Superb Opinion

  • Personally, no I would not. But, I do have female friends that have found their significant other watching porn and it seriously disrupted their relationship.

    I guess it would be more of a personal preference than anything. Porn can be a great tool in the intimate part of the relationship. Most couples try to hide the fact they watch porn from each other for different reasons. Like they are watching very taboo stuff, they are ashamed of what they are watching, they might be with someone that isn't kinky enough in the bed and they are looking for spice and fun, or they feel guilty for watching other naked people. Some feel it is an image thing, like you want to be viewed as a good wholesome person and porn would make you feel like a deviant.

    I was in a relationship with a girl that watched gay men porn. Sure said that it was very stimulating to watch one guy submit top another guy. We never watched it together but it didn't bother me at all. She knew I watched porn but back then it was a very narrow genre field unlike now.

    It all just depends on the person, the one person could be jealous of their mate looking at other naked women. Especially if their bedroom time has diminished to almost nothing. Or they are worried that their mate might go find someone that could do what they saw in a porn video.

    Trust, open communication, and understanding are what is needed in this type of situation. Knowing your partner watches porn and avoiding the topic is what starts the rock slide of anger and despite emotions.

  • Not totally sure about that. The last time I was in a relationship, I stopped watching porn and masturbation simply because I was so happy with her that it never seemed to cross my mind the whole time. As to her watching porn, I don't know if she did or not, but hypothetically speaking, if my next girlfriend did watch porn regularly, I probably shouldn't let it bother me, but on the other hand I might feel insecure that she might be watching it because I probably may not be satisfying her enough. I wouldn't break up with her, but I would at least discuss it with her.

  • I wouldn't even date somebody who watches porn. Because once marriage hits and you have sex he will not be happy with you and may force you into sex practices that hurts you sexually. No way. That is the #1 deal breaker. Porn and masturbation besides premarital sex. He'll no. They will go elsewhere who is willing to tolerate that.

    They will know right away that I do not. That's why I do not believe in being strangers. Number one reason why I only believe in dating friends because you get to see this and notice right away. Woth strangers they always hide. Business first, lovey dovey later when I know I'm compatible with the right person.

    • Uhm... Maybe if you were a little more accepting of people... YOU'D be that other person who they go to that accepts them... Or rather... They wouldn't feel the need to go off somewhere else... It sounds like the simple version of what you said... I'd no you wouldn't date anyone who watches porn cuz eventually they will realize what your not giving them... If that's the case then maybe your just using this to cover up your own issues... Not even addressing your since less accusation that if he watches porn hell cheat on you in marage... If he's going to cheat on you when your not giving him sex anymore it has nothing to do with the fact he watched porn... If he really cares then he wouldn't cheat.. no ifs and or buts about it... But I'm assuming your basing these facts on your previous mariges? Like I said in my post... If who you are you just don't like your partner watching it... That's fine... But don't vilify him for it... Most men enjoy porn in some form of another. So it may be hard to find a guy that dosent partake... Even in your friends group... Cuz the younger the generation the harder it's going to be too find that

    • First of all. I am not going to be with a person who spiritually fornicates themselves. I honestly don't care. God is not going to put me with a person who does things that is not acceptable. What issues am I covering up? I am a virgin. I don't watch pornography. I don't masterbate. I respect sex. I respect men. I respect myself. So I'm going to be with a person who's going to disrespect me? First of all that's a quick way for me to actually not be with that person sexually. I know my business as a wife and that's to be with my husband sexually. If he even there's messed with that he's not getting any sex. I'm not being disrespected. You're already cheating just by watching sex. And not its spiritual abuse. I have never been married. Therefore I will not be with a person who does those things. Not every man watches porn so don't speak for all men. Thank God I know better that you only be with one person not them all. And first of all not all of my friends was watching pornography either. That's why I wasn't even going to date them. So don't go around assuming and generalizing people. You want to live with that whoredoms and filth you go right on ahead.

    • I don't like guys like you that do. You people are really screwed yourself up. So why am I going to be with a person who basically sexually screwed themselves up to the point that never going to be really happy with just you? That's not how sex supposed to go. I am accepting that. That's what having standards is for. That's what having morals is for. A worldly man is not attracted to me and the story. I wouldn't have sex out of marriage in the first place. I respect myself that's why I've always kept myself. So I already know what type of guys I am dealing with. Somebody who's going to treat you like garbage because you're not performing the way how he wants you to. That's sick. If I treat a guy like that because I done the same thing I would be considered a whore. I am not a man's whore.

  • Are you kidding me? Nobody would be in a relationship if they broke up with a porn watching partner, because EVERY GUY WATCHES PORN! It's something outside of anyone else's control --
    I encourage it all the time - I wouldn't (and couldn't) even if I wanted to. Why on earth would I want him to stop? It's healthy and fun, and keeps him occupied.
    I think its laughable when girls get 'jealous' of actors performing sex acts on a screen. It's no reflection on me, and guys are wired to be visually stimulated.

    • Good answer right here.

  • Nope

  • I would NEVER stay with a Guy who did this. I do NOT mind us as a Couple Butt---Not Alone at Home. Shows me he is Desperate. xx

  • I've enjoyed watching porn WITH my girl friend...

    If been in a relationship where she had a problem with porn... And if that's who you are then that's fine... But if it's something you do or enjoy them it suggest finding someone that enjoys it to our at least it's okay with it...

    If your the type that has a problem with it then that's fine too... You diserve someone who appreciates that about you and respects your wishes...

    But if you are the kind of person that would break up over it... Do it cuz you two just arnt working... Not cuz porn is evil it what ever...

  • Right now, I'd find it pretty weird if my girlfriend watched porn, to be honest. I think it takes a really high libido for a woman in a relationship to watch porn, and I think such a high libido will more often than not end up in cheating later down the road, so yes, I might break up with her if I notice she has such big urges. It wouldn't be because of the thought of her watching other men and women going at it, though

  • Not necessarily. If they were watching something violent or repugnant, yes. I do not like images that violate, subjugate or demean women (or men).

    But if they were simply watching erotica to be aroused, I would want to share it with them.

  • I would say WATCH the PORN they like, with them!! Find out what they like, and what gets him hard!! Show him your favorites then, too!! Find a way to play, that you both love!! This is simple shit!!!
    It's about connecting, communicating, and learning to love how to love your partner!!

  • most grls don't a lot and all guys do a lot so i don't think there's much you can do if a guy does. if you tell him not to, he still will but not tell you

  • I don't get jealous because of it but, if I'm there with her I prefer she gets her orgasm with me not woth porn.

  • No as long as it didn't affect the relationship

  • If you like to watch porn I always feel that if your with someone then why would you need the porn The foreplay should be sufficient as a starter If it's something both of you want to shuse as research to try new things to enjoy

  • Only if it interferes with her life.
    For example, we hardly ever have sex because she is too sore.

  • Probably... if they do not stop.

  • No I would not. Its just like watching a movie and it’s just fantasy.

    • With Phony boobs and big asses? lolxx

  • I wouldn't.

    • All cool I get it, do not expect your girl not to watch either though, lol

    • No I know girls don't watch it as much as guys do, if they do at all.

  • It is not a big issue. My partner has told me that she has been watching porn alone or with other girls. I don't find any problem in it. After all I myself watch porn, and she knows. Some times we watch together.

  • Yes, I would; she would be cheating on me and degrading our relationship.

  • No. Why I enjoy it why can't she do the same...

  • My Girl watches Porn on occasion!
    I can say that's it's nothing but adorable ❤️
