Why men look at porn

This article was originally a series of forum posts under the article, “What every woman should know about internet porn” by Average Joe. We at The Bathroom Door Rule asked Kevin to expand on his view in an article which he kindly agreed to do. Recently I found myself having a common argument with my girlfriend for the fourth or fifth time. I’ve talked with friends of mine and it turns out it’s a fairly common argument, the normal solution I have found is to deceive your loved one. Desiring an open and honest relationship I refuse to resort to deception so, we fight. The common fight we have, is about porn.

Now I know I won’t be the first guy to let the world know that men look at porn. Pornography happens to be one of the largest exports of America, and that’s not counting the several billion we spend on it each year. Somehow my girlfriend thinks I alone am keeping this billion dollar industry alive, even though I don’t have the cash to fix the air conditioning in my car. The truth is men look at porn, straight men look at porn, gay men look at porn, doctors, lawyers, teachers all look at porn. If you think your father doesn’t look at porn it’s because he’s had fifty years experience hiding it.

I’m sure some where out there is some guy who doesn’t look at porn and two things are true about him:

  1. He is the extreme exception to the rule.
  2. I’d never let him baby sit.

If you were to ask my girlfriend what our fight was about she’d say it was about what I looked at. The truth is it had nothing to do with WHAT I looked at, but WHY I looked at it. From conversations I’ve had with other men I suspect I’m not alone on this. My girlfriend is a beautiful slim blonde woman with a larger than normal chest. If she goes on my computer and sees crazy sex acts with a blonde woman with a larger than normal chest she doesn’t care, in fact she’s gotten a little frisky with me while I’ve been checking out such material on more than one occasion. If however the woman happens to be a red head or perhaps Asian, she explodes. This has nothing to do with what I’m looking at, but her own insecurities as to why.

Men look at porn because it’s a fantasy. The problem I’m facing is that my girlfriend seems to think she has the right to decide what kind of fantasies I’m allowed to have. If I look at vintage porn that’s OK but two girls at once aren’t. I can look at all the celebrity porn I want, but no Latina porn. Basically she’s fine with me looking at anyone who is a good representation of herself, or isn’t representational of anyone I could have sex with in real life. Unfortunately my brain doesn’t work that way, I’m sorry if I want to look at red heads more than Klingons, but that’s just the kind of guy I am.

My girlfriend was extremely upset one time because I was looking at porn of some trashy, worn out looking, slightly over weight women. She couldn’t understand why I would look at these women if I found her more attractive. The reason is simple, it’s a fantasy. With these women I can make scenarios in my head. They look like hookers and in real life I’d never go to a hooker. I’d be terrified of diseases, pimps, and jail. But in my little fantasy I can do anything. It’s exciting to think of doing something I know I couldn’t or wouldn’t do in real life. I’ve also fantasized about beating the hell out of the guy who stole my car stereo but that doesn’t mean I belong in jail for assault. “But that’s different, that’s all in your head. You don’t spend your free time watching videos of people beating each other up!” That reminds me, I need to return that Steven Segal movie on the coffee table.

A second point is that men need a certain degree of variety. That doesn’t mean we need to be with dozens of women or cheat on the women we’re with, but we need at least some variety, even if it’s in our own heads. I love my girlfriend very much, and when I get the occasional urge for some variety I find myself looking at porn of various ethnicities doing things that might be illegal in most states. If she thought about it I’m sure she’d rather I used the computer than closed my eyes and let my imagination provide variety. At least on the computer there’s not much chance I’ll see my secretary who wears the low cut shirts, or my girlfriend’s sister.

I understand where my girlfriend’s insecurity is coming from but in truth it’s unfounded. I’m happy with her and I am perfectly loyal. I think my girlfriend is one of the most beautiful women in the world and I’m not going to leave her for a red head, Latina, or midget. Men need to entertain a little fantasy every now and then and I think it’s best for men to do this through porn rather than real life. Would you rather your man looked at porn of nameless women he’ll never meet, or thought of the waitress at the place he regularly goes to lunch? There’s nothing wrong with an innocent fantasy, and chances are that nameless face on the screen will never leave her number at the bottom of a check.

When I was younger and my relationship with with my husband was in it’s infancy I disliked him looking at porn. Now, however, after 20 years of marriage, I don’t mind it at all. I agree I would much rather him fantasize about a women he will never meet. A fantasy will feed his appetite, and as the old saying goes, “I don’t care where he gets his appetite, as long as he eats at home”.

You post was interesting for my female mind. It is such a mystery to most of us why men look at porn. I liked hearing what you had to say until you explained that porn is some way of “fantasing” something you’d like to do but wouldn’t do in real life. Not exactly words of comfort. Basically what I hear is you guys like to think about F***ing someone else which if you are in a relationship I think is a disgraceful thing to do to someone you “pledge you love to”. How can you think of sex with someone else. I, as a woman, do not, nor do I want to think of having sex with someone else. It is not my interest when I am with someone important to me and I feel it is a disrespectful thing to do to your partner. So explain this to me. Why do men need to think of sex with another woman? Why can’t they just be satisified? It seems they always want their cake and to eat it to.

Sara, the point is this – all us guys realize that some fantasies should become reality (such as devising ways in which we can make a deal happen at work or how we should ask for a pay raise) and some fantasies should remain fantasies (like shtupping the big-busted redhead or the petite Asian gal).

But your post hardly gives us the credit for being able to tell the difference. No, we’re not gonna go out and do these things for real, because in real life, there are consequences to having crazy anonymous sex with people to whom you’re not committed. We love our wives/girlfriends, and would not trade them for the world.

This is not about “disrespecting” someone. This is about what makes us men and women (and yes, women fantasize too, which is why Harlequin makes such a mint), and not rabbits or cats. We’re not thinking about sex with someone else, we’re imagining it. There is a distinct difference. In our minds, we are allowing ourselves, for a brief time, to say “what if.”

And one of the neat things about being able to fantasize like this, is we can take pieces of our fantasies and apply them to the women we love. If you were to take away our ability to fantasize, you would take away our ability to fantasize about our own women. And believe me, you do NOT want that.

THE PROCEEDING MESSAGE APPLIES TO MEN AND WOMEN ALIKE, BUT MOSTLY IN RESPONSE TO THE TOPIC, “WHY MEN LOOK AT PORN” AND “WHAT WOMEN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PORN ON THE INTERNET”

Just a few emoticons to WTF!?!?!?!
All of the men that believe they only ‘view’ porn, of any degree, as an ‘innocent’ pastime, are as full of crap as a sack of manure.

After 30+ years (most spent sexually dealing with men/boys/etc.) of experience, (I am 40-yes, an early starter with a boy the same age) there would be a fed-ex box arriving at each of you’re domiciles with a huge wad of tossed cookies, IF I bought into that and know what I know.

Bottom line : MEN ARE VISUALLY STIMULATED, JUST AS MUCH AS MANUALLY: I DON’T BUY THE ‘it’s only fodder for fantasy’ LINE; NEITHER SHOULD ANYONE ELSE. (No, the BIG LETTERS are not for accentuation, only to keep the points seperate-for those to feeble minded/jaded by the chat programs on the internet).

1) Having married a man, who immigrated from the U.K. and LIVED on the internet (where we met, in 2000 and STILL together), I know just how anyone can ‘convince ‘ themselves that “It’s just the internet, it’s not real!”.

He and I have already gone through the ground breaking, knee jerking, ‘OMG-WTF is that on your hard drive’, because:
a) I’m female,
b) I was the one that lead him into submission/BDSM,
c) I’m female,
d) My reputation, ON and OFF the internet is one of demure but nasty to include EVERYTHING in between,
e) I’m female,
f) Disclosure from the start, HE is well aware that I have the sex-drive of a mack-truck, (yes, even at 40-it’s only getting better!)
g) I’m female,
h) He’s a REAL man and admits that there are perversions that do ‘get his rocks hard just looking/watching’, but there is no comparision to the ‘REAL, LIVE, WENDY DOLL’,
i) I’m female,
j) Visual and Mental stimulation is what ‘excites us’ as a mamal, on most all levels. Just try to sit and watch ANYONE that even slightly appeals to your senses, as they disrobe or dress, allow your mind to wander and HEAR the call of the wild rattle through your brain; before you know it, MENTALLY your body has taken over and BOOM! You’re getting excited, SEXUALLY!
h) oh, and did I mention, I AM A FEMALE and I love it! So does my husband AND every person I’ve ever come in contact with, that has had ANY experience with me.

Played up the “I’m female” bit, to make a minute point; studies have proven that 20% of the male population AND 20% of the female population MENTALLY thinks like the opposite sex; ie. analytical and logical thought processes happen, for some people, on BOTH end of the spectrum. NOT JUST MEN ARE PRIVY TO MENTAL STIMULATION.

It is a hard fact, GENTLEMEN, that PICTURES and VOICES and PERVERTED ACTS drive men to a certain distraction, if not to a train wreck of hormonal overflow.

I’ve had to many ‘in real life’ and ‘on the internet’ experiences to know, “NOT EVERYONE IS REQUESTING MY PERSONAL PICTURES/X-RATED, JUST TO STORE IN/ON THEIR COMPUTERS AS FODDER”. I’ve been the 260 pound petite female and back to my original size of 175 pound, big breasts, ample curvage, sultry eyes, flowing hair and CHARISMA.

O.k.. So I am a naturally ’sexually’ charged creature; so be it. STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC THAT MEN ARE NOT, TO ANY DEGREE, EXCITED BY INTERNET PORN/PERVERSIONS OF A SEXUAL NATURE/VARIETY OF ‘ANOTHER PERSON(S)’. Stop trying to pass this ‘myth’ and lie onto the general public.

I’ll grant that there are a large percent of people, not just women, that dislike or don’t understand the desire for the ’significant other’ to fantasize with or with out some sort of ‘aide’, whether it be Penthouse Forum Letters, Lush layouts in Playboy or Hustler OR calling a 900# just to hear a voice on the other end ’say what you want them to say’ so you can ‘fantasize’ that you really are being ’stimulated’ the way YOU want to be.

Sure, there is the ‘knee-jerking, OMG! Is that REALLY what I am looking at?!?!?!?!, comparitive to printed pornagraphy, INTERNET PORN IS NO DIFFERENT! You look at it, SEARCH FOR IT, dig it up because:

1) you can,
2) it’s there,
3) most of it is FREE (monetarily),
4) the element of ‘can I get away with it’ applies,
5) and for (most of us); IT TURNS US ON!

PLEASE KEEP IT REAL WHEN YOU ARE DISCUSSING ANYTHING THAT MAY HAVE RELEVENCE TO RELATIONSHIPS, BECAUSE THERE ARE THE OCCASSIONAL (actually, majority of) READERS THAT ‘TAKE THIS INFORMATION AND PART IT OUT TO OTHERS LIKE GOSPEL’.

The previous ‘lines’ and b.s. are just the things that kept my husband ‘bound’ to the ‘fantasy’ world, had I not broke into it and suggested he actually TRY the ‘Wendy Doll’ instead of keeping her on the shelf; We now have a much more, satisfying sexual relationship, and are still learning to communicate on other levels and ‘be good to one another’.

After all, in this life, (as my old man said) “We just have to find someone that can put up with us, and us with them, and that’s about all you can ask for out of this life”. Of course I am in love with my husband, and he is in love with me, but we are both in love for a myriad of reasons, some as different as night and day from the other’s reasons; understand that ‘IF YOU DON’T OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND LET THAT/THOSE THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR HEAD, THAT PERTAIN TO ANYTHING RELATIONSHIP WISE, YOU’RE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF’.

There is insurmountable truth to “the only STUPID question is the one NOT ASKED!”

****the previous message has been posted as a good will gesture and applies to all sexes****

Simply put, it’s bullsh*t to say there is ‘nothing to why anyone looks at porn’. There IS something, and that is being modest. ADMISSION IS THE FIRST STEP TO *FREEDOM*.

Don’t be in denial, as living in denial keeps one from enjoying the simple pleasures in life.

Guys are different from women, and it so annoying to me as a future psychologist that women REFUSE to understand that. I dont think of me having sex with the man on the screen, I think of having sex with my boyfriend, and theres just a visual reminder. My boyfriend on the other hand probably does think about having sex with the woman he is viewing… because men work diffrently than women. Just as men can not physically express feelings like women do (which is ANOTHER thing women need to understand) men dont view the world the way that women do. Your boyfriend may feel sick to his stomach thinking about the fact that you would NEVER, not in your wildest dreams EVER think of another man. Personally, I find that a little stalkerish. “Honey, I love you so much that I have never thought about another man twice. You are so perfect to me that I never, ever again, need any other man to make my life better.”

Men dont even really view sex as an intimate thing, not the same way as women do. Someone please try to argue with me on this because I will give you detailed reasons why this is in fact true. Men dont say “I love having sex with my partner because I feel so close to them. Its all about being with the only one I love.” Women say that. Men enjoy having sex with one woman very much, but that doesnt mean that they feel the same emotions as women do. If your boyfriend or husband doesnt feel those squishy feelings in real life, what will make him feel those squishy feeligns to a bunch of pixels on a screen.

To all the women out there: YOUR MAN IS NOT THE SAME AS YOU! Science has PROVEN for a FACT that the two sexes brain chemistry are different. They work in slightly different ways. Unless you can FULLY understand a man’s mind (which you cant, just as they cant fully understand your mind) you have no right to accuse them of doing something sick because you wouldnt do it. If your boyfriend cant get it up without porn, if he is watching porn more hours of the day than he sleps, or if he can not stop watching porn or something else extreme, then it is a problem. If he watches it every once in a while (which once in a while changes from man to man) it is NOT a problem, it is pretty normal.

I think all of this is a bunch of bull! It doesn’t matter what you look like, busty, thin, curvy, big rear end… guys are gonna either look at porn or cheat! Some will do both… you can have it all looks, smarts, wealth, etc., but men ALWAYS want MORE or what they can’t/shouldn’t have!
deep down under the fake mask they have up all the time for their partners… men are like dogs end of discussion!! It will be that way until the end of time and no woman can change it! Sucks huh?!!!

Men will cheat, or they won’t cheat. Porn has nothing to do with it. Wanting to look at other people engaged in the sex act doesn’t make one bit of difference on whether he can keep his commitment or not.

January 5th, 2008 at 7:42 am

I came to this site trying to figure out how my husband and I can disagree so strongly about looking and/or hiding that he looks at porn.

I have always know he has looked at it, but he really downplayed the whole thing, now I am finding out it’s easily once or twice a week. I can tell from reading other comments that that doesn’t sound like much, but I feel so upset everytime I find out he looks so it seems like a lot to me.

I hate that he looks at porn because 1)he hides it from me so I wonder what else he is hiding besides just looking a clips on the internet 2)I feel like I can’t compare to the women he fantasizes about (I am a mother of a one year old and work full time for our company) 3)It proves I can’t make him happy myself even though I try so hard

January 5th, 2008 at 8:54 pm

All men look at porn. The question is when does porn become an addiction? If I look at porn everyday, does that indicate a problem? You have to figure the average guy masterbates everyday, and usually to porn… So the average guy looks at porn everyday.

