  • I honestly do think it is more of "I need to get off."

    Porn is, of course, very sexual and exists just for one purpose – sexual gratification. There isn't any romance and barely any foreplay and kissing. When you're in a relationship, there may other things that are affecting the both of you that may make sex harder – like what if you guys have bills due and you might not be able to make them this month?

    What are you guys going to do about the damages done to your car? With porn, it's the opposite, just two characters existing in a made up universe to have sex; it gets to the point and then its over.

    • On point.

  • My ex watched porn to get ideas for us in the bedroom. We watch some together, I loved it.

    • Would feel comfortable if u knew he watched that type of porn where its literally just a girl jerking off and moaning?

    • Yes of course, I loved it when he got aroused by things like that

    • Really? Like when he wasn’t with you and he watched those types of videos and got aroused, that’d turn u on?

  • If she's not around at the time and I'm horny, maybe sure. It's only a visual aid though. A lot of women don't seem to realize that and take it too personally.

    • My problem exactly lol. It’s like I wanna see it the way u guys do tho tbh.

    • Just remember there's no "meaning" or extra behind it. We aren't comparing you to them, or want to sleep with them etc.

  • I think young men watch porn even in a relationship because their hormone levels are so high they are always aroused

    • I like this answer. I didn’t think of it this way.

    • I'm older so experience of life allows me to understand things

    • I see. Thank you!

  • I just don't understand, why every now and then there is a critical survey on men watching porn. Don't girls read romantic novels and see romantic movies when they are in love or relationships. The same is the porn - we watch porn even then we are in sexual relationships.

    It is something guys love to watch- sex scenes and there is nothing wrong. Is it cheating? By no means it is! Then why such a 'OMG he watches porn' things. Girls too love to watch porn. Me and my partners - we do watch porn together and enjoy.

  • The same reason some girls do. I'll be honest my ex and I watched porn together. We didn't find it awkward we were just two horny toads.

    • We always found it fun. I remember me and my ex once watched Japanese bus porn, and other than waiting for it to end so we could get to business, we just spent most of the time laughing over the absurdity of the plot.

  • I am in a relationship and my partner and I both watch porn. It just helps us masturbate when we can't have sex or be together. Nothing wrong with that. But when we both watch porn, we always think "damn, I'd love to do that with my bf/gf" so we still think about each other.

    • I like this answer. This is true Bc that’s almost exactly what my boyfriend has been saying too.

  • I mostly did it because i liked seeing things done that i knew i'd never be down to do with the guy. I also watched it because sex and phone sex was not enough for me and i needed to ger myself off further. I dont usually have a high sex drive unless im sexually active

  • It isn't just guys. I watch porn and I am married. Really depends on what you as a couple are ok with.

  • Because I want some me time... And porn helps... it's not a big deal

    • Are you in a relationship? If so, do you think about it as being satisfied by other men than ur partner?

    • Not anymore. I got cheated on. And no I just thought of it as a visual and sounds that sometimes helped me have an orgasm. I didn't give a fuck about any if the men or women in the porn. If anything I payed more attention 2 the women then men

    • Sorry to hear that and oh ok

  • Perhaps because we want to get off but our partners are in period or forgot to buy protections?

  • Men are visual creatures. I’ve had friends act completely repulsed & say they feel like they are being cheated on when their partner watched porn - I found this to be a dramatic overreaction. I would rather my partner watch porn than cheat with another woman. I typically use my imagination when it comes to pleasing myself without a partner, but there have been times when I’ve watched porn. I don’t see anything wrong with it. In fact, I’ve sent pornographic gifs or links through text messages to guys I’ve been in relationships with, fueling the excitement until we saw each other again. I would be open to watching it with my partner on occasion. I think it’s important to keep things exciting & not get into a routine to where sex with your partner seems like a chore.

  • I don't. but I'vee talked to other guys. It is old habits, it is also emotional stress outlet... like when the relationship is not great, difficulties... what does one do. everyone has their escape hatch. unfortunately... no way around it... it is addictive.

  • My friend’s sister’s husband watches it
    They might just really need to get off

  • i like watching porn so do all my girlfriends mt boyfriends (2) and fiance (1) all watch it and my owner my soul bond my real love watches it;]

  • It's normal to watch porn for girls and guys both in and out of realtionships. Me and my hubby watch it alone and together

  • It's more acceptable than cheating. My man and me both watch porn. Our schedules are very busy and sometimes it's necessary. 💗

  • I prefer erotica, but what @Kittycat119 said.

    • Are you in a relationship? If so, do you think about your partner when u watch?

    • I’m in a relationship. Sometimes I think about my boyfriend when I masturbate, but sometimes I don’t.

    • Do you feel bad when u don’t?

  • Would and doesn't bother me. Not sure how others get upset about it.

  • Some people need visuals to get off rather than the memories of their beloved.

  • Just because you’re in a relationship, doesn’t mean you’re getting laid whenever where ever.

    • Yeah but I don't know... I can just do t with thoughts but maybe that just me

    • Most people can... Porn just provides visual and auditory stimuli.

    • Oh ok

  • Because sometimes you're alone, and want to take care of yourself. Maybe one person's sex drive is higher than the other. Or maybe you want to indulge in kinks that your partner has no interest in. There's nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

  • Porn doesn't really do much for me i rather be doing the Real thing , but i have watched it , i think the only reason i watched it was curiosity. And to maybe come Across something new to try in bed with a girl

  • For the same reason why girls still watch romantic movies even when they are in a romantic relationship. It doesn't mean that you dont get enough romantic from your partner, you just enjoy watching that kind of movies

    • I mean it’s not much of that that bothers me. It’s like the getting aroused and beating off to other women part. Like I’m not worried that I don’t give him enough of anything tho. It just feel weird hearing from him that he watches other women to get off. I don't know why it burgers me so much bc it’s such a normalized thing now and I really hate being that person lol. I really am trying to be more understanding tho.
