Porn in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

do you think a relationship can thrive when the guy is watching it

[SnowedIn]

The key word in your question is "can". Yes, it can. Everything in moderation. If he's on it all the time and/or it is a substitute/replacement for sex and intimacy and connection, then the answer is a clear no. But if it's once in a while, then I don't see a problem. And that amount is going to be different for every couple and should be something they talk about. There can't and shouldn't be assumptions about porn in a relationship. I believe guys and girls view porn differently and therefore have to set their assumptions aside and agree on what it will be in their specific relationship.

3 of my ex are ok with it as long as I don't choose it over them.

1 of my ex tried to break up with me when she found porn on my pc.

All of my female friends that I talked to about this topic said they don't mind if their partner watches porn, again, as long as their partner don't choose porn over them. I do not know the truth behind that, if they really are ok.

The ratio tells me that most girls are ok with it on a certain degree. Again, these are super limited sample size. I am not a man with 100+ female friends who talk about this topic. lol

If someone wants to watch it, they are going to watch it whether you approve or not, so if your partner watches it, I think you should be open minded to why they do. If their reasoning isn’t fitting then you should leave them because again whether you like it or not, they are going to do it anyways.

Nah porn is pretty addicting and I wouldn't want my partner watching it too often

[Reece12345]

It depends how often he watches it. I feel that every now and then it's ok (like lots of people do it). But if he's watching it too much that means he's not getting what he needs from a relationship.

I would have a talk with him and tell him how you feel. See if you can find what turns him on so he doesn't need porn.

His sexual needs are fulfilled and she doesn't need to be filled with dick every 30 minutes. Win - win in my mind.

It is destroying my relationship currently

[Danny_dan92]

In my past relationships the only time I would watch porn is when I couldn’t have sex with my girlfriend for whatever reason and was horny

[TheSpaceGnome]

In healthy relationships, your SO sends you porn that they know you like.
I've never had a girlfriend that didn't watch porn.

Depends on what the girl think of it?

[JPresidente]

Every person is different. Some just view it on the side for pleasure and can function normally in a relationship. Others can have it consume them because the reward center or pleasure center of the brain overwhelms them and they have to view something new constantly and can't break away from it. It just depends on what category your guy falls into.

My girlfriend knows I watch porn, and our relationship is stronger than most.

[Saamee]

Lol he would have to make porn😂😂🤣

[SlothySlob]

As long as you're not filming it, it's a romantic encounter.

[Saamee]

Yes i was kidding 😂

[SlothySlob]

Technically you weren't wrong, but we need to make it sound pretty for our "better" counterparts.

[arifrehman]

I think if you offer him to watch it together this will be enjoyable and fun

Porn destroys relationships along with brain cells.
