Why can't be our men's fantasy :(? Why can't men be happy with what they have?

I see this so much, girls ask if its normal to not look like their bfs favorite porn stars

Then guys TRY to console us by saying "dont worry, theyre just a fantasy." HOW CAN I NOT WORRY THAT IM NOT THE ONE HE FANTASIZES ABOUT? I want to be his EVERYTHING lol Is that really too much to ask for? Some guys even say "if they looked like you, thats when you should worry". Im like tf? How lol Id be happy because I know that my body type turns him on ans is his fantasy as well
Or they say "even if he was with those porn stars, theyd probably look for pics of girls like you. Men like variety"
-__-
Obviously, Im not & most of us aren't porn stars, but we still would feel better if those women at least resembled us. Because Ill know that he's happy with my body type at least

Before y'all ask, yes, I only masturbated to my ex boyfriend. I never pictured anyone but him, and he was pretty much my fantasy. Like Marshall from HIMYM, only wanted my "Lily" and only fantasized about my "Lily" (Im a hopeless romantic and when I love someone, I literally cannot even imagine anyone else). So it really hurt to see that he was pleasuring to himself to women who were the complete opposite of me, light skin, big boobs, etc
This is a reason why I just can't date. I'll ask and feel terrible to find out that those women look nothing like me
Even if he's not gonna cheat on me with them, it still makes me feel like im not enough because he *has* to go to other women to get a fast boner

TLDR
Why can't we be our men's fantasies? :(
Is there any explanation to this shit aside from the ones I already stated? Or do we just have to accept that most men aren't satisfied with just one woman (not talking about infidelity)?
*NOTE I dont mind that men watch porn, I just get hurt when the girls he consistently looks at look nothing like ME. Because it means that he doesn't find my body shape attractive enough for a fast boner. So dont come at me (haha pun) with that "all men watch porn, deal with it"
Why can't be our men's fantasy :(? Why can't men be happy with what they have?
If they dont look like you, you are NOT as physically attractive to him as they are. They are his fantasy
Vote A
If the dont look like you, you can still be his fantasy, and enough. (literally makes no sense to me so please explain)
Vote B
If they look like you, THEN you should be worried (again, makes no sense. Please explain)

Ugh. It's like you men can't read! I DON'T CARE if he watches porn. I DON'T CARE if it's always "sexy nurse". I'm worried that the women he deliberately searches for look NOTHING like me. I can be kinky, I can dress up. But if he's searching for white girls with big tits always, I CAN'T become white and grow boobs out of nowhere. THAT'S my issue, that my body type isn't enough to give him a fast boner

  • There is nothing I can say here, that hasn't been said a million times!! Sex and Love are different to men.
    With porn, he is looking for something to just get off to, and it has NOTHING to do with you!! Maybe he is tense from work, maybe you had a fight, who knows, whatever! Porn is an outlet for his stress, and it is all physical, no emotion, no love, not that he wants to be with her! Just that she has some curves, or does something, that gives him that moment, and he gets off. NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU AT ALL!!
    With porn, there is no 'relationship', no memories of past issues, no anxiety, no performance issues!!
    With a woman that he REALLY cares about, there are a MILLION things going through his head whenever you get together!! TOO MUCH PRESSURE, sometimes!!! 'Am I doing it 'RIGHT' and is she liking it, or faking? What is she thinking when I can't get hard, does she think I am not attracted, but this sht at work, and no, think of her, and so on, and on!! It takes a lot of work, a lot of effort, with a woman that he really cares about, to really make her feel like he thinks she wants to (but is that what you want?)
    I think that most guys in relationships would prefer to explore all the sensual joys, together, but, like I said, there is a lot of pressure, and even a little conflict, and he can't get hard, and there is the assumed judgement, questions, uncertainty!
    But when things go well, it is SOOOOO much better than the 'porn' way.
    Still, TWO, TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS, to guys!!
    I know it is hard to understand from a female perspective, but it is like that.
    Stop comparing yourself to what he may like, just getting off, watching porn!! It has NOTHING to do with you!! Unless you are one of the ones that has a guy that found something in porn, that makes him feel good, and wants to share some kind of sensual, play, with you!! Some guy's favorite porn (Cheerleaders, Schoolgirls, Spanking, etc.) are guides to what excites him!!
    Get over the 'Gross!!' factor (unless it is something totally nasty!!) and realize that if he likes cheerleaders, when he gets off alone, and maybe you dress up, and be a cheerleader, he probably won't want to watch the Porn, but rather play with you!!
    What you do, privately, together, for fun, is your personal business. I'm just saying, maybe, if you can mimic his favorite Porn, he will probably choose to play with you, and forget the videos!!!
    What do you have to lose?
    You wrote a lot, so I did too!! Hope it helps!

