; YOU take offence. Because you have deeply rooted insecurity and a less then loving relationship in overall. That's why you feel extra threatened and can't tolerate porn. So yes, I'm afraid the problem is inside you. The worrisome part is that you consider your boyfriend responsible for your mental well-being - as opposed to yourself; that you want to change *him* to relieve the suffering coming from *your* insecurity problem, and the fact that you believe you are entitled to such demands. I'm afraid you will suffer a lot and never be able to be happy because you need and want from a man something that is just not very realistic, nor are you solving your insecurity issue in a constructive manner.
Hi I'm Roland Scott, but I also go by the name Mary.
I watch some light transgender porn behind my wifes back. She would KILL me if she found out. By the way, my name is neither Roland nor Mary. I'm not dumb enough to post a confession on a public forum, what do you take me for? Anyway yeah I think it's perfectly normal that a woman would get angry towards porn. They feel replaced and disrespected. If i'm honest though I just don't care. I just don't want to get caught
That's just stupid. Everyone watches porn even if they have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Specially because everyone has their special fantasies that sometimes the other half cant provide. But still, if you life happily with him, why are you complaining? Maybe if he watches porn, he will get hornier and be with you.
Get mad because you weren't open-minded enough to get crazy.
Wow, I followed Zack to this Question.
Of course you don't have to get mad, unless it is an obsession . . Then you can get concerned. Why not ask if you can watch some with him? . . .
Next thing you will be asking is if you should get mad because he still masterbates.
I found naked pictures of girls on my bfs computer and I started to cry!! First off the girls that he was looking at he told me he thought they were sluts and whores, so why does he look at them? I am an attractive girl and sometimes guys come up and grab my butt and of course I tell my bf and we talk about it and he gets mad that it happened,so ik he get jealous, so then should he understand how I feel about looking at porn? I mean he turns sex with me down but then he goes and wacks off to naked pics of Miley Cyrus!! Why can't he be there for me and understand how it makes me feel insecure about myself and how I please him!?!? I can't just tell him to stop looking at it because he will still do it even if he says hes not.
We havent had sex in so long but he can look at naked girls,I feel ugly and worthless to him, he doesnt tell me he loves me anymore and he doesnt kiss me or hold my hand anymore, I just want my boyfriend back, I am in love with him and can't let him go, what should I do? I am afraid to tell him that it upsets me because I don't want to lose him but I can't deal with the fact that there are other girls on his mind. My sex drive is really high and I would never turn him down for sex so why does he need porn? I really love him but don't want to see him or think about him looking at other girls the way he should be looking at me. What should I do?
Don't make a big deal out of it. I mean girls look at men without their shirts on too? Its the same thing. And also don't ask what other people think. If you don't like it tell him it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Put your men in their place. It is wrong.
and I understand everyone has the rite to be upset about their bf looking at porn.
Unless he gets obsessed with it and it what he want to do instead of being with you
I thought maybe I was being uptight or controlling. He made me feel that way. When he looks at that stuff, it makes me feel less confident because I try my best to turn him on and be creative and sexy in the bedroom. When I see that hes been looking at other women, it makes me feel like I am not good enough. I know I am beautiful, but obviously like any other woman I have my insecurities.
Like some of you, it makes me not want to have sex with him and lose respect for him. Its a dirty habit and one of my many views are that if you're look at it on the computer, what's stopping you from looking at it in person or get turned on by some random girl when I am not around. If the computer gets you hard... What would happen if it is a real woman? Scary, but I hope he never cheats on me. He loves me a lot, but men tend to think with their penis.
show him what you look like or act sexy and he will probable stop looking at porn
