Why Do Some People Make Such A Big Deal About Their Partner Watching Porn?

Why Do Some People Make Such A Big Deal About Their Partner Watching Porn?
I personally never saw an issue with someone watching porn. The only issue I'd have is if they got to the point they preferred the porn over sex with me or turned down sex with me to watch porn instead. I've always said, hell watch it together... The only other thing was always, if given a choice I'd rather be having sex than watching others have sex...

  • If a person Googles, "The truth about porn" a lot of websites describe how people are abused and used in that profession. Especially exploiting women and human trafficking. So a lot of people believe that by watching porn they are contributing to it.

    Also, many people believe that people who watch porn develop unrealistic expectations of their partner, or even of themselves.

    There are other reasons, but I don't want to bore anyone.

    • Too late 🤤😴😴 lololol seriously tho, not all porn is because of human trafficking, there is actual willing porn stars male and female.. And true, some can get addicted. People can get addicted to anything. Don't make it bad for all, just bad for those that get addicted. Some people can drink, some get addicted... Some people can eat healthy... Others get addicted to food, to overeating, well think you get the point. What might be bad for some isn't always bad for all but anyways, that's something personal that should be decided by individuals not society

  • Me and the Mrs watch together, we talked about it when we started dating and it is all fine plus we made home made few times, we loved what we saw and we do it on special occasions. Watching porn with a partner then have fun and try to copy the act is nice and can spice up the sex life.

    • 👍 right! And exactly!

  • Cuz if you are happy and satisfied in a relationship you really shouldn’t need to watch porn you should be focusing on making your own porn with your partner , So secretly watching porn behind your partner’s back just indicates that you aren’t really satisfied in your relationship and it’s sorta disrespectful to your partner Cuz it might trigger insecurities that your partner might feel they aren’t good enough for you , If you watch porn together then that’s fine but secretly watching it is a red flag

    • My hubby watched porn and he never had to do it secretly from me... Yeah wouldn't a wanted the kids to see him watching that 🤣 but when they were sleeping or gone, then fine. And there's times you can't have sex with your partner, but they may still have needs (like when I had back surgery) why would it be an issue, why would I get mad if he rubbed one out watching porn? Rather a guy do that than cheat with another female or sext, video chat other females.

    • The fact he wasn’t hiding it from you is ok so I don’t see anything wrong there , honesty , porn does nothing for me , if I do watch it it’s mainly to see what new positions I could try or ideas , but watching another guy get Off on a girl does nothing for me

  • No clue. I agree with you 100%.

    • Right!! These youngins.."they sure don't make em like they used to" 🤣🤣🤣

  • Yes, I agree with you. Right if I had a girl I would watch it with her?

    • Right! Watching Porn together more times than not leads to sex during or after

  • I kinda had my self confidence shattered when my ex compared me to them.


    And before you go on to say “well not all guys are like that”. Good for you. I know that already. That’s not the point of why I’m saying this. The point is that I wasn’t with a guy that’s not like this. And it SHATTERED my confidence. Knowing that other guys aren’t like this is not gonna change this.


    This happened years ago. And he’s the only one that has done this to me. So I know not all guys are like this. It doesn’t bother me. But at the same time, I don’t want to hear about it. Out of sight out of mind. I watch it on my own personal time. He can watch it on his own personal time. I would overall prefer if I just didn’t hear about it. 🤷‍♀️


    It’s kinda like how your SO knows that you fart. But you don’t do it in front of them. At least in the beginning you don’t.

  • And I used to enjoy watching porn with my boyfriend

    • Right! I didn't watch it all the time with my hubby, but never had a problem if he watched it

  • I had a girlfriend that used to like watching it with me. I thought it was weird at first but it was fun. I don't watch it very much. Sometimes I find something interesting and I will watch for a while. My wife probably doesn't watch any. She likes the Hallamrk channel.

  • Ya pretty much the same thing.
    If we can't watch porn while in a relationship, we shouldn't watch movies either, or tv shows, or anything with attractive people in it like wtf

    • Right!! Exactly!!! These women that bitch he watched porn probably the same women that flocked to buy the 50 shades books and to see the movies. How's they any different 🤷🏼‍♀️

  • Because they think they rather be with the porn star

    • That's so stupid

    • I had a ex girlfriend that beleived that

    • But bet she watched shows and movies with sex scenes or read books with sex scenes... How's that any different?

  • Get this my psychologists 4th and final wife doesn't watch porn but let's him watch it

    He told me he be masturbating to porn and his wife walk in the room randomly to get something

    It's just life you know

    Lmao

    • Lololol

  • It's like when girls complain about men looking at other women. Just because we're your partner doesn't mean we lose attraction to everyone else of the opposite sex. When our partner is not around to have sex or satisfy needs, then it's fine to look at porn. It's just a virtual girl. We would never actually be with someone that has a different dick every day. It helps fuel our imagination than trying to picture something without it.

    As you said, as long as the guy doesn't prioritize porn over having sex with his partner, then it's fine and really not a big deal. More so in long distance relationships. It should be expected.

    • Great answer! One I agree with 💯

  • It’s annoying at least to me and i would have lose interest in any guy who would admit that right in my face. Watch it all you want but don’t bother me with it in any way

  • insecurities, obviously. I think it also has to do with control as well.

    • Maybe

  • They consider it cheating. Some women want to be the be all and end all of all women for their man. Except they are not and normal men like lots of different women.
    That being said, pork can do a lot of damage if someone gets to deep into it. My neighbor asked me to fix his computer. The problem with it, was that it was overwelmed by porn, really nasty stuff. I had to rebuild it, it was not fixable. If you break your computer, your watching too much porn.

    • 🤣🤣🤣 well my phone screen is broke but from dropping it on concrete floor not porn 🤣

    • Mmmmhmmm. Sure. So it's not from your headboard?

    • I wish 🤣

  • i wholeheartedly agree brains. had an ex that expected me to toss out all my porn because we were dating. fir you younger folks, used to be you had to buy physical stuff like mags, tapes, dvds, etc for almost all porn. the only exceptions being either sime type of making your own (such as recording you and your SO or taking pics yourself) or somehow getting the 1st type for free. oh and this is a lot of why i dont fully understand why so many people pay for online (mostly free) porn. its sort of like having a fully working farm with all the foods you want and going out and buying the same foods instead of walking outside your door and picking what ever your wanting (for this metaphor think of it as fully cooked etc on a tree/bush).

    • 🤣🤣🤣 for you young folks lolol and yeah there's still porn VHS tapes I'm my closet cuz didn't know what to do with them when hubby died... Put ten out by the trash, my garbage men might get overly friendly 🤣🤣🤣

    • exactly. i rarely even think about that part of my porn collection but i still have them.

  • Porn for kids.
    I make my girl my private pornstar. 😎

    • First you have to get a girl 🤣🤣

    • Oops am I that bad according to my favourite aunty? Oh god my heartbreak 😭😭😭

    • 🤧🤧 there's a tissue for you 😄

  • Well I didn't know this was even an issue especially considering woman refuse to send nudes these days. What else is a guy supposed to do when he's horny abd his girl isn't around. It's not even cheating.

    • Wait? You have a girl? Then why would you try to get nudes from females,? Porn is okay... But any man I'm with talking sexing other females or asking them for nudes would not be okay

  • Personally i'm a prude and feel that porn is only for singles. If i was in a relationship or seeing someone long term, i'd have chucked the porn habit.

  • They're control freaks. They probably tell their partner what to do constantly.

    • Probably