The problem is when porn REPLACES other relationships… This is the real problem with porn.

Yes, right all men look at porn. Then they are all fxxxxg pigs. If a guy is in a relationship, what the fxxK? I don’t care what kind of excuses any of you come up with. It’s wrong unless you look at porn with your mate. It’s called honesty axxxxxle!

im mother of 1 years old son. i found out he is masterbating without my notice again even though he swore not to watch it again. he says porn is bad when we argue about it, but it seems like he is never able to quit it.

i read all the comment here. brains are different from us. men need fantasy. but it really gross me out.

how can i get over it and feel better?

Hmmmmm

January 30th, 2008 at 7:28 pm

It’s one thing to look at porn once in a while, thats totally understandable, christ ladies remove internet porn and add 5 speed shower head and you will see we are both very much the same. What I believe bothers most woman in long term relationships is when their partner replaces their intimacy with online fantasies. I currently live with someone who prefers masturbation to sex. He often waits till I leave the house or worse, till I’m sleeping and then indulges in his online fantasies (almost daily). Because of this our sex life suffers and it causes a riff in our relationship. I love sex and intimacy and at the same time respect a persons need for “alone time”. I think as long as there is a happy medium, porn is ok, but because of it’s availability (internet) too many guys are abusing it and too many woman are starting to feel degraded by it.

Porn is fine – if the person “perusing” is open about it to his partner. If your husband lies about it (as mine does) but then denies it… then it is deceitful and breaks the very trust that relationships are supposed to be built on. There is nothing worse than a man that acts “innocent” but is looking at other people’s vaginas. In my mind – he is the pussy – pardon the expression. If you are going to be the typical “man” that men supposedly are – then just fess up to your activities and be the man that EVERYONE says you are. Period.

There is nothing to confess to. Being in an adult relationship does not mean total disclosure. I put it to you that by insisting your other half tell you everything you are attempting to control them – which surely can’t be healthy?

I have been with my man for 12 years. It started with porn magazines and now it has lead to web cam. No I refuse to get a web cam due to my husbands sick mind. It has also lead to him locking my children out of the house, putting them to bed early so he can “endulge in his fantasy.” What ever. I will be fileing for a divorce this week. Woman we deserve a 100% of our man not 20%. How can he give that to us when hes giving it to women over the internet. My husband says its a guy thing!! What ever, a sick pervert I call it. Men do you really think you wife/girlfriend wants to make love with someone who is emotionally having affairs with other womens. Look in 12 years where my life has come. Whats next a real woman. Its like a drug you start with marijuana and end up on meth. Screw the fantasy that is just an excuse for men to find it exceptable to do what they are doing…

Clearly, with this much disagreement, we can’t all be looking at the same situation. Viewing porn is not good or bad in the absence of context.

I would dare say that viewing porn as a substitute for participating in a fulfilling relationship would never work; both sides would be disappointed. One side would be busy trying to coerce the other against their will into doing something that they believe constitutes a fantasy, but in reality replaces a real live person with emotions and desires into an actor, participating in a show of sorts for the other. Whether or not the “actor” enjoys this or not depends entirely on what they were seeking from the relationship in the first place.

On the other hand, viewing porn in the context of creating new situations and fantasies for use in your own bedroom might not be such a bad thing, I would say.

To each his/her own.

March 10th, 2008 at 2:22 pm

I’ve been searching online this morning to try to understand my husbands addiction to porn. I’m distraught over this. He looks at it aleast once daily and at totally inappropriate times. He’s even been so bold as to look at it on my laptop with me sitting 2 feet away. It hurts me beyond words and makes me feel that I’m not enough for him. That I’m not pretty enough or don’t satisfy him. I know I am an attractive woman (not being conceited) and I thought we had a great sex life. We are very open with each other, and I do anything he desires. What do I do? :(

Xstripper

March 11th, 2008 at 1:17 pm

hmmm…..where do I start…I lived 10 years of my life being an exotic danncer/stripper! My job was to make men horny and when this happend they lost all control and I have bought a beauitlful home,cars and just stuff off their pocket book. I modeled, I was nominated most talented and beautiful…and not in the trashy clubs….the high end clubs…I am very exotic and I knew how to work men. And honesty I can say I laugh at them. The reason why is men just think they have a right to look and fullfil their fantasies at all times just because they are men. They have no respect for how it makes the woman who loves them and takes care of them and their children. I am married now and this is how I showed my husband that his logic is a one way street. I popped open my PC and typed in Large Cock! My husband almost shit himself. Hmmmm what is the big deal I am just looking… pretending and getting off on a large fat cock ( that looks nothing like his willy) The look in his eyes and the comments to this day prove it is a one way street. And your right you can be the most beautiful women out there at the time and it wont matter. They always want what they can’t have and they have nothing better to do. In my spare time I anm getting my MBA,and I am a broker now….when we have sex I give him any fantasy he can think of…what ever he wants…and some things he never even new about…so why does he need to look at others??? Because men are shallow and they put themselves first always they think they have earned this. You women who do not want your man looking at porn do it back look at men who are his opposite that have bigger cocks let him know how much it turns you on then deny having sex with him….or insist you can look at your porn first so you can get ready…and watch his whole world crummble and then watch the names that come out his mouth to describe you. I have worked in an industry of men for years and they are not dogs…they just can’t stop thinking that they are priority and they have the right to do whatever it is they choose to do because they were born with a penis. It is actually funny. Men can not control themselves once the other head is thinking..if I could only tell you the stupid things I convinced men to do when they thought I wanted them sexually LOL. Then when they realized they had been played they run home to their faithful wives to feel better…Women stop feeling upset about your man and his porn do something about it teach him how it feels. That is the only way they figure it out. Women are beautiful intelligent and we are better then men we care about how someone we love feels and we are humble enough to stop whatever it is that hurts our partners. And we won’t miss it because our lovers always come first. And there is no porn out there that can make me explode like my lover can when we are so committed to each other and our sex becomes our own porn our fantasy together that is what sex and erruptions are about. But sadly men are so insecure about them selves as a man they turn the computer on and jack off to someone that does not have an opinon not a fantasy …..an opinon. Women I stopped stripping becasue I got so sick of knowing I was hurting other women…at first i figured if she was dumb enough to stay with him ….but in actuality all men are like this and it is not the womans fault. One day we will be released from our slavery to mans idiocy and ignorance!

Pissed Girlfriend

March 12th, 2008 at 7:47 pm

My boyfriend and I have had what I think of as a good sex life.. Up until he started looking at porn, he does it when I’m not in the mood of on the rag.. and most guys would probably use the same shitty ass excuse he does.. “I need to get my nut off” B*LL F*CK*ING SH*T okay, first off how the hell do you think girls feel when they are horney and have their periods!?! For real, if we can go through it you can too. Secoundly you don’t tell your girlfriend that your going to jerk off, I mean how the F*CK am I supposed to feel, you need to be stimulated that badley that you’ll put our relationship and my feelings at jeordy?? sounds like you love me.. not!! It’s jealousy that some dirty porno bitch can steal your boyfriend away from you. I get so angry at him and the stupid porn. Then I start wondering what they have that makes them better then me, I get super insicure and depressed that he is doing this and I’m supposed to be okay with it. Now the worste thing of all is that when you really think about it a guy isn’t just watching a porno he’s fantasizing about being in it and having sex with some random chick he thinks is hot.. okay so I am a pretty sexual person but when I say I love you I mean it and I’d never even think of having sex with someone other then this person I love. When I tell him it hurts me which is normally after he just did it he apologizes and says he feels bad.. so tell me how the F*CK do you expect me to buy that when a day later your beating of to it again!? I mean I don’t know what he cares about more now porn or our relationship. Seriously guys out their who are in a happy relationship but still find porn tearing them away from their significant others need to learn some fucking self control.

think about it

March 18th, 2008 at 6:00 pm

It is the said cause of more then 50% of couples that fail with in the first year.
Many women see it as a sign that their spouse isn’t attracted to them,
they aren’t sexually satisfying their partner. They generally, and i think
naturally as women take it as, “you’re not good enough”. Rather it be emotionally, physically or sexually they feel inadequate as a partner.
Or they assume that their spouse is indefinitely a cheater. They ask…
– “If you are attracted to me and i turn you on then why do you have to look at porn?”
– “Am I not satisfying you in the bedroom?”
– “Do you think about them while your with me?”
– “Do you think that they are more attractive than me?”
– “Do you compare me to them?”
– “Are you disappointed that I don’t look like them?”
– “Do you watch them and then find yourself wishing that I would act like them during sex?”

For most men it’s not a matter of not being satisfied, disappointment, or comparison. Men are aroused mainly by visual stimulation. Meaning (heterosexual) men are naturally aroused by the naked female body, and lets be honest most heterosexual women are too. If men are seen as extremely sexual beings then why criticize them for being titillated by multiple kinds of
visual stimuli? If a man is happy with his spouse he is usually genuinely attracted to her. And when asked to define sexy generally the answer contained alot of their significant others characteristics not the girls online.

There are three main reasons that men and, yes even women, turn to pornography for satisfaction. One is to see their fantasies acted out, two is to avoid intimacy in a relationship, the third is simply to aid masturbation. Sometimes people look to fill a void in their sex life. For example they might be highly aroused by oral sex and their partner is strongly apposed to it. Wanting to stay in the relationship and still fill that sexual void they turn to porn. There are people that use porn as a way to satisfy sexual fantasies that they would rather not be revealed for reasons of embarrassment and fear of rejection from their partner. If they were to unveil their sexual interests it would be letting
that closely held secret go. Which would prohibit an unwanted amount of intimacy later ending in resentment, so they simply save that indulgence for private Internet sessions. Aside from the role that porn has in relationships people look at porn simply to arouse themselves either before or while masturbating or have intercourse. Remember masturbation is normal natural and healthy for a men and women, (remember many women masturbate to pornography too!) single and married.

Men are thought to be more easily aroused by erotic imagery than women are. While some men are unable to decipher fantasy and reality most men do so unintentionally. Many will say that it is healthy and some even say it’s needed that a man consume erotic material. It’s intense visual stimulation that has no limits or boundaries. Endless possibilities in his personal private fantasy world. And it is just that a fantasy a daydream, not an expression of preference in their real physical intimate lives. So you might be a women that daydreams about driving home in a fancy car to a big house with the picket fence to a perfect loving family. When in reality you have an average car and house with four kids that fight every second of everyday. Chances are that not even for 100 million dollars would you walk away from your family. The same as a happily married man isn’t gong to leave his wife for the porn star he just watched blow two different guys.

A mans’ brain is wired differently than a womans’. They are more sexual, point blank. Is it really so
degrading that a man is aroused by many types of women being that not one individual man was not
created with the ability to be attracted to only one women or even one specific type. They are more
sexual, point blank. If you have a Mona Lisa at home does that mean that you never again want to go to an art gallery?

Porn can be part of a healthy relationship, but in some circumstances it can hinder intimacy. It seems to me the underlining concern with porn in relationships revolves around the lack of communication, and trust within the relationship, not the porn itself. When it is viewed in secrecy in a relationship it wreaks havoc an all aspects of the relationship. Just the same the betrayal of any sexual act done with out the knowledge of one partner. It is also unhealthy for one partner to use pornographic content as a substitute for sex, however there are underlining circumstances that are an expect. For instance if one partner has a condition that is disabling preventing or making sex painful or discomforting. One partner using porn as their main source of arousement can also be damaging in a relationship.

So many aspects of this topic are just far too personal for most to have an open discussion about, even in their very own personal relations. I think the label “porn addiction” is used to put down a behavior that is taboo in society. Has the world become such realists that we find it astonishing that one finds enjoyment in fantasy? Have we, as a nation become so insecure that we shame our own human nudity and claim that they very sexual acts we were created to do are disgusting and degrading to women? Yes, every erotic women is undoubtedly someones daughter, but more importantly she is an individual who for what ever reasons made her own choices. And who is one to judge another?

It is a subject that is portrayed as black and white by society yet vibrant with color. In revealing ones true thoughts on the issue is in essence revealing the many personal, intimate, sexual desires that are openly deemed as immoral and perverse by society.

Men are all dogs, thats all I can say. I am married, and would much rather be single, and alone because I believe all men are not only porn watchers, but cheaters. Given the opportunity all men will cheat. Thats the way it is!

I am sorry when you sit there and fantasize about other women you are cheating. If you love your wife, gf, partner you would out of respect not look at the porn or any naked women on the interent. Plus sometimes this can lead to acting it out in real life. I have been through pure hell with my husband and his porn addiction. Now he is looking at all kinds of women and girls. I take care of him and run after him and wash his clothes, make his meals, put up with his shit and take care of my self so he won’t have to look at other women, but like most men he is a pig. I think that porn should be banned from the internet and that the internet should be censored as all boardcasting such as television is. Women who pose for these pictures are whores and the magazine companies and internet web sites should be shut down for exploitation of women.

I want to understaand what would drive my husband to look at porn…he has not looked at it since we have been married…yet the other day i was looking for something on his computer and accidently found it…he tried to make an excuse which pissed me off even more…and i felt very betrayed since the day before we had had a big fight and he told me i needed to have more self-control…the worst part od if was I WAS ASLEEP IN THE OTHER ROOM!!! this was why i was angry about it…if he was horny why not wake me up and f*uck me????!!! we do not have sex all that much and i have a high sex drive,..so why…would he want to look at it…he did not even jack offf??? so why why why??? it is not curiousity. so what could it be…?

I have been with my wife for over 3 years. the first 6 month or so of our sexual relationship I did not look at porn at all. Then the sex started dieing off.
It went from everyday or every other day to once every 2 weeks. Then i went back to looking at porn. She doesn’t want sex as often as I do so I could either:

A: ask her for sex all the time which would just make her mad and I would get it less than I already do

B: Look at some porn and take care of it myself.

On the other hand when I know we are going to have sex (it takes me a long time to achieve orgasm and sometimes this leaves her very sore) I view some porn as a primer. It gets everything going for when the happiness begins.

I have a very high sex drive if I do not have a release then I get blue balls in 3 to 4 days.

There is no one reason why people do something. Your husband looks at porn for one reason, and her husband looks at porn for another.

Why do men like sports. I personally can’t stand them but it appears to be something many people want to do.

For you women that say women never do such things, you need to readdress your view on the world. Just go to your local restaurant and sit by a group of women on their girls night out and listen to the running commentary on the waiter or that guy over their or this guy at work. They are far more graphic and disgusting than any man I know.

Lets just be honest all around. Point blank men care about porn. Men care about porn so much it is worth making the women in their lives who actually love and care for them hurt, feel distrustful towards them and unsafe within the relationship. Men care about porn so much that they don’t care about the effect it has on the real women in their lives. Otherwise they wouldn’t defend it so much like they do. So thanks men! THanks for teaching me and alot of other women that porn is great and women are crap to you. And that no matter what we do and no matter how hard we try to be intimate and vulnerable with you and try to make you happy because it makes us happy, at the end of the day you are still looking at some 20 year old with implants because that’s what you care about. THanks men! THanks for showing us women what men are about and that women shouldn’t expect to be important or loved by their men because hey, men got porn and that’s what today’s men care about.