    • Thats not what im asking at all. I dont care that he watches porn, i care that I look nothing like them.

    • I guess you missed the point!!! Did you read the WHOLE THING? I gave you some clues, at the end!!

    • How the hell would I dress up like a white girl with big tits if Im hispanic, dark skin and small boobs?

  • I don't know. TBH I look at porn stars that look basically like the women I'm attracted to in real life.

    I don't know if she'd see it the same way but I do.

    I do look at some variety but I don't stray much from dark hair and small breasts. And then the style of porn I like best.

    I also don't understand the guys who are like super into certain porn stars. Realistically I like a parade of anonymous women who are all roughly my type and are stand ins for the scenario that turns me on.

    There are a few small things I fantasize about that maybe aren't her but they aren't core. Like a way shorter woman etc.

    The big gap for me between porn and reality is entirely what we do not how she looks.

    • See, if only more men were like you lol

    • Well gets me nowhere I'm in a close to sexless marriage anyway. Think maybe the universe just hates us all.

    • by the way all these guys saying it's no big deal would lose their shit if 90% of what their girlfriend watched was interracial. I get what you're saying and agree. I want to feel like my partners type. Or at least among her types. It's why I go as far as telling people not to worry if they are their partners fetish (so long as they also connect emotionally). Why would that not be great? I guess people like to somehow imagine normal attraction is different. But i figure if my partner has a huge turn on that I'm an expression of then awesome.

  • Ehhhh whatevs.

    I like to eye-fuck hot boys, too. And hot boys come in all sizes, colors, and ages -- some of which are approximately my husband's, and some of which are absolutely nowhere close.

    My man is GORGEOUS. Not even kidding, he's the sexiest and most beautiful man I've ever met.
    ... but, sometimes, I just feel like feasting my eyes on something a little bit **different**. And mb (... the horrors!) even daydreaming/fantasizing a bit about "something a little bit different", too.

    So what?

    Obviously, fantasy is not reality. And anyone who isn't delusional knows that MOST fantasies are never even *intended* to be reality (= even if they were on offer, we'd prefer to leave them as fantasies).
    ... and, on top of that, it's just *that* much more sexual energy to bring back and take out on MY man. #fuckyeah

    __

    Honestly, I'd be turned OFF by a man who suddenly didn't even want to LOOK at beautiful women whose look differed from my own.
    ... tf? Honestly, I'd start getting a creeping suspicion that the dude might actually be in the closet, and that's a big no for me. Normal straight boys don't suddenly stop being attracted to the whole wide wonderful spectrum of female beauty -- and if some boy is suddenly gna lose all that natural straight-boy attraction, I don't want that on **me**.

    • hmm... you don't think that there's something romantic about having eyes for only one person? not saying that you don't notice other people at all, just that... no one else can do it for you.

    • @karahiri Oh believe me, no one else could. Girl I'm so sprung, even if my man died, I'd STILL stay faithful to him. There's just no way any other man could ever step to that. ... Which has nothing at all to do with having, or not having, wandering eyes. Tbh the way I see it, it's much MORE "romantic" when a man who HAS the wandering eyes, and the inveterate charm, freely gives his total commitment to the woman he loves. ... you get me? Because in that case, the commitment actually MEANS something (... and the same in the other direction, too). I mean, don't get me wrong, it's all cool if someone rlly **does** "only have eyes for one person" (... although I can't shake thinking they're just in denial) -- but, in that case, that person's commitment honestly isn't worth anything, because it's just the default anyway. From someone like that, faithfulness isn't PROOF of... well, anything.

