What is with women and their not wanting their boyfriend/husband watching porn?

It's a little different for me cause I am with a girl but I think my views would be the same with a guy.
I have no problem with her watching porn, I watch porn too. and I think if I told her she couldn't it might last for awhile but then she would just start doing it behind my back. Some people like to watch porn and some don't and I do not think that it is my place to tell her what she can and cannot do. Unless it is effecting our sex life I say watch on!

I don't see any problems with my guy watching porn, it's what guys do. As long as he didn't spend more time with his right hand than he did with me it wouldn't bother me. It's no different to a girl fantasizing while masturbating in my opinion. As long as he didn't try compare OUR sex to the porn I wouldn't care, if he wanted to try something he saw in it ok but otherwise I'd be showing him the door.

To be honest with you, please realize I am not attacking- rather being completely honest. In most cases men who feel they "need" porn are coming from some place of insecurity. Men do not need variety. Well not in the sense that I think you might be referring to. They may have once upon a time at the dawn of human civilization. However, today such needs are no longer as strongly inherent in the DNA chain. Visual stimulus is something I can agree on with you. However, to rely on porn as something needed is quite honestly admitting to an addiction. You do not actually need it to survive. While it might be pleasurable, it is not necessary. What is necessary is love, sexual orgasm=gratification, and ultimately reproduction. In a healthy relationship partners seek out sexual stimuli in way that actually turns each other on in addition to turning them selves on. Most women find that pornography at its root devalues a woman and begins to objectify her. Such tolerance has proven to lead to sexual oppression. Surely anyone can appreciate a woman's worth. After all with out a woman none of us would be here. Ideally you want to seek harmony with your partners. Find excitement together as that is truly the best orgasm ever!

Honestly I never had a problem with my man watching porn, we've even watched it together many time.

I think the problem today is that people in general are getting obsessed with looking at porn on the computer. And eventually sex with their significant other doesn't excite them anymore because they look at and fantasize about porn.

My man watches on DVD once in awhile and but it has only added to our sex life. He does not however abuse it like a lot of people are today.

And it isn't just men who are looking at porn all the time it is woman as well.

Wow. I never realized how insecure people where. Where the hell have I been.

It depends on WHY the man is watching porn. I didn't mind when my man watched porn, I watch it too. We would watch it together. I don't know about a "need" for it, we had a very healthy appetite for sex, and we explored ALOT of things in the beginning. We just stopped exploring, and changed our lifestyles I guess.

It (porn) started to become a problem (for me) when it become an addiction and he stopped communicating. I felt weird because he would download porn on one of the web-browsers I don't frequently use as if he's hiding it. After awhile I got bored with the sex - it was just the same old thing. Same foreplay, said the same things to get me in the mood, same stuff. I guess I got lazy too.

And after awhile, I didn't care that he'd sneak off and download it. It was just who he was I guess.

We subsequently HAVE broken-up, but not because of porn - we stopped trying to make the relationship work, and we stopped communicating. The sex was a symptom.

Well, I don't do all those things that you said.
but, I know that porn is disrespectful to women,
and we feel like we are less beautiful than the women in the video, or something and we feel like we aren't good enough if you have to watch porn to be happy.

Porn is not a god send all it is - is fake, disgust oh and did I mention all women and men (if I should call them that) are fake as hell - you know one of the reasons why some people either are disgusted by sex or go gay or lesbian is because of everyday crap that we see! Yea most of you may disagree but you know what I don't care - porn is the basic principle of why women fake orgasms because the guy doesn't even touch her yet and she goes off - ridiculous and stupid all a combination of fake! Just giving my opinion on what I think about it as for your wife/girlfriend I understand how she feels - your watching of porn is a turn - off for her - she probably thinks that your not enjoying it with her so you turn to fake! Oh and just so you know yes when I'm reading a saucy novel it does turn me on but if I had a boyfriend at the moment and he was right beside me I would do it with him not masturbate! I would never masturbate if he was with me and that's a promise!

I love porn! Always have done. And me and my ex boyfriend used to watch it together all the time, I see no problem in my boyfriends watching porn, in fact most of them have borrowed my dvds :D

It could well be a lot of girls like it if their men only think about them, they will be thinking 'if I I satisfied him he wouldn't want to watch porn', which of course is bullshit, men just like new material every now and again.

To me porn is a god send, it stops men cheating and gets me off :D

That's a damn good question, I've had a girls watch porn with me and it was fun but then you get the kind who freak out when we watch porn I'm just like are you serious I've been watching porn for a long time just because you say not to doesn't mean I would stop, but I do say to the girl don't worry I won't watch it anymore, which we all know is a lie.

I know you're not interested in a man's point of view but to my girlfriend it's a matter of decency. Porn isn't the real thing. It's exaggerated sex acts between two people that are paid to stoop to the lowest possible level so that the producers can make money. What we watch and listen to willingly has much to do with what we eventually become. I think it was Napoleon Hill that said, "We become what we think about! " If my girlfriend needed to watch porn a lot I'd say eventually she won't be interested in a good loving sexual relationship with any guy. So they do understand men to some degree and they also understand how porn stimulates men to the point that they'll start wanting them to do the same crap their b/f's or husbands see done in porn like it's some acceptable thing rather than the trash most of it is.
