How do you feel about your S/O watching porn?

Crawkins

In a thread about sexual attraction last night, the topic of porn and porn addiction came up. It's made me very curious about how typical couples feel about it.

Some suggested you should constantly check the history of your s/o's phone and computer to make sure they aren't watching porn.

Others said watching it together is fun and healthy.

My opinion is that it's a generational thing. I think 20/30-something-year olds are way more open minded about porn because we grew up around it being everywhere, and in many cases started viewing it at much younger ages due to its accessibility.

So, tell me, how do you feel about it within your relationship. If you don't view it or want your s/o to watch it, what's your reasoning?
Does personal insecurity have an effect on people's opinions, or is it religious, moral, ect?

If you think it's a problem, don't date someone who does it. If you think it's ok but your S/O doesn't, find someone else.

I have no problem with my boyfriend watching porn. I watch porn. Who cares?

I would also never look through my boyfriends browser history, his e-mail account, his phone....That's messed up. I respect and trust my boyfriend enough to not invade his privacy like that.

people suggested this? are they in relationships or are they prison wardens? i wouldn't take advice from anyone who's basic philosophy is "Trust No One".

I think it's like anything else- as long as you're both ok with it, no problem. I do think porn can be healthy, but it isn't always. As for checking up on what your SO does on their phone/computer so you can catch them doing something they aren't supposed to do? That's a good sign your relationship is completely screwed up and you're probably both better off apart.

I have never been a big porn fan.
That being said if I had a so who wanted to watch it together I would do it for him but it does not turn me on.

I could stomach the porn made for women though. It is gentler and not so vulgar.

There is so much I dont like in porn, like when the girl spreads her butt cheeks to reveal a big gaping black hole...that is gross
or when she spreads her lips so far apart you can see her ovaries....not hot

Also it seems so violent. I have never really enjoyed it and Ihate when people put it on at a party or bar. It makes me uncomfortable.

I am 35 I dont know if that makes me old or a prude or what, porn is just not my cup of tea.

If my so wanted to look at it by himself i wouldnt mind. I would feel a little inadequate if he were watching something I couldnt provide, like barely 18 videos (I will never be that young), or bondage videos (yeah right to that), or body functions videos (no golden showers here or pudding cups).... I would wonder if he needed something I would not be comfortable giving/doing.

Stop arousing us.

I'm quite fond of my wife watching porn, really. Thank you very much for asking.

I don't care. It makes me giggle when I find evidence of it, though. But that's because finding out the porn preferences of other people amuses me.

I watch it on my own, he watches it on his own, we watch it together and also make our own.

Seriously, if my husband watched porn, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing! We've been together for almost 40 years,so it's a "Been there Done that" sort of thing. (Mostly on my part, although the last 'porn' I watched was the Tommy Lee & Pamela Anderson sex video...and I watched it with my sister. We were most curious as to how Pam Anderson managed to tan certain parts of her anatomy. :bigsmile: )

Would HE watch it now? Certainly not if he had to pay for it...he's tighter than a 40 year old virgin, and by that I mean cheap!

That said, I wouldn't care one way or another.

I don't think it's a problem either!

When people need to check browsing history and so on, just to check he isn't watching porn that's messed up!

I want my boyfriend to be able to fantasise about women without feeling guilty because that's not healthy at all ! I even point at girls in the street for him to look at and then we discuss hahaha.

It's healthy to be open about stuff like that and to be open about sexual attraction as well. Forcing him to suppress everything is not healthy and could lead to other problems

Having an SO watch porn is better than being cheated on.

I watch it for the stories. It's really upsetting how Jorge's not admired for his hard work and intellect by his mean boss lady.