    • @karahiri that's exactly what i mean. You get it lol

  • I liken it to food while on a diet. I eat at home every night, I love my home cooked food, appreciate it, think about finally getting home to eat it all day when I'm at work. I chose the diet I'm on because it's the best possible thing for me long term- it's good for my body and my soul and I feel much happier when I stick to it.
    But that doesn't mean I don't like looking at the menu for calorie laden take away. It's not what my heart or body wants everyday while on my diet- but it's nice to look at when I have nothing better to do. That's what porn is for me - it's a quick distraction to rub one out and a nice fantasy but it doesn't relate back to my home-cooked husband whatsoever or how much I love and enjoy his body. It's just enjoying something different on the peripheral in my personal time.

    *please don't poke holes in how I'm trying to explain this. I don't fantasise about people I know, I have no interest in cheating or touching anyone else I just like porn and don't feel it has anything to do with not appreciating my husband

    • Do the men you rub to look drastically different from your man?

    • I don't really look for a specific types of guys, just scenes I'm interested in with people that I'm not distracted by particular parts of their body (weird facial features, bad plastic surgery etc). The actual guys aren't my focus, but 70% are probably fitter than my husband. I asked him years ago if it bothered him and he said as long as our sex life was alive and fun he didn't really care but if it started to wane but we each continually used porn to masturbate with then it would be a problem. We're just on the same page about it - but I understand not everyone feels the way I do

    • Then it's not the same. I don't care that he watches porn. I care that he consistently looks for women who look nothing like me

  • *a guy admires big tits*
    What they say: "I like your small tits just fine"
    What they mean: "I guess I can live with them, but I would really really want to put my head between those big fat aaaaah"

    What we think: "I don't want to be just fine. I want to be his dream girl and I will never feel enough if I know you wanted something else. You might love me, but you won't love my body the same way I love yours. You became my dream guy, from head to toe, I wouldn't change anything while I'm "just fine"

    • Omg, THIS. I think you're getting MH because that's literally how i feel! Like when I'm with a guy, even if I wasn't super attracted to him beforehand, like with my recent ex I honestly didn't like his body much, after a while i get so enamored that I can only think of him. But there i am, just tolerable body. Adequate "enough", yet I'm crazy for you. You totally get it, that's how I wanted to say it

    • Good, enduring Take. I don't know if it came from your Take, but I believe The Creator wired men to be addicted to sex and want to fuck everything in sight at every opportunity because of the heinous mortality rates during early days requiring that as a reproductive strategy. Now we have to jack off to porn if we want to keep it faithful because that thirst is still there.

    • I was hoping you would read the part about men desiring VARIATION. Men often look at porn or have fantasies about women who are the OPPOSITE (or just very different) than the woman they're with - because why fantasize about her body type when you can have the real HER? It's like fantasizing about driving a Corvette when you drive a Corvette - no one does that. This is a common thing that women worry about, but it's also a common thing that guys do that means NOTHING about his attraction to her. If a guy is with a white girl with big boobs, maybe he'll look at porn featuring black girls with big asses, or petite latinas, or tall Asians. Some guys even look at ugly girls when they have a hot girl - just because they have a drive for VARIATION (something DIFFERENT than what they have in real life - whatever that is at the time).

  • I think we are our men's fantasies in a lot of cases even if they have a favorite porn star. Like maybe they like her boobs or his ass or whatever but we're the ones they love and want to build relationships with. That's better than nice calves any day :)

  • I agree, the logic guys use for this makes no sense to me. Then again, men and women frequently make no sense to each other.

  • men crave variety, and that's why they watch porn featuring actresses that look nothing like their girlfriends. but it doesn't mean he's not attracted to you.

    my boyfriend has a 'porn folder' on his desktop, and most of the girls in it look nothing like me. but i'm secure enough in my own skin that i know he's not looking for anyone else irl.

  • A fantasy means something isn't real if the person looks like you that means they're basically with you because you look like that person they don't love you they want someone like that person.

    • And what's so bad about being "basically with me"?

    • In this scenario they're not with you they're living out a fantasy and eventually there will be someone else that matches it better

  • Humans normally want what they can't have.