I know many men look at porn, but isn’t there a difference between porn sites and escort sites? My boyfriend said he has been looking at the site for years and not to worry. We’ve been together almost a year and when I found out we weren’t having sex only 2 times a month for the last three months and before that it was everyday. We live together and I am 90% sure he isn’t cheating but if you asked me a few months ago if he was looking up escorts online I would of said no way. I since have tried to figure out why he looks up escorts and have looked up male escorts and female escorts online. It isn’t exciting or sexually stimulating for me at all. I can’t see myself masturbating to any of these images the only thought that came to my mind was loneliness.
I asked my boyfriend why he looks at porn and he told me it’s easier to jerk off and takes less time than to have sex. I don’t have sex on my period but that is only one or two days. He tells me he jerks off during those times also.

If men know that looking at porn hurts their wife or girlfriend and they do it anyway because they want “variety’, that sounds selfish and inconsiderate to me.

It is difficult to understand how the brain works…but definately, typically men and women approach things from different perspectives. I have decided I cannot rationalize something my boyfriend does from my point of view and to feel hurt over something like porn. It is hurtful for some of us and yes it bothers me…but at the end of the day I still have to be happy.

Porn is the target for anger, only because it’s easy to point at.
What’s really going on, isn’t even a “porn” issue if you’re willing to step back, breathe, and look at the whole picture.

The first thing women think is “Why doesn’t he just come to me for sex if he’s horny?”
Fact: Masturbation and Sex are on completely different scales.
Sex, as everyone here knows, is an intimate act with another person. Masturbation is a private act with oneself. It is NOT your business nor is it something you have any right to control, ever. If someone is looking to “get off” by themselves, they are not interested in being intimate with another person. He’s not asking you to have sex with him, because he wants to have sex with himself. Wanting to masturbate is NOT wrong and in fact.. it is healthy.

Another possible question:
“How am I supposed to compare to these women/whores.”
Fact: Your sig other doesn’t WANT you to act/look like the women they view on the internet. If you DID act and look like most of the women that men tend to jack off to, they would not be with you for ANY length of time. You would be nothing but a fuck box. Men do not commit to, nor emotionally invest in fuck boxes.

Question 3:
“Why does he look up “degrading” porn?”
If he’s looking at “fuckherfaceuntilshecries.com” it’s because every once in a while, he’d like to fantasies about fucking a girl’s face until she cries. All it is, is a fantasy. Does it mean he WANTS to do it to you, or in real life at all? No. A fantasy is just that, a fantasy. If you’re still confused, think about a fantasy about -anything- that you wouldn’t necessarily want to do in real life, and you’re on the right track.

Question 4:
“Why does he look at porn? I don’t do that, yuck!”
You may not look at visual porn and that’s fine and dandy. I bet you’ve read a romance novel or two in your life time. Do you know what that is? It’s basically porn for women. (Please attempt to deny this) Or how about a random fantasy of being saved by a muscled hunk of a man from a burning building with a long and savory kiss for the hero? Uhm, hello.. you just stepped into your fantasy land. Just because your method of fantasy doesn’t have the same medium as your significant other’s, doesn’t mean it’s any different.

Question 5:
“Why am I being neglected? I want sex!”
Fact: Unless you say verbally that you would like to have sex, he’s not going to know. Okay, I lied.. If you sit infront of him and start stripping and touching yourself, that’s a big enough hint that you want it. Anything else, he’s not getting the hint. Men cannot read your mind and you’d be surprised how terrifying your possible “no” can be.

“But I asked him for sex, he turned me down.. then jerked off to porn.”
AHHA! Now here we go, that “whole picture” deal I mentioned way in the beginning. It’s safe to say, the porn is NOT the problem. The problem is he doesn’t want to have sex with you, period. Cut the anxiety of the evil evil evil porn out of the picture and you have what? “I’m not being satified by my man.” Deal with THAT issue because THAT is THE issue. Tell him how you feel (not about the porn, -sigh-), about the lack of intimacy between the two of you. Who knows, maybe he doesn’t want to have sex because he’s stressed out and it’s just temporary, he doesn’t think he can please you properly and doesn’t know how to bring it up (there’s your chance to inform him), you might need to try something other than missionary (yay, fun!) etc etc. Slapping him with “i can’t believe you watch porn” will get you a stone wall.. and it should. Coming to him and actively seeking out how to make your sex life better (or exist again), now that’s your fix.
Disclaimer: I didn’t say he would stop looking at porn with this method. I am implying that when you find out what’s wrong with YOUR sex life and work on it together, YOU will be better satisfied.

feeling not good enough

August 17th, 2008 at 6:19 am

I tried to get my b/f to watch a porn with me. Instead of by himself. I said, “Listen, if porn turns you on, then lets watch it together and use it as a tool for hotter sex.” Well the one time we did my b/f barely got a hard on. I was like WTF!! I feel so sad because I am late 30’s and my b/f is late 40’s and he lusts after 18+ year old girls with no flaws. I told him that I will never be that young or flawless. Then he says , “but baby you’re perfect to me.” That makes me want to puke!! If I’m so perfect, then why do you need those girls everyday? I understand the need for masterbation to porn occasionally especially if I am at work and we haven’t had sex for a couple of days. But I think that he probably materbates daily to this and I told him that I thinks it effects our sex life. I think occasional porn is hot and can be part of a healthy sex life. But he says that I am trying to control him and his thoughts. I told him that it is not about my wanting to control him but it is about not being enough for him. And the other thing is that I am a very attractive woman who works out several times a week. So will someone help me come to terms with this…Otherwise, my b/f is a wonderful man….

I’m trying to be understanding to my man and I wonder…

If you are in a committed relationship, what is the norm for how often you look at porn?

August 27th, 2008 at 1:35 pm

It’s a fine line…I had a boyfriend that was heavily involved in the interactive sites. When I opened Pandora’s box, I found out that he had spent almost 2 g’s on internet porn. Our relationship ended when he cheated on me with a hooker. That alone makes me feel that pornography can be a symptom of a larger problem (infidelity). My current boyfriend looks at porn as well, and I try to keep an open mind about it despite the ghosts from my previous relationship. What concerns me primarily is that the sites he looks at are “teen” or “barely legal” type stuff. This seems like he could be dangerously deviant. He’s for the most part unapologetic about his actions and I regularly end up washing his nut rags. What does anyone else think? Should I be concerned?

Wow

September 1st, 2008 at 6:38 am

I have a question….If I want sex all of the time and I have verbally announced this to my boyfriend of a year and a half…why is he looking at porn when I live with him and am always ready for sex? It is the number one problem in our relationship (that i dont think we have sex enough) so why if i complain about not having enough sex is he turning to porn….anyones thoughts will be appreciated

crazygirl

September 29th, 2008 at 4:50 am

Ok so here I go…I am a female and I like porn too, granted I may not look at it as much as my boyfriend (considering being a mom and working full time) who has the time for it!!I can get off 3x daily and still have sex with him, but when I’m constantly asking him for sex and he is always “tired” but than I see he was looking at porn that day and well guess what no sex for me! Now here is my other problem he can look at any porn he wants but there is this kind of porn I am not understanding it is SHEMALES ok guys is my man sick or is it something different or interesting but he jacks off to it so help me out please!!

confused!!!

November 5th, 2008 at 2:07 pm

I didnt read all people post here…. Im married 1 1/2 yr i love sex, i think that maybe more than my husband, i like porn as my husband… and when we are together watching it, i see at anything he would like to see… but sometimes he does that alone, and i feel bad about it…. is that normal?! I’ve been thinking about going to a phycologist bcs i feel insecure/worry all the time about what if he cheat on me… what if he prefers another woman, etc… when we got married i gain some weight, like 25 pounds and i felt so unsexy and so ugly that i got into a diet and now im @ 122 pounds, and i’m like when we first meet, i feel good, pretty and sexy, but i still feeling unsecure about what he could do… and then i feel soo stupid bcs he never had gave me any reason to feel this way. I when he watch porn alone, i hate when he talk to a pretty girl, and we went to a halloween party and i saw him staring at other girl… he was fucking staring, not looking like u can look a girl who is pretty that passed by, as its normal…. and we talked about it, but im not feeling completely good…. anyway, i just needed to say it/write it… i think i should just go to a dr or something…

upset

November 5th, 2008 at 6:54 pm

I guess I will never understand..it seems to me that guys don’t give a shit about how it makes the person they love so much feel..To me it’s very disgraceful to the woman you are with and is very hurtful when we find out..only then to find out its been going on for some time. I currently have no desire to have my fiance near me, i’d rather he not touch me and the last thing I want right now is sex. I’m completely disgusted and turned off by what he was looking at and it makes me sick to my stomach. If i’m not enough then he can look at porn and never sleep with me again. I’m not the kind of girl who just shrugs off my guy fantasizing about fucking other women. If that’s what he wants he can leave. I have absolutely no desire to think about being with another man and if I did would know i’m not ready for a serious relationship, this is something he should have thought about before he asked me to marry him. It may seem i’m not open minded..and about this issue i’m not, but I don’t care. I want someone who only wants me and doesn’t need to watch porn. anyway, I just needed to vent

upset

November 5th, 2008 at 7:00 pm

i’d also like to know why this hurts so much….it upsets me so much that i could cry all night about it..how lame is that..

upset

November 5th, 2008 at 7:03 pm

the thing that makes me so sick to my stomach is when he’s so loving and nice..how can men be like that when hours before they were fantasizing about getting a blowjob from the tramp on the computer screen and f***ing the girl in the next video..disgusts me! Definitely makes me question if I want to have to deal with this the rest of my life

November 6th, 2008 at 6:07 pm

TO MY HUSBAND: You are a f@@*ing asshole. How do you give yourself permission to cheat on a relationship that is based on trust? How can I trust you, when you do things that are deceiving? If you believe that pornography is acceptable, then why would you find it necessary to hide it? To me, marriage means complete commitment and requires complete honesty. Being a man, means “manning” up. It doesn’t mean that you get to blame it on someone else because they gave you the website. It doesn’t mean that you turn the volume down on the computer, so that you can hear your wife coming down the stairs, and shut it off so that you get to avoid an argument. Being a man, means owning your own, even if it produces results that you many not want. People need to face the consequences of their behaviors and the decisions that they make, although the results may include negative impacts on their marriage. You can’t just take out of marriage what benefits you. It doesn’t mean that you just get to take the perks. Marriage includes sacrifices, a two way commitment.
If porn is a normal activity, then why would you hide it? If you really believe that it is okay, why would you have to hide it from me, and why would you have to look at it at night when no one can catch you doing it? If pornography is normal, why would you throw out the pictures of all the Asian and black girls that I printed up from the website you were on, with their breasts and assholes exposed; their phone numbers prompting phone calls and a late night in house massage?
How could you honestly feel if you caught your wife looking at naked men? How would you feel if you found out that your wife was fucking other men? Porn to women, is similar to men fucking other ladies. It makes us feel like we are not good enough for you. Why would you want to make us feel like we are not good enough? If you love for someone, that should be enough. How do you justify being dishonest and disloyal to someone who has provided you with love, loyalty, honesty, cooking, cleaning, total family support, and availability? How can you substantiate looking at other women, when you, yourself, would be insulted if your partner did the same?

How can you look at pictures, and fantasize about women who are younger than your own daughters? All day long, that is all you did, looking at pictures of girls who are younger than your own daughter. It is so disgusting. Can you imagine a picture of your own 23 Year old daughters on Craigslist, erotic? Looking at the pictures on Craigslist, is like looking at your own daughters. These are pictures of girls who are 30 years younger than you. It is revolting.
So now I am faced with a decision. Do I want to continue a marriage based on dishonesty? Do I want to live a life where I have to check the websites you go on? Distrust is a lot of work, and marriage should not require that much work. Do I want to continually check the phone calls you make? Do I want to worry about your next step? Does the next step include extra-marital affairs or phone sex, or call girls? How long has this been going on? I cant live my life checking your work computer, to see if you are being dishonest about your porn addiction. I don’t want to think that you are cheating on our marriage, or thinking that you are fantasizing about some Asian chick when you are fucking me? Why would someone want to have a sexual relationship with a picture, when their loving and good looking wife is a ready, willing and available partner? Why would a husband sacrifice complete love and commitment for a picture of someone who he does not even know? Why would a man choose internet fantasy, when they could have actual and real love anytime they wanted it? I wilI never again, wear stockings to indulge your fantasy, when you want sex, so that you can get aroused (but are actually visualizing an image of someone else). I want you to want me as I am. I want to be enough for you.
I would rather have no one, than a disloyal, selfish, piece of crap.

Hi, I know how you feel. It just gives me a sick feeling – i can’t stand it.

It a scary, unsafe, insecure feeling for me. He is so intelligent and well read and very romantic, so have I been putting him on a pedestal?

Is there any man out there that does not desire this?

How can I talk to him about it without being flaming red with anger. It scares me that this might push him away and he might do it/hide it even more and i’ll always be wondering, worrying, how can i make it stop.

I really love him and can’t imagine life without him. I keep wanting to talk about it but if he tries to defend/excuse this, it might plunge me into more despair. If he apologizes, how can i stop searching through his things – it’s devastating for me.

I NEED to feel special, like i’m the only woman – it doesn’t help that my father’s absence in my life at an early age and then in and out since then still affects me no matter how much he (my father) apologizes. I can’t imagine or noble new President would do this! Is this the way of the world? Am I the one living in a FANTASY.

I’m by no means a prude or conservative but I need something to be sacred.

This feeling affects my whole body, I can feel it in my legs, the pain is almost suffocating…

I’m glad I found this forum and slightly comforted by the fact that I am not alone.

WE’LL GET THROUGH THIS.

WE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

This one goes out to curvish on how you hit that point dead on! Kudos to you. I feel the same way. I always wonder what he thinking while having sex with me now, and wonder why he is actually looking at pornography every day and only when I am working, and on my computer, not his! He is totally asking me to find it and make an argument. Is this part of his fantasy? I think the worst of my man is that he has now gone beyond just pornography but when a movie has a naked woman in it, he is all in tune to the picture on the screen, and when I do go to work the next day or whenever I go to work next he does a search for the movie + nudity. Why? Is there really a reason for me distrusting you? Why can’t you speak to me about it when I have brought the point up? Is this beyond a fantasy and more an addiction?

This is a degrading act to me, it makes me feel I am not good enough. A fantasy is not always ‘just’ a fantasy, it is soemthing that could come true and be real. Are you going to the strip clubs with your best guy friends on the weekends when you go out? These are the things I think of. Sure I would rather you look at porn of females I don’t know and you don’t know. But this does not make it right. You have successfully made me more insecure of myself than I was before, sure I am petite and I don’t weigh a lot, but when you look at that tall blonde, big breasted woman it kills me more and more everytime I accidentally find it on the computer.

