Is it controlling for a girlfriend to not want her boyfriend to watch porn? (PLEASE READ WHOLE QUESTION)?

About a year and a half ago, the couple had a big issue with this and the couple agreed that to make the relationship work they would block porn on the boyfriend’s phone. Now, the boyfriend is saying that this behavior is controlling and doesn’t want to be together unless porn is unblocked. This wasn’t previously an issue and the boyfriend Previously said that he was 100% okay with it being blocked. Is the girlfriend being controlling? She’s explained how him watching porn makes her feel and she also has religious based reasons. Also, the couples sex life improved dramatically when he stopped watching porn. Plus, the girlfriend has offered to replace the porn with videos/pictures of herself. Thoughts on this? Is this behavior controlling?

  • In this context, I'd say no. Here are my reasons.
    1, she explained clearly why it offended her, and it didn't seem like she was being extremely jealous.
    2, she is willing to compromise with him by offering him personal pics/vids, meaning that she is willing to work with him to find a solution that both sides can agree on.
    3, this one isn't a strong reason, but I think that since their sex life dramatically improved, that shows that the change had a positive effect on the relationship. Personally, I believe that I'd rather have a sexually active partner than porn, but that just my

    To answer the question, in this case, I don't think its controlling. However, relationships are complex, and the same behavior good be very controlling in a different relationship.

    People are complex.

  • Yes, BUT it is needed. The guy needs help & she loves him enough to do everything she can to help him. If he is too foolish & stupid to understand, then he needs to go have fun with his phone, not her.

    SUPPORT YOUR girlfriend!!!

    Porn reduces the ability to have real life sex & causes many problems in relationships. It is an addiction & he is obviously an addict.

    Maybe you could get HER a copy of Every Man's Battle? It is a book that might help him understand the problem. He would probably not read it as he would ID it as another way to control him.

  • Yup... that's completely irrational

  • watching porn causes guys to wish to have sex with porn actresses instead of their own partners so it should not be watch by any couple

  • I think it's perfectly normal to feel that way. I think they should watch it together