  • You seem very concerned about gaining men's appreciation and acceptance. I suggest finding your owb self worth first then worry about guys later. There are plenty of great guys who don't put their woman on the back burner

    • Blah. That shit won't happen lol

    • Then you won't be happy. Even with a guy you'll never feel worth ir

  • Men are born with VARIETAL instincts. It's like having Fruit Loops everyday.. . somedays we just want some cocoa pebbles! If you had big tits he would probably search women who have big asses... men always want what they don't have.. porn is perfect to quench that desire!

    • What's the point of getting in a relationship if he's always gonna have that "grass greener on other side" mentality? Also, I'd prefer it was variety. Not just one specific body type. And so you're basically saying that men aren't monogamous. And porn just helps "fake/prolong" it?

    • How do you get "grass greener on the other side" from what i said? I never said he was going to leave you for a girl with a big butt.. you are assuming all this yourself.. I gave you an answer that makes sense and you turn it into something that just doesn't happen. Men watching porn getting their variety is not cheating... so they are still monogamous right? Really?

  • have you ever read a romance novel? shouldn't you be happy with the romance your guy provides you? Same sort of thing..

    you are confined to the rules of reality. movie productions and books are not. That's the whole point of them. In porn, a girl can deep throat your cock until you cum, then carry on deepthroating it until she demands you put it in her butt until you cum again. And then turn around and deepthroat it until you cum yet again. This isn't realistic.

    It is true that because the whole point is to make it look realistic, a lot of men confuse it for reality and end up hoping to find a girl who is genuinely that enthusiastic about oral/anal sex, but most guys learn eventually that it's not a realistic expectation.

    That's really what porn is all about. The fantasy isn't the way the girl looks - any girl can look like that with the right makeup, lighting, and exercise routine (or failing that, plastic surgery). The fantasy is that there are girls who have a visceral enthusiasm for taking cock. But, the thing is that just any girl can fake that, too.

    • No I dont read romance novels because theyre shit. ANd even if I did, its not the same because Id be picturing him. However, I dont care about the acts, I care about the fact that the girls look nothing like me. SO its like he doesn't find my body as sexy, or not as sexy as those porn chicks.

    • if you were in a porn doing the things that good porn chicks do, pretty much every guy would masturbate to it, regardless of what you look like. It is the acts that keep us interested.

    • Then why does he specifically go for the same kind? Different acts, but same girls every time? Like same body type, but that isn't mine?

  • i think it's just the novelty of seeing different women doing sexual things. it's probably biological since this issue is mainly one that just dudes face. it is a bit sad though. :/

  • It's an age old conundrum. In Greek mythology we have Zeus the chronic philanderer and his possessive wife Hera, she of hearth and home.
    Of course we also have Aphrodite the embodiment of female sexuality and promiscuity. She cheated on her husband with her sibling Ares.
    Mythology offers insights into human nature that are not only accurate but often not very pretty or nice.

  • I gotta say that I've never masturbated when I was in a relationship or had a crush, unless I had nude pics of her, I just find it weird though, at least now, I'm not saying I won't ever do it.
    The thing is, that the chances of you dating a person who is 100% physically what you desire, are very little. Like what are the chances she's a 10 in looks AND also an incredible woman who is everything you want in a gf?

    When I picture my fantasy girl, I don't typically think about looks, I mean, they obviously matter, but to me a fantasy girl is much more. I picture more us being in a relationship, getting married and having kids (yeah, I know, it's cheesy), than actually fantasizing about her looks, because I know that, even though looks matter, when it comes to a fantasy woman, looks aren't #1.

  • If you have darker skin and smaller boobs, you would be my fantasy girl for sure. Yes, all guys (I should say most guy) watch porn, but it doesn't mean we don;t love our GFs and wives. Yes, maybe we get an erection when watching porn, but I'll never finish myself off if my girlfriend is around. I'll go to her and ask her for a blowjob or something. That way, she gets my cum and not some video girl, you know? Hopefully your boyfriend does the same for you. Even if your boyfriend gets turned on by porn, as long as he bringing his boner to you to suck on, you shouldn't be too concerned. You sound hot, are you Asian?