Sure women have fantasies also, and sure some women masturbate as well. I am not sure if I speak only for myself but I think of a fantasy that involves my partner and what I would love him to do to me but am too scared to actually have something like that performed out. So why is this impossible for a man to do? You cannot fantasize about your woman?

Currently I am enrolled in a college human sexuality course, and I can say I have learned a myriad of interesting facts but the one that struck me the hardest and I wish I knew the complete study was that supposidly when a man masturbates he is thinking of his partner, but when he is having sex – he thinks aobut that porn star or something else. Men what is your take on this? Is this true? Do you guys really think of that kind of stuff?

‘Trying to breath’ you are correct we can get through this, and we are all beautiful! I am glad that I am noticing that most women are feeling about the same way. I am glad I am not alone in this feeling.

To the writer of this article, I understand your point. But I do not completely agree to it.

I moved out of my house a week ago, leaving a long term marriage, because I truly believe that nothing in our lives, comes for free. For the past seven days, I have been living, sadly, in a hotel, and do not intend to return home. I guess that I am fortunate, in some respects, that I can financially afford to stand up for what I believe in. I feel empathy for those women who are stuck living a life where their partners are allowed to cheat on them because of their choice to look at porm rather than their loving partners. I may be alone. But I believe that I deserve a relationship that includes honesty and total commitment. If my husband can not be completely satisfied with me, then our marriage is over. I would rather be alone, then be with someone who can’t be happy with just me. To all you guys who have responded by saying that porn is okay, then man up, and live your life as single,and unattached. If you want to be in a loving home, with an available wife who cooks and cleans, then be prepared to accept the sacrifices that are required of an honest and dedicated relationship which includes total commitment to your partner, without porn.

I know that its normal for men to look at porn but i just don’t understand why they have to look at it every single day. and why they have to master bait every single day. Is it normal to want to cum every single day? my husband can’t sleep with out cumming. and thats everyday. And i don’t get the fact that why do they have to master bait and watch porn when they can just have sex with their partner? So i guess he’s addicted to pornography?? thats bad right?? so does he need help or what??? Cause he’s spending so much time on the computer watching stupid porn when he can spend time with me and his daughter. Do men even think of things like that? Its so annoying. The fact that he works all freaking day and comes home just to freaking watch porn and master bait. wtf. I freaking hate it when he does that. What should i do?

Let there be respect

Women don’t simply want their husbands to direct their lusts exclusively towards them, as if this made a man “faithful.” A husband can commit “adultery in his heart” with his own wife if he treats her as nothing but an object for his selfish pleasure.

I know it’s a cliche, but why do so many wives claim “headache” when their husbands want sex? Could it be because they feel used rather than loved? Marriage does not justify lust; it is not a ticket to treat a spouse as a means of selfish pleasure. A woman who is the object of lust soon realizes, “You don’t love me; you don’t need me. You’re only interested in a means to your own gratification, and you can get that anywhere.”

I wonder how my new boyfriend would feel if I kept mags of better looking men with equipment much larger than his lying around, as if it were no big deal. If any woman confessed to wanting to see and fantasize about other men – no matter how much ‘we love you’ – I think most guys would be taken down a few notches. I don’t care how secure you are. If it’s good for the goose…

My problem is that my boyfriend has no sex drive, and I think its because he looks at porn and masturbates regularly. I found a file in his computer that has one file named “Don’t Look” and then a file in that nmaed “That means You” and then one in that titled “ML” (Thats me…ML)Is this harmless? Is he entitled to his privacy? But anyway, it has really gotten to a head where i feel like my own sexual needs are seriously neglected and now i am thinking about breaking up with mainly a wonderful man. Hmmmmmm.

To my husband who is a traveling airline pilot: Just like curvish said up above earlier about her husband: You are an asshole. I don’t give a sh** for your stupid reasons why you keep looking at sluts on the internet when you promised you wouldn’t. Your reasons suck! So here’s my internet blab. You looked at porn, I found out, I was hurt, asked you not to. I then found you went to sex dating sites and set up profiles. You put the last stab in our marriage and put me into a fu****ng spiral of the worst depression I have ever felt since our son died 14 years ago. I am doinig my best, I wanted this New Year to be good, I am trying my damndest despite trying to come out of a deep depression. I do apologize for my faults, I love my family, I want a man who respects me and does not want to hurt me, not a man who make excuses to every time he looks at sluts on the internet and the night before he leaves on a trip takes an hour to come to bed, goes on his computer after that and calls spooning me an advance for sex, then leaves and goes to another country to jack off to the sluts while away and I take care of his family and home. I WANT TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND LOVE, NOT LIKE I AM SECOND BEST TO YOUR JACKING OFF DURING YOUR HOTEL STAYS AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE SINCE I CAN’T TRUST YOU.
I am a sensual woman, you know it, you know I have a high sex drive and beg for sex anytime. I never reject you, you are just too damned stupid to get out of your fantasy world and your friggin jet lag to appreciate who I am, what I am and what I am willing to be for you.
To all you friggin dweebs and jerks out there who think that you can be married for any length of time and find excuses to constantly look at porn and do sex sites too and think you are not disresprecting your wife and vows and not betraying her heart, you are sick puppies. My marriage is over, and for what?? I mean WTF?? For him to take another look at SEVERAL SITES FOR MORE THAN TWO MINUTES ACCORDING TO MY KEYLOGGER. He wasn’t doing it to spur my anger according to him (he says he found the keylogger), Bullsh**! If you were just fishing to spur my anger, then why did you watch Nikole and her guy in the jacuzzi while he ate her out? That was 50 seconds long, I saw it from the site you went to. So, while you “tested” me (liar), you watched too. You know what? You can have ALL of them, but not me. Don’t even think of replying anything, you’re not worth listening to. Oh, and by the way, this whole blog “It’s just out of anger.” Is that a good enough excuse? A couple of drinks and I just blogged!! OOPS!

Oh, a couple more things! I have no problem getting a man. I never have, just from now on I will choose them more carefully. There aren’t many good ones, but this time I will be cautious. I loved you, I made mistakes, BUT SO HAVE YOU. It’s called forgiving eachother and working hard at it, and realizing things take time. And while the time is on our side, you don’t go and do it again you moron. TRUST, LOVE, RESPECT, IT GOES BOTH WAYS. God, why? I was finding it in me, albeit difficult, to make 2009 a great year. I have issues too with what happened and things I have done, but I loved you. I must move on though, I will somehow find the strength. I at least believe out of 25 years, most were good.

My husband of 10 years prefers looking at young naked babes having sex, giving blowjobs. I can’t compete, because he wants to have sex with himself and not with me. I have come to the point, that after 10 years of marraige the husband is just tired of the wife, and wants something new. I’ve heard my husband say 2 months. So I let him have all the porn and internet he wants. I go shopping, spend money and do what I want to do. When I want to cum, I get my vibrator out and have sex with myself. Must say I am getting pretty good at it. Still miss the fucking and sucking and rolling in the hay, but that was the old days. Men over 50 want 18 year olds….that is all there is to it.

My partner looks at porn as soon as I leave him. I leave and he calls me and tells me he loves me and then thinks about downloading porn within ah hour of me elaving? That to me is not love. Sorry. All you men who think it’s totally innocent too and something you just have to have, well I am telling you – I hope all your wives and gf’s leave you. They desrve much much better than what you are willing to give. If you want to imagine fucking thousands of other women and not honour your partner mentally and emotionally, you are a smuck.

I am probably going to leave my partner over this. I cannot reconcile his ‘Oh I love you so much’ with him looking at porn as soon as my back is turned. I think there are better men out there who must still feel good about having sex with real women, with real intimacy. I am not preapred to compete with sluts.

If your man refuses to stop looking at porn when you ask him to, and he continues to hide it and lie to you over it, then you know how much he cares for your feelings. He puts porn above you, simple as that. Women need to state their feelings over this and not let men get away with telling you they need porn, like it’s air, like it’s breathing. This is rubbish. They want you and they want their porn. I have told my partner he must choose. I told him I will leave him to his laptop because life for me right now is horrible.

Men need to learn how to respect and love the woman they are with and to give up porn if they still care about their relationships.

The internet has made porn accessibility too easy, and for guys it’s like a huge cake shop, obviously porn is big buisness and they know how to draw guys in, it taps into the oldest drive in men, but it doesn’t make it healthy. Men need to see how they are being manipulated and controlled by porn and if they do want to stop ladies, then support them all the way. If they continue to hurt you, leave them.

Pesonally I can no longer be in a loving intimate relationship anymore with a man who watches porn.

i just found porn on my fiancee’s laptop and after lying about it for 6 months i FINALLY busted him. guys: IT IS WRONG! realize, it is cheating! AND IT HURTS US! learn to care about more than just your sick piggish fantasies. there is absolutely NO excuse for it…none….what-so-ever. so drop the lame bullshit like “i need variety” or “im only looking” because its retarted. how about I look up some guys massive cock (excuse my language) on the internet and see how you fucking feel about it. porn is disgusting im EVERY way and any woman who will do that to herself is lower than dirt and can die horribly along with the men who watch it! if my fiancee could lie to me about porn, then what will he lie about next? he is an asshole and i know the majority of women out there will agree with me unless they are just sick perverts themselves. for all those sluts who put pictures and videos on the intenet, KEEP YOUR PUSSY IN YOUR PANTS! you may think youre sexy but you are skanky and im sure you have a variety of STD’s. mmmm great career choice ladies, kudos to you, really. enjoy dying young…i know i will enjoy hearing of it :)

It’s called human contact! I have toys too, and want/need sex. Take care of your business at home. That means your wife/girlfriend/who ever. If your constantly fullfiling your own fantasy, how are you going to satify the one you call your wife/girlfriend. you can’t there’s nothing left.

February 2nd, 2009 at 12:44 am

i can completely understand why single guys look at porn. and i can understand the need for men in relationships to jack off once in a while. but its just so hard to believe that youre completely fulfilling someone when they look at other women. its also such an issue of respect. just because you can doesn’t mean you have to. Obviously men are going to be turned on by porn, (women too), and just because youre in a relationship no matter how “in love” you are, isn’t going to change that. I look at porn when im single, it helps me get off, but once in a relationship, i feel like its disrespectful to seek out and masturbate to images of other men. Just like i expect my man to keep his dick in his pants when hes drunk at bars and im not around, it seems that it should be even easier for him to not look to other people for sexual gratification at our home, when im around, and always willing.

stupid men.

my problem is a bit more complex than some…i’ve found porn that my husband had…pics online he was looking at of naked models…stuff like that…and yes there was an argument…not about him looking at it because i like porn too…it’s that he does it behind my back…and he hardly ever wants to have sex with me…and those arguments never lasted long….but recently he was away on army duty…and i found out that he had signed up on a phone fling chat…and had an account with adult friend finder….with porn it wasn’t really bad because it’s just porn…but this site is to meet people locally….when i asked him he said he was curious…that every man wonders what local women look like naked…this is really hard for me to believe…i dont know what to do..it’s tearing us apart..not to mention he has lied to me many times over the past few years….how can i ever know he’s telling the truth?

I wonder why my man spends several hours looking at porn online, but we only have sex 1 to 2 times a year and it isn’t me that’s not willing to give. I am getting really frustrated. I have been with him for 8 years, we are not married, and I just turned 30. I am really beginning to think that I am wasting my time with him. He doesn’t even compliment me. He has every excuse in the book. His excuse for not putting out was because I asked for it and that turns him off so I quit asking, then he said it was because he was never in the mood when I was. Now he says it is my disposition and the weight I have gained since we got together. I have gained weight, but I do not think I am fat. I am 5′8, weigh 135 lbs and wear anywhere from a size 4 to a size 5 in jeans. Is this fat in a mans’s world? I just don’t know what to do. Oh and also , I feel like he is selfish. When we do have sex, he wants a blowjob and then it’s like wam bam thank ya mam. He ever gives me fourplay and says he doesn’t because he isn’t into that. What the hell???!!! Can anybody explain this for me?

Why women don’t like men looking at porn.

The biggest card a woman has to play in a relationship is sex. Women are by their very nature sexually attractive, and men are sexually drawn towards them. Man are visually turned on and women generally have to be brought in to ‘the mood’. Men need to make an effort, women just need to say ‘come and get it’.

Porn takes that dynamic and turns it on its head. A male satisfied by masturbation will simply not make the same effort to please a woman. Also by looking at powerfully erotic images a man may well dull his senses so that his partner simply does not arouse him.

For a lot of men a sex drive is a powerful motivator. Instead of telling your mean not to watch porn, give him a reason not to want to.

If he still watches porn, he then has a problem.

i’ve been through the whole “he’s watching porn and hiding it from me” senario and got through the other side. don’t get me wrong, the porn isn’t the problem, the fact he was wasting money on it was. especially on the months where he couldn’t pay his bills because he was broke till his next paycheque, so i had to give him a handouts!
But once i made it very clear how i felt about him paying for it he stopped (fair enough i’ve blocked the sites to make sure, but he was the one that suggested this – just to make it clear i’m the computer “geek” in our relationship).
like i said before i don’t have a problem with him watching porn, in fact i learnt more about what turns him on and what his fantasies are – some which will remain as such, and if porn is the only way for him to “experience” these then so be it.
i learnt so much from this in fact that we now both view free porn after finding some great sites recommended by friends, alone and together – and if he texts me at work while he’s viewing at home, it’s a bit of a turn on for me!

i still don’t get why he hid it from me as he knows i’m really openminded and we have watched porn dvd’s before and have been attending a yearly “adult” expo in london for years – but that’s for me to deal with in my head.

i will say that the only thing i find truely unacceptable in relation to internet porn when in a relationship is viewing sex webcams. it is ONLY ok if you are single, no matter what sex you are so…
BUSTED2002 good for you filing for divorce, the nasty cheat!

just to finish – men like the immediacy of images and videos, whereas women prefer fantasy of a good story line. no women can say that they don’t have a film star they’d like to have a go at, so if we can fantasise we have no right to stop our men doing the same in their own way.

I can think any reason why man do it. I have being marry for 18 yrs. As far i knew my husband watch porne. In a resent depoyment to Irak i found out that he was chating online with different kind of woman. I ask him how could you he dint have an answer for me. I told that was the last betrayel. While he was gone wish was about 8 months I dint went out to be with other mens. The only thing i though about it was him. I separed from him it was not easy and still hurt. He apoligies many times just last week he was watching porne again. Not chating. I was wondering if any one knows about a program that records every activity in the computer. I love him very much but I dont trust him at all.

