    I'm just saying that I've heard men say this but then get really jealous when the shoe is on the other foot.

    are you trying to ask men if they mind if women watch porn

    No. I'm asking how people feel about this quote. Are you totally okay with the you can look but don't touch thing. Because most people say they are but then get really jealous, especially men if we as women say for instance talk about another mans looks. But it's totally okay when they talk about other women.

    I prefer touch but don't look.

    To each their own I guess. Lol

    The old double standard. People are going to look. It's human nature. Nothing wrong with it.

    Exactly!

    Isn't this what you tell kids at the museum? I have never heard it in reference to relationships.

    I've heard many ( especially male ) friends say this who are in relationships throughout the years

    Just wanted honest input from men on how they really feel about their SO when it comes to this? If you notice them looking- jealous or no?!

    I think everyone can look but it has to be discreet. It's important to me to not date a cretin who makes women uncomfortable by leering at them. I'd hope he thinks the same of me. And if the looking is discreet then chances that the other person will notice are slim.

    Right on! There's a big difference in noticing than gawking. We've been out with friends when the gawking is quite noticeable and uncomfortable.

    Unfortunately, I've been told, that when I have too many adult beverages I tend to gawk a bit. Sorry ladies.

    Lol....

    Personally, if my DW wants to oogle at other men, I don't care. I'm not insecure and untrusting, so I don't feel any jealousy at all.

    Sounds like you have an issue with a specific person in your life? Maybe you should discuss it with him.