    • Ugh. It's like you men can't read! I DON'T CARE if he watches porn. I DON'T CARE if it's always "sexy nurse". I'm worried that the women he deliberately searches for look NOTHING like me. I can be kinky, I can dress up. But if he's searching for white girls with big tits always, I CAN'T become white and grow boobs out of nowhere. THAT'S my issue, that my body type isn't enough to give him a fast boner

  • Who tf cares what these porn stars look like! He's looking at porn. That's really messed up. The fact that he's in a relationship with you but looking at porn is the problem. But somehow you'd be ok with that as long as they looked like you? I honestly don't understand that but whatever he's looking at he obviously find more appealing or else he wouldn't be doing it.

    • And what is the problem if someone is in a relationship and still watches porn?

    • @the_artist The problem? It's fucked up and he has no reason to be doing it when he gets that from his girlfriend. It's cheating too. Any lusting or wanting of another person other than your girlfriend/boyfriend is cheating. It's perverted and fucked up on so many levels.

    • I'm not gonna judge you on basis of Your opinion about porn But me and my girlfriend both watch porn together sometimes, it's normal for Us and i don't think its cheating until you're actually sleeping with someone Fantasising is okay and it may be normal for the person who asked this question P. S a lot of couples watch porn together Everyone has their opinion in this matter

  • Voted B). Simple, you can't really watch your girlfriend having sex from a distance unless you're into cuckolding which is just weird. So you watch porn instead.

  • So you're telling me, because I fap to pictures and videos of my girl and not porn, I'm complimenting her? Because shit, I'm tossing out these compliments like crazy.

  • As I've said to many females friends guys may look and fantasize about a lot of other women, but if you love a women she is the reason you want the extra hours and for many guys she is the reason he is alive. I have been in love to the point where I'd grow old with this young women and give her my heart and trust. I don't think everyone finds love and I believe that few people are wired to be completely monogamous and together forever. I get that you want to be the only woman in your guys life and for many guys you can be and I mean that.

  • I am his fantasy and his reality. 🙂

    • Lucky you :/ Not all of us can or will find such a man that'll be fully happy with us

  • You can.
    We can.
    Both just have to want to.

  • " I want to be his EVERYTHING lol Is that really too much to ask for?"

    Yes, that is too much to ask for simply because no one is anyone elses everything. Nor should they be. Now to be honest in my last relationship. I did almost exclusively masturbate to my girlfriend. Largely because we had such an active sex life and she was hot as hell. I even found it easier to ejaculate when masturbating to her than I did with porn. Watching porn was a rare occasion for me and it was more to do with visually seeing the act vs seeing her body. The moment we recorded a couple videos of us having sex and of her doing some other acts I was completely off of porn other than the stuff we recorded.

    If I were you. If you really have such a big problem with this you should have an honest discussion with him about how you'd like to give him a porn substitute that includes you. So that you are present in his mind when he does it. It is unreasonable to take away porn from him and looking at other girls if you are not fufilling those needs for him. Now some guys do watch a shit ton of porn so trying to match that might be more work than it's worth. But offering that up to him would be good for both of you and the relationship.

    • The best you can hope for in this situation is that he simply watches less porn of other women and more of you instead. Meaning you need to make sure that you're offering value as far as the sexual side of the relationship is concerned. Working out together. Flirting with him. Fulfilling sexual fantasies of his so that he's not looking to porn to simulate a fantasy that he's not getting in the relationship. Like if you don't want to do anal and he does, then it's not unreasonable to just accept the fact he's going to watch some anal porn. It's a fantasy and he's not getting it. And in that example it serves both of you, because it's something you REALLY don't want to do and may be afraid to do and he still gets to simulate it in his mind, while getting everything else he wants sexually from you. There has to be a trade off.

    • That's not helpful at all. Please read the update

    • My answer doesn't change. My point was that it's unreasonable to request he do that, when it's just a passing fancy for him and you can't or won't fulfill that random urge for him. Which is why I said the best you can hope for is a situation where he watches less porn of other women (of women that don't fit your bodytype/ethnicity. Also a side note. Threesomes are a fantasy as well. Picking a girl that doesn't necessarily look like you isn't out of bounds in that fantasy).