I’ve been married 8 years and I know my husbands been looking at porn since the day we met. Yes, I did blame myself and thought I wasn’t good enough, boobs were too small, ass is too big….crap like that. But when you really think about it EVERY man looks at porn. Men married to supermodels look at it, men married to a woman that’s had kids and gained some weight look at it. So you see ladies, it’s not about you or your appearance. If it was you then that would mean EVERY woman that is not a porn star is “unattractive”. And we all know that’s not possible. So just remember EVERY SINGLE MAN looks at porn……..so there’s no way you can blame it on your appearance.
I have to admit there are times I look at porn then go masturbate. There are times I just don’t feel like going through all the motions to get off. So I just figured my husband is doing the same thing….just wants to get off quickly with out all the foreplay and other things.
It’s just a fact of life ALL MEN like to look at whores they can’t touch. Just like I look at hot men I’d never be able to touch. Doesn’t mean I REALLY want to or mean I love my husband less.

i see your point and its an interesting one , but i would like to know , why he would watch porn rather than be with me its ok to do it once in a while but to jack off at it all the time that’s my whole confusion is why he would not turn to me but to the porn and i have never refused him and if u are wondering and not unattractive . just worried and confused maybe my married of 12 yrs is in trouble ….

I will agree with pastor Craig Gross, I have been witness to what getting your self involved with porn does to a person. It is an addiction!. Of course those of you that want to be involved with the porn isnt going to agree with this. but you had better wake up. it can distroy your marriage, and mess your own self up. you will get to the point like an additiction to drugs you go deeper into sexual voyurizim and usage things you thought you’d never normally do. it pulls you away from your spouce, and its all about self gratification , it causes you to cheat, lie, everyone envolved hurts by the ususage of porn. some way some how. children molested, women raped and some even murdered over it. think about it very seriusly! something has to stop it. Its sucking our young children into it. look at all the young children missing. sexual addiction is on the rise. and something has to be done about it. It sure ruint my marriage. and himself. He cant please me the way it should be. and thinks I should just take care of his needs. and forget about myself. that’s self gradification. if a man doesnt want to take care of you sexually first, chance are you got a problem. no warmth in the home. no cuddling, nerver felt special to my husband. even on our honey moon. he was doing . now that’s pretty sad. they sneek hid lie. so women dont start out thinking oh its okay. its NOT! okay. get it stopped now. I had a sister that thought it was okay for husband to view it, she found out the hard way. It will take you places you really dont want to go. trust me.

Ok, I understand that it’s natural for a man to watch porn. But is it not natural for a woman to be jealous? Is it not natural for a women to hate the fact that her husband is getting his rocks off to a fantasy that doesn’t include her? Why then is it the woman who must change her natural tendency? Why must the women just “calm down” and ignore that her husband is doing this natural act? Who doesn’t love that excuse that boys will be boys, but girls have to learn when to sit down and shut up about it. The fact that we okay these acts and mark it off as boys will be boys only gives them more permission to hurt their spouse without it being their fault….how dare that wife be jealous of me just performing natural acts. God, no wonder divorce rates are on the raise….the idea that we can just do what we want with no consequences is not the way to make a marriage work.

If looking at porn together works then awesome, but if the other person is disguisted by porn or doesn’t want to get off to it, then maybe you should find another solution.

Ok, first of all, I am tired of reading all of the males who leave bullshit comments. I don’t know how many times I have heard a man give the whole “Males need variety, they need to look at other women.” That is such bullshit! You dont NEED to look at another naked woman, you do it because you are a pig who is just looking for some other excuse to get off. I am so disgusted at the way most men think. I mean, If you are in a happy relationship and are getting all you could ever want in bed, why would you still NEED to look at other womens bodies? I strongly feel that when my boyfriend thinks about someone else or looks at porn it is disrespectful to me, and it makes me feel worse about myself and my body. Like “am I not as pretty as her? My boobs arent big enough? I dont do that trick?” I think most women would agree to some point that you get a feeling inside the “i’m not good enough” feeling when you catch your man up to no good. It lowers our self confidence, so dont give any more “I need it” bs. That’s a load of crap.

All the women on here who thing that their men are sick because they look at porn…you are really the ones living in a fantasy.

Check out any Kinsey report, Masters and Johnson, etc…take the emotion out and look at facts and history. Hell, even look at animals- after all, we ARE animals.

Personally, I’d sure rather have my man looking at something online to relieve his primal desire for something than next door with the neighbor’s wife. If my guy is stressed and needs some sort of fantasy or release, i would certainly rather have him at home staring at his computer than out n a singles bar pretending to be single.

Men and women are different sexually. That is the way it is, that is the way it is supposed to be. Women equate sex with love, men don’t.

Porn sneaking destroyed my marriage of 35 years. It survived the loss of a child and early infidelity but, though I am still married and living with my husband my marriage is destroyed. I can never again have carefree, happy sex. I can never again believe what he says he feels. I can never again feel proud of his morals or character. This is too high a price to pay for cheap thrills and fantacy.

I really would not care if he looked at porn if he would be intimate with me more than twice a month for three minutes at a time. And im adventurous, im down with anything that dont involve another women. It drives me crazy when im in bed horney, and hes on the internet looking at porn. I think hes just lazy. After all, hes 240 pounds. Help me please! I need him. I dont want to cheat.And sex is the only thing we ever fuss about.-REALLY!

I have read the letters from the distraught ladies who love thier pornography loving men and it makes me feel sad for them. Ladies you are not only the fairer but the stronger sex, this has been known for quite some time. That’s why you beat your heads against a brick wall on this whole ‘Why is my husband jacking off to porn in the wee small hours?’ conumdrum .

I will let you in on a bit of unsaid thing about men and pornography. There is one word for the reason men look at pornography: Domination. Men are hard wired to try and dominate. Most of us are thick as pigshit but that hasn’t stopped us going out hunting, eating, fucking and fighting for as long as we could pick up a stick.

In our polically correct, hyper legislated, comfortable, sedentary modern lives the biggest challenge a man has is to hold onto his job, if he does that he’s seen as doing his duty to the family. Only truly great men rise to the top, which leaves a whole lot of the ordinary men with a hell of a lot of spare time wondering what to do with themsleves.
The concept of pushing a button to enter a world of nubile, sex crazed vixens with their come hither eyes kneeling in adulation before the cock (the one thing that even the biggest loser can claim to have in common with the greatest man) is a twang on a primitive cord many males cannot deny.

This is not a new phenomenom in the legend of the siren song fantasically beautiful women sat on an island and sang out to passing sailors who were enchanted by them and could not deny thier instincts to go and get a closer look and to perhaps go and ‘Dominate’ them only to smash thier ships to pieces upon the rocks. Poronography is todays siren song and some men can resist it’s call better than others. The men who smash thier lives on its rocks tend to suffer from low self esteem. They imagine the girls are exclusively there for them in a kingdom of sex where they are the absolute ruler and the word ‘no’ does not exist.
The fact that in reality this is existence is impossible both physically and practically, i.e. Who’s going to do the monotonous grind stuff like pay the bills, pick up the kids, empty out the washing machine is not important. It’s simply that for those few stolen minutes leading up to that magical second the woman/women is there specifically for his pleasure, that feels like control or domination and that feels good to a man, especially if they are not large parts of his every day life.
Conversly it’s been documented that very successful, powerful men like to be sexually dominated because its a reversal of roles from their daily existence.

In conclusion it makes no sense, it can’t be fixed just find a good man who dosent pull himself off 24/7 to the detriment of his personal and profesional life and who won’t physically hurt you, the fairest creature of them all.

i need to know honestly if my choices are to let my man look at porn and be honest and open about it or to think he is not looking at porn because i dont like it,and really hes just hidding it from me. can men not be happy in their relationships with out outside visual (or other) stimulation?

May 28th, 2009 at 8:03 am

Wow. That is absolutely THE BEST explanation on the porn question I have ever read.

I appreciated the insight but think that if more men read it and understood their own motivation fewer relationships would be sacrificed on the porn altar.

Good job.

I don’t have a problem with men watching porno. But when it starts affecting the relationship that’s when I have a problem.

My BF jerks off to porno more then him and I have sex.

And that’s a problem. My ex husband did the same thing. Jerked off every chance he got. My Bf now does that.

And maybe woman wouldn’t have such a problem with it if men would just be upfront and honest.
You go above and beyond to hide your porno and LIE to your woman and then when she finds out, It is Our fault.

I have dated several men and had been married before and everytime porn was discovered I got the blame: I am not affectionate enough. I am afriad you might get pregnant. I don’t like condoms so this is easier.

These are bullcarp excuses and i am going to go out on a ledge and say I am probably not the only woman who has ever been blamed for why their men watch porn.
yeah men might need variety but when was the last time your hot fantasy came to life and cooked you dinner or cleaned your house and took care of your children.

When you hide porn you are also lying and that’s why we woman get upset. We know that if you would lie about this you would lie about anything.

You are with your woman for a reason, probably because you were attracted to her and if youre married she is more then likely your dream girl. So yes when you go behind our backs and jerk off to whatever, it makes us feel like our bodies are not what you want.

Love your woman like you love your porn.

Your woman is going to run errands, grab her before she leaves and kiss her passionately and go get a quickie, woman who know thier men watch pron when they leave would be all for this if it meant you weren’t going to jerk off to something else while we are out doing things for you.

not wrong

June 3rd, 2009 at 12:03 pm

Sorry but no women is ever wrong about the way she feels. if your wife/girlfriend is hurt by you watching porn why would you continue to watch porn and hurt her? Selfishness! Men are different then women yes, but that doesn’t mean men should be give the right to watch porn when it hurts someone they love. I really dont care if single men watch porn. I dont care if men in a realtionship watch porn as long as their partner is okay with it! What is so hard to understand about that? if your partner is hurt and you really care about them then you would stop. No one should tell a women who is hurt by her boyfriend/husband’s porn watching to get over it cause all men do it. That is just stupid. I think men should have respect of their partners feelings and stop being so damn selfish!!!

I find this post interesting. However, you are not every man and I dislike how you’re preteding that you are. For your information there are men out there who do not look at porn & I would fully trust them with my children, they are moral beings. To be truthful, I wouldn’t trust anyone who did look at porn. If you bother to do some research you’ll see that porn leads to pedophilia smarty pants.

Variety is fine, looking is fine, my husband claims he doesn’t look, he’s probably trying to avoid an argument or maybe he feels like he doesn’t want to look else where. As far as your comment on “If you think your father doesn’t look at porn…” I didn’t appreciate that one very much, my grandfather never looked at porn, he was too in love with my grandma to do that. So please, do not speak on the world’s behalf, thanks.

All the blanket generalizations just make me laugh.
Most of you are idiots, and to the women who bitch about their men looking at porn, you are probably the reason he does. You are probably a whining, bitching shrew he doesn’t want to spend the time to please with sex, its easier to spend 5 minutes jerking off than 30 minutes trying to find the magical spot that makes you cum, and then the guilt and dirty looks he gets if you don’t have an orgasm.
If you think your man is using porn to escape you, he probably is and you need to look at yourself and figure out why, I promise, it’s not just cause ‘All men are pigs and cheaters’. You ladies, especially the most vocal anti-porn types need to look inward, as well as outward for your answers.

My GF and I both enjoy porn seperatly and together. Communicate with your partner, be honest, have an open mind and realize it isn’t ALL ABOUT YOU!

Oh yeah, and stop trying to control your partner, and learn to accept them for who they are.

To me it does seem like a bit of a double standard for men vs women. I am a fairly attractive woman and I love attention just like the next woman. So if my man is giving private time attention to these internet women, is it then OK for me to submit myself in such a way that other men can fantasize about me? I would prefer that my man show me how excited that I make him. But if it’s other women that sometimes feed his sexual appetite, then is it ok for me to enjoy the same attention from the opposite sex? I would not find it erotic in any way to just see a penis. However to see that a man is attracted to me is always a turn on.

It really hurts my feelings when my man jerks off to porn. Because of this I’ve been going to the gym and working out 5 days a week during lunch. It makes me feel inadequate and like I’m not good enough for him. But the weird thing is, that if I ask him if he’s done it, he will be honest and say yes he did. I try to satisfy him and even relegated myself to watching it with him, and let him fulfill his need in front of me while I participated on a daily basis. But he doesn’t lie about it and is completely honest that he did it. He told me that he does it in the morning for “release” from the pressure. He used to do this daily, and now he does this 2-3 times a month he tells me. He tells me he loves me so much, but to me, this is really degrading to a woman who does everything to fulfill her man.

I cook dinner for him, rub his back his feet, take care of his needs. I think all women need to talk to their man delicately.
I did this morning and I let him have it and told him that if he can’t satisfy me and he needs porn to do it, that I would need a real man to cater to my needs. I think woman need the real physical aspect and the closeness of lovemaking where men need the visual stimulation of sex and just sex. Basically when I told him that, he got really angry, and I said, well honey, if you want to look at those woman, then I’ll need a man to satisfy my needs, and I really man a real man and not something to watch. We’re going to counseling. This will ruin us if things don’t change.

If the porn aids rather than impedes your sex life, then it’s not a problem.

If the porn is used to satisfy his own sexual needs and is used in place of sex with you, it’s a big problem. This includes him only being interested in his personal satisfaction when he gets around to having sex with you.

And it isn’t going to change, because the basic problem is his selfishness, self-involvement, inability to maintain an intimate relationship and lack of concern for his partner. If you don’t mind being in that kind of a relationship, then by all means stick with it. If you want to be in a loving relationship where your man is concerned with your needs and your well-being, run like hell before you waste anymore time on the loser. You only have one life to live, why waste it on someone who has no concern or caring for your feelings? Fortunately there are a lot of men in this world who would love to be in a loving, trusting, mutually- satisfying relationship. Go find one. Maybe I will too.

I’m an actress, and I’ve done some films in my time. I know what it’s like to be infront of a camera and have to pretend I’m feeling something that I’m not. So I KNOW that those girls in the pornos are not only faking it, but are also probably very uncomfortable.

I remember my first onscreen kiss or a liquer commercial. It was disgusting; the other actor’s breath was horrendous, I was shorter then he so I had to stand balancing on a shakey applebox just so I could be seen in the frame, and the lighting was burning my retinas. Not to mention the fact that I only met the man a few minutes prior and he was a bit of a jerk. And yet I look at the footage and it looks like we’re this couple who are madly in love forever.

Take it from me; this prono stuff is all fake. Do you honestly think that girl on the screen is going to tell the director “Stop the shot, this position is uncomfortable” or “His breath stinks!.”

No, she’s going to be professional about it and do the scene because lots of money is being wasted with every take and if she wants to pay her bills she’ll pretend she’s having the time of her life.

It’s all fake! So what’s the point of getting all excited about something that doesn’t even exist?

I get pissed at my BF who looks at porn but gets jealous at the thought of me doing a sex scene or a screen kiss. If I’m not supposed to get jealous that he’s LOOKING at the stuff, why should he get jealous if I’m MAKING it?

It’s all the same; fake fake fake.

Ok first time here looking for answers. I get that men look at porn, doesn’t even bother me when my boyfriend does. Again it is the secrecy behind it that tends to sting a bit but ok, I can handle that too. What is hard and a hit to the self esteem is when he will leave our bed knowing full well I would be willing at any time and go look at porn. WHen we are together, he doesn’t do oral on me, but loves it on him, he rarely touches me “down there” and is so quick to get it on. FOreplay is an alien thing to him. Yes I have tried to teach him, yes we watch porn sometimes together and talk about what we are seeing and what I would like. Yes we have watched programs dealing with how to be sexually satisfied. We are able to openly talk, but why is it he doesn’t want to do the things to me that he so enjoys watching other couples on porn do? It is a huge hit to the self esteem and I know he loves me but what does one do?

I told my bf when we first started dating before we got serious that I dont want to be with a man that looks at porn mags. So if he wanted to do that then he should fined someone who doesnt mind. He said he was fine with not looking at porn. Things were good for about 3 years. Then i found porn in his car.

I was very upset that he lied to me because i had let him know right of the bat that i was not ok with it. Now im wondering if i was being fair to him. I dont want him to look at porn, but where should i draw the line.

we have a wonderful relationship otherwise and our sex life is great. so should i mind if otherwise we are happy or am i being unfair?

I am a beautiful woman who has suffered from low self image due to always feeling inadequate. When I am in the beginning of a relationship where the man is completely in to me I feel great about my body and my sexuality, soon as I discover he looks at porn It all changes. I become insecure as f#$%! It destroys the relationship! Guys just down understand how hurtfull it is to most woman. Its , however, a losing battle! I have decided to give them a taste of how it feels. Hows it gonna feel when I need to get turned on and maturbate to young, buff, exotic men with large c$%# Women need to start having their cake and eating it too!! Start with Playgirl….nice hotties there ladies and make sure your man gets a good dose!

I THINK THAT WHEN ANYONE LOOK AT PORN ON COMPUTERS OR, RENTING A VIDEO IS GOT TO BE SICK IN THE HEAD AND MIND. THEIR SHOULD NEVER BE AN EXCUSE FOR SOMEONE WANTING TO LOOK AT PORN ON COMPUTERS, VIDEO, MAGAZINE. IT WOULD LEAD UP, TO EITHER ONE, OR THE OTHER WOULD GO AND START FOOLING AROUND. ESPECIALLY WHEN, YOU HAVE A HUSBAND WHO IS NOT HONEST WITH THE SPOUSE. AND FINDS ALL KINDS OF EXCUSE FOR WHY HE DOES THINGS AND HIDES THE SMALLEST THINGS IN THE MARRIAGE. PLAIN OLD BULL JUST SO THEY CAN GET THE GUN OFF, EVEN MORE SICK.

ok I only reviewed a few posts but I have to say, none of them made me feel better. guys look at porn to keep from cheating is what I pretty much got out of this. That is sh*t. To whomever said women start masurbating and create your own fantasies obviously don’t know women very much. When your in a relationship and you masturbate, as a woman, I know that when I do I think of the man I am with, not some guy I seen in a magazine or on the internet or at the coffee shop. Why can’t a man have a fantasy about the woman that he is with instead of the overrated bleach blonde bimbos that are in the magazines? why stay up till 4 am jerking it to the pics on the internet when u can just as easily go into the bedroom and wake up your wife and make her night too? I don’t understand it. I think it is disgusting and it really really makes me mad. guys look at porn because they get something out of it that they are missing in there bedroom. I mean come on, if we started masturbating to pics of some guy with a 10 inch package instead of having sex with you guys, you would start to think, Hmmm…maybe my package is too small for her? well when u guys whack it to pics of other girls who are skinnier, prettier and can bend into unimaginable positions compared to us then what do you think we get out of it???

I understand about the fantasies men have because when I’m making love to my new husband, I fantasize a man who is much better endowed and it works great. The good thing about it is that I can pick any man on TV and (in fantasy) make love to him and my husband never knows!

As a man when I have found myself in relationships I only occasionally looked at porn when I was masturbating because my girl friend was not available and guys sometimes need visual stimulation. If my girl friend was around and not horny I’d prefer to masturbate to her naked or have her help out. I tried watching porn with girlfriends a couple times and I ignore the porn or turn it off as it never compares to a real person you have an emotional connection to. I usually have a higher sex drive than my girlfriends and sometimes they can’t keep up, but I’d prefer to save my energy for them later and so only looked at porn occasionally.

Even so I often found that when I started off with some visual stimulation I ended up at some point soon fantasizing about them instead. I fantasized about them more often than I liked looking at porn too. Women need to understand many guys could have sex several times a day and lots of guys masturbate every single day or one to three days. It’s how their prostates work , making sperm and creating fluid, for the next encounter and clearing out old sperm before it gets weak and feeble men are designed to clear out the pipes regularly or they even get prostate infections and can’t concentrate or sleep.

That being said I have often found girl friends to be jealous of any time they knew I had masterbated or looked at porn asking if they were not enough for me.

Women are hypocrites about this. Every one of the women I dated who complained about porn jealousy had no problem actually sleeping with other men behind my back. It bothered them and made them insecure when once and a while (very rarely actually)I looked at porn while they were not around and available. They however, cheated , made booty calls , had cyber sex on-line, were flirting left and right with actual guys and even looked at porn themselves but only before or during having sex with another man. Some of them it turns out had made porn themselves with ex boy friends as well and had no trouble showing off. They could be on an episode of girls gone wild but if they caught you watching that they would be livid. Hypocrites.

These women said they never fantasized or masturbated. Guess why , because while they don’t have the same biological frequency to ejaculate as a man they did have sex and emotional affairs with other men from time to time and thought it was only their right as a women and none of their loving partners business of course.

Women don’t masturbate because they can and do have sex with men when ever they feel like it. I fact they get hit on several time a day and if they want it they go out to a party or bar and just stop saying no to the flood of men that attempt to have sex with them. If they are not all that attractive it dose not matter they will just be approached by less attractive , popular or wealthy men.

As being used to such they complain when their husband is not satisfying them that they have no recourse as if masturbation was beneath them and women only settle for actual sex.

Women claim to not be able to separate sex and love but this is false. They can and do just have sex to feel better about them selves ,with another man for revenge because you argued, after a break up even a temporary one while you’re thinking about them they are doing some random guy to try and feel better, or because they are horny or bored, or want to try a new penis , liked a guys car, thought he was popular , interesting , powerful the list goes on and on.

These same women who hated me looking at nude women on the internet I found were having dirty cyber chats online with strangers, had then met and screwed some of them , or had images of naked guys on their laptops whom they actually knew and had been chatting with or screwed , or had claimed as “friends”. They had screwed co-workers , friends, ex’s , strangers , and acquaintances. They Kept old dirty chats and e-mails from ex’s or current lovers but god forbid once and a while you looked at a picture of another women you didn’t know and had no desired to actually ever meet.

These girls will call to tell you they love you and a strange guy is secretly unbuttoning their pants and laughing at you, and will have drunken threesomes without you’re knowledge (they would never dream of sharing you with another girl because they love you to much but will go off and screw a friend and her boyfriend for fun) but you better not be looking at porn.

I have to say if I have a decent women I have very little desire to look at porn except occasionally to aid me in relieving myself when they are not available. Most women are hypocrites though and jealous because they view your desire in them as a way to manipulate you and see looking at other women as a threat to their power over you.

Men are not all dogs and many women often use sex as a manipulator and a commodity and so fear loosing a mans attention to anothers charms. Many women no problem separating sex and love and use it for all manner of purpose yet the myth of the shallow sex driven male and the emotionally and sexually noble female persists. The reality is that many women deceive to conform to a social taboo that they are pure and noble sexually , while lots of men lie to live up to the expectation that they should be experienced and will pretend to behave just the opposite of being chaste (no matter what they really do or believe) until they meet the right women.

Men look at porn and fantasize about the body parts of other women. Women cheat and actually have affairs with other men because they want the whole package. Looking at some guys chest or groin in a photo doesn’t do it for most of them. They need to have an emotional affair (not to be confused with love or real intimacy) and so they assume when a guy is jerking off to a photo of T&A that they are fantasizing about emotional affairs with another person. Not so.

The last thing as to the women who don’t get sex while their guy is jerking off to porn. I don’t understand why a guy would do that often unless;

A. You’ve alienated him sexually or he is not emotionally in the mood to be intimate with you. Women when something is broken in the relationship stop having intimate sex with their partner , men do this too but they still jerk off (this is a biological function) and often rely on visual stimulation to aid them.

B. Internet porn dose make money by getting some men very addicted. It seizes on their weakness when feeling lonely, rejected, frustrated or stressed out to create a powerful escape into pleasure that turns into addiction, tries to spiral them into ever more usage while trying to keep them hooked by gradually desensitizing them to ever more depraved images while they are already stimulated.

This is different form the occasional visual stimulus while masturbating just as having a few beers form time to time is different form alcoholism. It’s possible this could be the case. Geting angry at them , seeking to control their bodily functions is not the answer (“my husband had been masturbating with out my permission” one women here wrote. Dose he need your permission to pee as well or just to ejaculate ?)

If he is escaping into porn regularly for hours at a time and has developed an addiction though he needs help and understanding to change this behaviour and supplement this with more healthy areas of his life. Thinking it’s about disrespecting you is only being selfish and going to make it worse. If you view it as a personal affront to you then how can you help him deal with his problem of addiction ? You can’t.

Bottom line your guys looking porn and masturbating has nothing to do with you. If he’s not having sex with you that’s an issue. If he has an unhealthy excessive addiction that’s causing the neglect of other areas of his life and ability to function (including his desire to have a sex life with with you) that’s an issue.

If you think he is disrespecting , cheating , sining , making you feel betrayed and jealous or insecure you have to realize he is not wronging you and stop being selfish and making everything about you and you’re feelings. Once you do that you can deal with the real problem.

If the only problem is that you feel him masturbating or sometimes seeing other women nude in pictures offends you and makes him scum then he has no problem. You have a hang up , insecurity religious or socially instilled fallacy that doesn’t match reality and possibly a misunderstanding about the differences between men and women.

The porn is only the cause of the problem in the case of excess and addiction. Then this having become his main sexual outlet is a symptom of addiction. Otherwise it’s just a masturbation aid like a romance novel would be for you.

I have the worst case of trusting a man, and what you wrote Greg it answered my question for the most part. However I don’t think I can ever understand why.

Myself esteem is for shit, I never think I am beautiful and I am so jealous. The guy I am with is on the computer almost all day long and I know when I am at work and he’s fucking off all day two days a week he’s looking at sites that has porn everywhere you go. It drives me crazy makes me think of wanting to cheat on him to get him back. Ontop of that he’s always on his wifi on his phone and on it for hours.

I know his self esteem is lacking because he makes jack shit for money, but shouldn’t he get off his lazy ass and do something about it? His job is to work on computers all day so maybe being with an IT guy isn’t good for me since porn is part of their job. I don’t know, I think us woman should and deserve respect from the man she wastes her time with.

PLEASE someone answer my question!!! MAKE THAT BE A MALE answering my question..I really need a guys opinion.. Ok my man admits to porn..I kinda forced him to stop…(even though I see it on the computer every now and then) but now I see everyones different points and feel a TAD different about it…I just want this question clearly answered.. Why does a guy need to fantasize about other women..maybe even ugly girls when they are having sex almost everyday?? Does that mean you guys constantly fantasize about women on the streets you walk by or a women you may see?? I really am soo curious about this.. Does porn mean you may be bored or desire more then what I can offer??? I want to know…why you have to fantasize?? Isn’t that a form of wanting to cheat …just because you dont cheat doesn’t mean that you dont want too…EXPLAIN PLEASE!!!

Hi I am a 24 year old female in a 2 year relationship with a 22 year old male. When I was younger and in my first relationship I was against porn. Now that I’m a bit older I’m not as against porn. I think the girls in the porn industry are allowed to make their own career choices and hey if they are making money good for them as long as it’s safe.

There was never an issue about porn in our relationship till recently. He only had the family computer out in the open and not the best place for viewing porn. About a month ago he bought a laptop for us to use. I had a bad feeling he would look at porn. I found the website RedTube in the history clicked on it and saw Home of Free Porn. It made me feel like shit. I confronted him about it and he denied it. Then started telling me it’s because he can’t please me. But the fact is no guy has been able to give me an orgasm and I’m not mad at him for it. I told him I was not comfortable with it and it hurt my self esteem and made me feel like I needed to change myself to satisfy him. I’ll admit I’m a cute girl. My boobs aren’t that big but I think my body is well proprtioned since I am petite. I thought that would be the end of the porn since I asked him not to. Over the last few weeks I tried to have sex with him more and wear cute underwear and just make things more exciting.

Then last Friday I was getting ready to come to his house and have a nice night of getting Chilis-To-Go, rent a movie, cuddle, and then most likely have sex. When I came over he was laying in his bed in his boxers half asleep. We needed the computer to get the number to Chilis and he went outside and I was typing a website that started with an R and RedTube came up again. So I looked at the history for that day and he looked at 2 videos before I came over and more than likely have sex with him. I was pissed and stormed out to my car and then we talked for a minute and he acted like he didn’t get why I was mad. I said well lets go in and look at the computer. I showed him and he acted like he never looked at it. Then admitted it and said it was to last longer for me and since he can’t give me an orgasm it is easier to look at porn and not worry about pleasing the girls.

My feelings are really hurt. I do not feel good about myself and have started thinking what’s wrong with me. Do I need to tan, dye my hair blonde, and get implants to satisfy him? I shouldn’t have to change myself. I want my boyfriend to find me attractive and only want to have sex with me. Even though I don’t get orgasms from him I still like having sex and I would everyday. I’m a very sexual person. I use a vibrator with him and really love seeing how turned on he gets by me. So why does he need porn. I know I only caught him twice but I can’t have this be a normal thing. Needless to say the computer is now just mine. I would love to make some friends on here and get advice.

well ladies first of all ill let yall in on alil bit of understanding about why men jack off.for one it feels real good and sometimes better than when their partner does it over and over again.we know how we liked to be stroked and how we want it done at that moment which varies all the time for us and we dont want to have to go through telling our partner do it this way now do it that way.so we can get it over alot quicker and move on to our evryday lives like always.Its kinda like when yall women buy all these fucking toys to stick in yourself you do it cause it feels good and you know the spot alot better because its youre body and youve done it before.But when youre doing that do you always fantasize about youre mate…i doubt it.women masturbate just as men do ,and theres alot of fucking women who love porn.And also women arent no fucking better than men.Most of the time the women is the one that actually fulfills her desires by cheating while the man is at home jacking off.Big fucking deal,as long as youre the one hes laying down with each night and breaking his back to support you or whatever the case is ,meaning some women support the man.PLus you women wonder why men are so visuly stimulated by shit like porn ,hell look in public how women dress nowadays and hold theirselves,theres always women in short shorts,fake tits to make us want yall.all that shit is usually for the man to see and it comes back to why our dicks stay hard and we watch porn also.So also i guess if men are dogs women are too just alittle bit more discreet and sneakier about when and how she sticks that big vibrator in her pussy.Well im gonna leave this alone but the bottom line is yea men like porn and we jack the fuck out of our dicks but we are not and i mean not thinking about being with that person in a relationship its just a way to get it alil quicker off.We love our spouse and want our spouse to be happy but just remember its all a fantasy just like yall fantasize and its no foul play if its left at that.SO PLEASE LET YOUR MAN JACK OFF>AND DONT WORRY LADIES ITS ONLY OUR NATURE NOT OUR REALITY.

I find it soooo funny that “men” act like it’s their “nature” 2 be a horny unfaithful or porn watching person when they are in a “commited”relationship.When the fact is women have more than double the feeling(nerves) in our pussy then men do in their dick.and if man were to see his woman thinking about sum other man and his dick and getting off 2 him i think he’d feel double standard.

My man says he isnt into porn that much. First he was saying that he actually never watches porn but i saw short porns in his computer. I dont mind my man watching porn, i watch porn too but that doesnt mean that im not satisfied with my man. I love him and i love having sex with him. But the thing that bothering is that there were only tit fucking porn scenes on his computer. He loves big tits and guess what? I dont have big tits. Im petite and my tits arent big…especially for someone like him. So seeing that porn scenes really made me insecure about myself because of that. And because of the fact that his ex girlfriend who he dated for five years had huge tits, i felt worst. Now i always think that im not good enough for him and he can cheat on me for a girl who has big tits. Im happy with the way i am but i feel like he isnt that happy.

I am in a wonderful relationship and we live together. He is younger than me and hasn’t married. I have been married once. When I found the porn pics in the history on our computer, I was hurt and a bit sickened. However, I came to this site and read some of the comments. I stopped thinking like a woman and collected other research regarding men and porn. I know from my brother and other men I know that naturally men are less emotionally tied with sex than women and they like to browse porn. Can’t say I like it, but then I thought about all the collection of books I read. Yes, though there are no pictures, they are most definately porn!! They are only suitable for adult reading. I thought about how when I see a well built nice looking man on the street, on TV, I get that turned on feeling. Doesn’t mean I don’t love my man, nor does it mean I am going to jump into bed with them, just means I am not dead. So, I was able to come to terms with it. And, I did as another commentor on this site suggested. I pulled up some porn for women sites. No, I was not interested in masterbating to them (I honestly do think of my man when I masterbate), but I did that to just leave them in the history file for my man to find. He came home after work, pulled up the history for that day and commented, “What the Hell is this!” I walked over asked what he was talking about even though I already knew. I told him that was in answer to the pics he was looking at the day before. He didn’t like it at all. He asked why I would want to look at that and I told him for the same reason he enjoys looking. He didn’t really like the thought of me looking at that. He said, “You know that all those men are probably gay”. I told him that I wasn’t really interested in looking at that, I just thought I would let him know how it felt to me. He smiled and said, “Touche’”. I told him I really don’t mind him looking every once in while as long as it doesn’t interfere with our sex life. I even told him every once in a while if he asks I might look at it with him. That discussion has actually improved an already wonderful relationship. As a matter of fact we had some of the best sex we have had that night. We as women like to say we don’t get turned on by porn that we only are turned on by our SO, we are lying to ourselves. Anyone that is that obsessed is scary. And trust me, the guy I dated before was one of those. You don’t want someone who NEEDS you and wants to spend every waking hour with you, you want someone who wants you. If my man is looking at a picture of some girl he will never meet and getting off every once in a while, it is alot less hurtful than he getting his variety fix from a neighbor or someone he works with! Would I prefer he not look at all, of course! In my fantasy I am the only women he finds attractive. And yes, I know that is a fantasy.

um wtf

September 26th, 2009 at 5:15 pm

All righty then, I dont know how I stumbled on this sight, but I figured what the hell Ill post, as for all of the people that say, all men look at porn and only very few men dont and all men masturbate while looking at porn is bull, all perverts with crazy sexual fantasies and absolutely no sense of comitment look at porn. if you love your wife/girlfriend, show love to her by not stabbing her in the back, prentending to have sexual fantasies with other women whether you will meet them in the future or not. but whatever, the porn industry is the second most profitable business in america and 87% of the websites are porn sights, its not that hard to figure out just do some research. god. whatever. none of you care anyway…

September 29th, 2009 at 9:17 pm

ok .. so, i’ve been in my relationship with the same guy for 6 years. I have always had a very high sex drive, and when we first got together so did he. All it took was him getting in bed with me and he was turned on… Well, this year I’ve noticed that our sex life has been (well honestly, there’s not much of one)… However i did manage to end up pregnant. (Due in December)… I have confronted him about our sex life and why he doesn’t seem into it anymore and he has never really given me an actual answer>>… We had been house sitting for his brother the past month (we don’t have a computer at home) and he said the reason he didn’t want to have sex over there is because he just didn’t feel right. Well, then i noticed he really didn’t want to have it on the nights we stayed at our house either. About a week ago he couldn’t sleep and i suggested he go in their living room and watch tv and see if he was more comfortable in there. I just figured the bed was uncomfortable at his brother’s. I layed there for about 15 minutes and was going to go check on him and see if there was anything i could do, and when i came out of the bedroom there he was looking at porn. I BLEW UP!! It hurt me in SO MANY ways… I felt betrayed, unloved, like I couldn’t make him happy… I almost left him. That has been a week ago and I still am having a HARD time getting over it. But, I think that it wasn’t really the fact he was looking at it… It was WHY WOULD HE CHOOSE IT OVER ME?? Like I said I have always had a HIGH sex drive, and i’ve been more than willing to try anything… Although i’m the one who initiates sex… He doesn’t even initiate it anymore. I have tried to be open with him, and tell him that if porn turns him on then we’ll get some and bring it in the bedroom… But he just tells me no, and that he was JUST LOOKING at it. WTF am i suppse to do?? I’ve asked him does he not want to have sex because i’m pregnant, and he says “No.. you act like i DON’T want to have sex with you”.. but that’s kind of what it feels like. When I’m the ONLY one who initiates it anytime we do have sex, and sometimes (a lot of the time) he’ll just brush me off and go to sleep. I understand that guys need visual stimulation and all but you’re gonna tell me if a regualr guy has a naked woman in bed with him rubbing on him, and especially one that loves giving oral sex to please her man, that he would rather not have sex and look at porn because he can’t SEE her?? really? Because that’s what it felt like to me> I love my b/f and still love him even though we’re obviously having some issues, but i am on the fence with this issue… I don’t know whether to fall right or left. Either i stay with him and PRAY things change, or i leave him and try out being a single parent, and put my child through something a child shouldn’t have to go through. I don’t know… I’ve been researching this issue for the whole week trying to figure out if it’s normal, or if there could be underlying issues, if it’s me, or if it’s because i’m pregnant… and I still haven’t came up with NOT ONE GOOD ENOUGH ANSWER> I’m still stuck>

Please! You love your girlfriend? That’s just an excuse to virtually cheat. Some of you men are dogs and I don’t see how women can allow their “men” to get them brainwashed into thinking it’s okay. It’s not because if you love someone you love ONLY them but than again you aren’t married. Your gf ISN’T okay with it the reason why she gets upset is because those women don’t resemble her and she feels that the ones she is okay with do so you fantasize about her. But you are a sick dog to demean your woman like that it’s demeaning. I bet you fantasize about woman you see in the restaurants how’s that any different once your porn addiction gets to you you will probably act out. Porn contributes to RAPE. Woman are objectified and treated as sex objects if you TRULY love your gf why do you keep doing something she is uncomfortable with? Your a selfish dog plain and simple. Guys like you don’t deserve a real life human breathing beautiful woman. Go ahead and fantasize because one day it will mess up your life. All you men should be put on a deserted island with eachother and maybe you can have a gay orgy and you woman that choose to believe your man’s brainwashing is ok. I feel sorry for you. Girl’s there ARE men out there against porn and btw I forgot to mention go ahead and keep disgracing your woman because one of these days while you are getting off she’ll be finding herself a REAL man.

What would most of you guys who think it’s ok feel if you were searching for porn and a video of your girlfriend came up? Not so much about seeing it yourself but the idea that other guys were looking at your naked girlfriend?

LOL!!! I have threatened to put a video on the internet of me masturbating to my husband because I am so fucking sick of him looking at porn. He says its because hes horny but its funny i sucked his dick and did his little fantasies and then the very next day hes looking at nasty sluts on the internet. I look at porn too but for me the problem lies on the fact that he doesnt want to look at porn with me he likes to do it behind my back. He obviously lies about the reasoning too because he says he only does it when im not available but if i go to the store he will run and get on the computer and look at porn WTF!!! he didnt ask me to have sex or anything he just waited for me to leave and then his drive kicked in to look at porn. My feelings are if he craves to look and fantasize about fucking other women that much then he will obviously cheat on me. I have asked him if he wouldnt look at porn anymore and he lied and said ok but still does. It is hard for me to accept something that he wants to not include me in.

Yes i am convinced all men are pigs and i hate thier vulger, selfish a***s. I do not see why they cannot understand, why we would be hurt. It robs us of OUR joy of being a women, thier woman. It is our really only selfish trait. WE give and give to our families and our joyin life is to turn our man with one look at our imperfect flawed bodies.

I would like to ask you men how you would feel about porn if your partner was watching people being, hurt, tortured, and degraded. Then one day they acted that way to you. Raped you anally while your bady spasmed with pain and you were crying for them to stop. And they say i am about to cum. Your ass hurts for days. Or how would you feel after giving birth to your child your vagina forever changed, you tits hang, and you now look 5 months pregnant with a flabby soft stomach.YOU went through pain and he is watching beautiful 20 yr old women and lots of them.
My boyfriend was in bed with me and said look how much i am turned on by you, he had an erection. I told him it did not mean anything to me because any women gives him an erection. He hugged me and said your the only one i want to be with. Well he is always giving unclear sound nice answers. He did not say YOURE THE ONLY ONE I WANT TO LOOK AT, AND HAVE AN ORGASM WITH.

I asked when was the last time he looked at porn. He said he can’t remember. Nice to forget, wish i could, funny i remember it was probably 2 days ago or possibly that night, since he went home for 6 hrs. He will not or has not moved in with me after 2 1/2 yrs and a 5 month baby. I know it is because of his porn use. Because he is always saying it won’t be a problem for him once he moves in, well that must be why, he does not want to give it up.

I know he is a sex addict/. We have a great sex life other than his porn , and when his ” fantasy life “has spilled over into reality. I am very hyper sexual, and 30, i am experimental, and would love to have sex more often then him, or most men. I have had many many relationships and have never had to deal with this issue or any issue so crushing. I honestly hate him for it. It changes a big part of how i feel twords him. Trust is very important. He is losing much by deciding to do this. He tells me he wants to stop, but can i trust it? From what i have heard they all lie about it. And a mans perspective saying i will stop means i will just never get caught.caught.

I do not know what to do next. I have flipped out, told him how i feel(which all men hate, go figure, guess we are not entitled to feel when someone breaks us). Told him if he continues to do this we will have a unfullfilling relationship and i will create my own secret sex life. I don’t know what that would be. And it does hurt because i always think of him everytime i masturbate, why can’t he do the same. Ieven took pics and videos of me so he could mastirbate. It hurts me that he would rather view other women and my pics are thrown to the end of the pile. I will not let him do that anymore if he still will look at porn. I guess i am not a fantasy so it does not work. But i want to be his fantasy, so i am unfullfilled.

I can’t look at big dicks cause he told me it would not bother him. He would probably just like the fact i was trying to get turned on.Maybe internet meeting sites, but i am not sure retaliation would work.I am different than him and do not like hurting others. I think he needs love and forgiveness, but how long and at this expense i am unsure if i can do that. My fear is for him to keep this up and to catch him over and over, or never catch him and feel unloved and uncherished. I have 4 boys to raise and do not want them to turn out like this. I do not want that kind of influence on them. I do believe not all men are like this and men can choose to look the other way, what about f***ing self control! So men call women that flaunt and tease and sleep around whores well then they should own up to being called whorish pigs when they jack off to any woman they know nothing about, while thier girlfriends feel used, unattractive, and betrayed.

I do not know what to do. I cannot live this way. If he does not change(how can he he gets all the fun, no reason for him to stop) I will leave. I need to somehow get my life more independent. Part of me wants to leave this for him to read. He will not even discuss the issue with me, says he has already to;ld me everything, well his answers do not make sense. They are elusive and vague. He is controlling this issue by refusing to let me ta;lk to him. I have no way to deal and no answers. I feel he does not care. He just wants a fake robot.

Like most of the women that have posted, I have a high sex drive. So when I catch my guy in the act of jerking off to porn; I feel distressed, anguished, wish it was me and not some random girl he was getting off to. Then when making love you may feel as I have that you are competing in sexual performance with the women he’s been drooling over.

A few of you had me giggle with the idea of blatantly looking at other guys packages so he’d get an idea. I’d have to do like he does though. He says he only watches porn when he’s bored and I’m busy to get a quick fix. Since he doesn’t want to bother me with it.
I’m glad that he’s sweet enough to come to me when I’ve ran off to cry because it hurts.
He’s told me to look at porn too and get off like that, but I want to have sex with him in all forms. To work together to find ultimate love making. I’m thinking about when he gets home from work dressing in a sex outfit and playing a vibrator on myself. Make up a scene for him and say “you could watch or join in.”
Perhaps the best way to keep a guy is by teasing them, pleasing them and yourself, and plotting scenarios to keep it interesting. ;)

Ok seriously I struggle to understand why women so readily jump to the statement “all men are dogs”… Come on women! Give them some more credit than that!

I may be young, much younger than all of you women who discredit men the way that you do, but I must admit it seems I have more maturity than you do.

I am dating a guy who looks at pornography often, and I mean practically everyday. And I am completely fine with it! What’s the harm in it? We do not live together, so I cannot satisfy him sexually all the time. But when he is turned on what is he meant to do? We are 100% open about his viewing of pornography; going so far as to have our own shared porn library. He has told me that 50% of the time that he masturbates, he does not even need to look at the pornography, he simply thinks and fantasizes about me. And I believe him. Why? Because I have shown him that I am open about everything and that there is no reason he needs to hide anything from me either. I am not going to be angry with him when he simply looks at pornography.

There is another side to pornography however that I can understand a woman’s’ unrest over. And that is when a man chooses that experience over a real experience with their partner. That is where the porn has become the primary focus (this can be due to the man enjoying being able to create any fantasy he wishes, or many other reasons).

But how much would this happen if women were more open to porn, and maybe if they indulged in more of their mens sexual fantasies? Why not let your man describe his fantasy, then give it a try, and if you don’t like it, he must respect you enough to not ask you to do it again, but then don’t blame him if he goes back to looking at pornography to satisfy that fantasy!

My boyfriend has an insanely powerful fantasy about having a threesome with two girls. As most men do I am sure. He told me embarrassingly about this fetish, and as opposed to getting angry at him for wanting it or for telling me, I told him that we can try it. I am confident enough in our relationship to know that he is not going to want to be with that other woman as soon as the threesome is over; she will merely be a tool in a sexual fantasy that I myself am curious about.

He has told me about this fantasy, and left the rest up to me. Out of utmost respect, he told me I can choose when it happens, with who, where etc. But in the meantime OF COURSE he is going to look at pornographic videos of women having orgies and threesomes etc, and that is perfectly fine!! I am not going to forbid him to fantasize about it until I am ready! The poor man!

Him looking at pornography is purely sexual and there is no emotion involved, and that is all that matters to me. As soon as him and I are together, the pornography falls away and all sexuality is between him and I. When there is no sexuality at all he makes his obsession over me very obvious.

So what all you women need to do; as opposed to dubbing all men “dogs” and shunning them for the rest of your life, find a man who SHOWS you that you are the only woman that MEANS anything in his life, and you’ll see that porn will mean NOTHING!

I dont know y i have such a problem with it. I didnt use to, really! I even offered the game up off what ever they do in the porn we will do too!!! but no he didnt want that. now after everything weve been through its other things that make me hate him watching it ( weve been together 7 years ) it hurts because he says he only does it when i dont give him any but the collection grows and grows and grows and hello ive been giving it to you. its assisting in destroying our relationship because all the freaky things i use to do i dont want to do anymore. He has looked at porn so much he has lost touch with how he use to attend to my body before sex, now its just let me get some. are you serious? And like the guys girlfriend above feels, i would like it if you would look at girls that look similar to me because in my mind your exactly what i want. not where every woman is the total opp of me – do you need all five of those / cant you just use one with multi racial girls or sum – like i said i tried in the beginning and he wasnt up for it so yeah now i have issues and insecurities and all that bull shit.

For the men who havent ruined their sex lives, some of us would be more into freaky shit if you guys could make sure you do more than kiss on a nipple – thats not the only place we want to be touched – try a back rub before you want to skeet in the face -

whytegirl–>

See now you’re one of the examples where I agreed that porn can be bad… It must NEVER interfere with real sexual intercourse between two partners… And look, I know 7 years is a long time, but if he’s relying on the porn, quite frankly I think that’s a big problem… It might have to do with the fact that you don’t do as much freaky stuff, but that doesn’t justify his actions… He doesn’t sound like he respects you enough… How in depth have you spoken to him about this? If you have told him that you are worried that he is choosing porn over real sex, and he still chooses the pornography, you have a problem…

I’m no expert on this but I just hope my opinion might help you feel better about this… If I were you I would sit him down and seriously talk about this with him… Tell him that you are perfectly fine with him watching pornography, but that you are not happy with him choosing that when he can be having sex with you, and that you need him to treat you the same way that he used to when you used to have sex… I don’t mean to say you must put him on a guilt trip, but you need to let him know that in return for you being ok with him looking at porn, he needs to do this for you..

Like I said I’m no expert but I just hope my opinion might help at least a little… 7 years is a long time and must have taken a lot of work up until this point, so don’t give up yet!

Reality

October 13th, 2009 at 2:53 pm

As a man, I find these comments very interesting.

To all the women who feel bad, feel sick, feel cheated on, feel unattractive because their man looks at porn: RELAX–IT ISN’T ABOUT YOU.

A few points that I believe 100%:

Humans, men & women, are ANIMALS first, human beings second. As animals, we have instinctive behavior, behavior that is hard-wired into our brains. Throw a baby underwater and it understands to hold its breath. Wiggle a small, dark, hairy object into someone’s field of vision and 100 times out of 100 they recoil, not necessarily because they’re surprised (they wouldn’t recoil if you tried the same thing with, say, a hard-boiled egg) but because the human brain has evolved to have an immediate aversion to such things because they might be poisonous insects or disease-carrying vermin.

Men are hard-wired to respond to the visual stimulation provided by a woman. Not because they are pigs, or dogs, or perverts, or sickos, but because they are MEN. That is a FACT. That is part of what makes a MAN a MAN. Studies have proven time and again that men’s brains respond differently to visual stimulation than do woman’s brains.

It is natural for men to look at women—all women—and to appreciate the sexuality of women. They do it not because they are not satisfied, not because they are not attracted to their own woman, not because they secretly want to cheat, but because that is what they are hard-wired to do. If a man is in public and a pretty woman walks by he quite literally will NOT look at her ONLY if he (1) somehow doesn’t happen to see her or (2) consciously suppresses the desire to look at her, which only happens if he is with someone who gets upset if she notices him noticing another woman.

MEN’S BRAINS LIKE TO LOOK AT WOMEN. It’s not that men “want” to look at women, or men are pigs so they look at women, but BECAUSE THEY ARE MEN THEY LOOK AT WOMEN.

It’s amazing that so many women on here seem to acknowledge that pretty much every man seems to want to look at porn, yet they can’t make the leap to the fundamental fact that it’s part of what makes a man a man, like his penis. It’s as if all these commenters were saying “It’s so sick! He opens his pants and he has this gross PENIS in there! Why does he have to have that! What a pig!”

And the reason why men “lie” and “hide it” is because their women get so upset by it. The commenters saying that well, men are just selfish and if they cared about our feelings they would stop it, well, no that just isn’t true. You are asking men to suppress part of their fundamental nature, and I guarantee you that many men mean it when they say they won’t do it but it is not easy to suppress something that is part of who you are. It’s like a parent telling their gay son or daughter that if they really love them, they would just be straight—it just isn’t that easy.

Men’s brains are hard-wired to notice women, because evolutionarily speaking we can have the greatest success by impregnating as many women as possible. Of course, that’s not acceptable in polite modern society, and we have “evolved” into a culture in which such behavior wouldn’t work for the majority—male and female—of the parties involved, nor would the majority have any desire for it to work. But the evolutionary “urge to merge”, while sublimated, finds a safer, more practical outlet with masturbation, and its handmaiden, porn. If, for instance, men’s brains primarily craved scents instead of images, “porn” would consist of vials of pheromones that men would inhale while jerking off, and their significant others would be horrified to find their “secret chemistry stash.” But we’re visual, and porn exists because men’s brains crave it. It really is that simple. The key in a relationship is how to negotiate that fact.

All that said, porn does NOT have to tear a couple apart, and porn habits CAN be modified. I know because I have been affected by porn in two relationships, and I have found that only honest communication and healthy attitudes can bring real change, and ultimately, a closer relationship.

First, women MUST accept the reality of men’s brains, and resist the urge to attack men as pigs and sickos. Rather than say that all men are pigs maybe it would be more productive to broaden your understanding of what it means to be a man.

Secondly, a loving man MUST understand that his actions and behavior affect the ones he loves. A man should confront the porn issue with his partner and acknowledge his partners’ feelings, which are just as real and true as his need to look at women.

My marriage (now over) was dysfunctional on several levels, but one wedge was porn. But my wife quite literally got upset when she saw my eyes notice another woman—and I’m not talking leering, I’m talking a glance on the street—to the point where she would follow my eyes wherever I was looking, and she even began to accuse me of being gay if she thought I was looking at a man! It got to the point where I couldn’t look anywhere but at her or at the ground without her getting upset.

But what made her crazy was when she found I’d been looking at porn sites. She used all the words I’ve read in these comments: sick, pig, pervert, etc. I promised I wouldn’t anymore, but I did, and two more times she “caught me”. Although I knew my behavior was hurting her, I didn’t feel I was doing anything wrong. SHE had the problem. I went to a counselor, and he told me that we needed to talk about our relationship with porn, and I said, uh, I don’t think I can do that with her. I had been demonized, I was so defensive, I felt the only way to deal with it was to promise her I wouldn’t do it and try my hardest.

But especially nowadays, it is so easy to access porn. Legitimate web site with no sexual content will have ads with “sexy women” and eventually, being constantly reminded of what was just a click away, I would give in. (There’s a reason so much advertising, so many TV shows, etc., seem to feature attractive women: because men will ALWAYS look at women.)

The most shocking, most devastating day of my life was when my wife left me. There were a number of reasons (as many on “her side” as on “my side”) but porn was a big one. I still love her to this day, and to know that one reason I lost her was porn makes me sick. But it didn’t have to be that way. Many women understand men, and know that looking at porn is a response to a natural inclination. If my wife had understood that, we may have been able to work through our other issues.

But the reality is that many decent, loving women do NOT understand that. My current girlfriend, a wonderful, loving woman, shares the same attitude as many of the commenters here. She is threatened by porn and doesn’t understand why I might “rather look at porn than be with her.” We have honest conversations about porn—I told her about the problem with my ex—and we both understand the others’ attitude. The difference for me, this time, is that I don’t look at porn anymore. Not because I don’t want to—if she didn’t care, I WOULD look at porn—but because I don’t want the same thing to happen to this relationship that happened with the last one.

But I am not being true to my nature, I am suppressing myself, and ultimately I think that is wrong. I have zero desire to cheat—I am 46 and have never cheated while in a committed relationship. How I “deal with” not looking at porn is that I appreciate as fully as possible the beauty that is all around me. Like most men, I appreciate so much about so many women. I love the woman in my life—that’s why I’m with her! But it is unrealistic, and unnatural, to expect a man not to appreciate the sexuality of other women. For me, on the street, on the train, in a restaurant, practically anywhere, I can appreciate the natural beauty all around me. Early 20s, 50s, 60s, skinny, chubby, black, white, brown, I don’t care, I love women. I don’t want to fuck them all, I just think they’re beautiful. If one of them was walking naked down the street for some reason, hell yeah, I’d look, and I’d get a hard-on. I’m a man. It’s crazy to think that a man can only be attracted to his significant other. It’s unrealistic, unnatural and unfair.

But I have heard my girlfriend, and she makes it clear to me how insecure–her words—porn makes her feel. Ultimately I think it’s her problem to fix, but in the meantime, I am going to support her and not look at porn. And I don’t. Porn is the fastest, easiest way to scratch the part of a man’s brain that craves that varied exposure to sexuality. But in its absence, a man can still be creative and respect the feelings of his woman, as misguided as they may be.

Of course, for many men, like with drugs or food or alcohol or video games, porn can become a barrier and a path to dysfunction. As with anything, moderation is the key.

What if a man is looking at photos on the internet, but he hasn’t made love to his wife for months? What about communicating in chat rooms, does that constitute cheating? I understand the need for a man to look, that doesn’t bother me, wouldn’t mind sharing it, but if he doesn’t want to share it, what does that mean?

Isabella

October 16th, 2009 at 9:44 am

Lynn–> I hate to be the one to say this, but I’m afraid it doesn’t sound too good… If he is chatting to women on the internet, then it’s not about physical attraction… Or does he speak to them sexually?

This is one of the situations where I said I can understand why some women would call men dogs. The thing I disagreed with was women who generalise and call all men dogs because they’ve had bad experiences, but I wasn’t trying to justify what some men do wrong…

Personally I disagree with what your husband is doing… I think you should have a long talk with him about it, tell him that it is wrong for him to speak to other women, but he can look at as much pornography as he wants!

If I were you, I would tell him that I was unhappy with what he was doing, and if he didn’t want to change it, or if he said he would change it and then not, I would end it. Sorry to say but it seems like his fantasies have replaced the real thing, which I just think is wrong. Find yourself a guy who fantasises about YOU, and only wants you as long as you’re available, only resorting to pornography when you’re not there to satisfy his needs.

The thing I don’t understand about women is why they think men are pigs and perverts if we watch porn or masturbate, but correct me if I’m wrong, every woman I know owns a personal masturbation device (vibrator) that she keeps in her panty drawer, I don’t own a device, and if any girl thought I did, she would assume I’m a weirdo. Imagine if your girlfriend found your pocket pussy, she would freak out, even though she has a “butterfly” under her mattress.

I agree with you fully… But not only that; women complain about men looking at pornography and getting turned on and masturbating, yet ALL women read romance novels and watch romantic movies…

So the way I see it, men look at porn and fantasise about those women…

Women look at romance novels and movies and fantasise about those men…

If anything it’s worse when women look at that stuff cos half the time they actually wish their boyfriends/husbands were like that, whereas (from what I’ve heard) men never wish that their partners were like the women that are in porn, they just use it as a means to reach that mindset (being turned on)…

Correct me if I’m wrong but women are just as bad as men… (Not that looking at porn is a bad thing, but you get what I mean!)

my girlfriend has found porn on my computer a few times now and she gets really really upset with me. she has a very poor self image and the porn makes it worse. she crys and asks why she isn’t good enough. it really really upsets her and i feel horrible making her cry and feel that way but i still look at it sometimes. i haven’t looked at it in a long time and the other day the thought of looking at it popped in my head and i acted on it not thinking about how it would make her feel. i tried to delete the evidence only to keep from fighting with her about it. i don’t want anyone else and she is very attractive…i just like to see others naked or having sex. it’s “arousing” to see people making their private parts not so private. i try to tell her that it has nothing to do with how i feel about her and that men are different but she says that’s bullshit. i love her with all my heart and i want to be with her forever but i think it may be over now. i’m going to talk to a counselor and see what they say. i’m affraid to even be real with her about it cause she makes me feel like a sick pervert.

I see you have analyzed all of your girlfriends “insecurities”. Good for you.

First of all; why is it your RIGHT as a male to look at other women, to masturbate to other REAL people. Just becouse they have been caught on tape, doesn’t change the fact that they are still real life human beings. What they are doing are very real. Where is the fantasy-aspect in all that? What if you were in the same room as them, forget the camera lens, doesn’t this qualify as cheating to you? Many women considers porn as cheating. I understand completely why your wife freaks out when you clearly isn’t even bothering to fantasies about her, but about other ethnicity, agegroups etc that has NOTHING in common with her. What signals does that send?

Secondly, I wonder how you would feel if the tables were turned. If not only your partner enjoyed and actively participated in looking at porn of other men. Even masturbating to it. Men that didn’t look like you at all. Maybe men who reminded her of ex-lovers. Would you still feel okay with these “innocent fantasies”? And now I’m not talking about her putting on a show for you. But herself locked in a room pleasuring herself to images of OTHER males. And what about cybersex? Phonesex? Same damn thing.

NO No. Someone up above says that men who do not “look” etc, should not be allowed around children.

The reason there is increase in children being the targets of sexual exploitation CAN be directly linked to the OVER-DONE and constant visual affects of women plastered everywhere.

As a man becomes obsessed with “looking” and getting stimulated he will inevitably become hooked which will require more and more stimulation to get an erection and more and more deviant forms to express this.

This is FACT.

This is why the children are now targeted by MEN. Many cannot any longer get stimulated by the images of women, because they are OVER DONE.

It is the men whom are employing pornography as tool to stimulation whom are the most danger to children. (not all….but this is where its orignating from).

ALL PORNOGRAPHY, those of males also, are disrespectful to humanity. Period.

Humanity thrived for eons without the derogatory depictions of females.

Pornography is a propaganda tool used to subvert human development, which btw human development does not require pornography.

Men that say all men that do not partake of pornography should be watched around children is total ignorant bull shit.

It is Men that indulge in their senses without intellectual insight that are most in need of watching.

Any man that would choose to ignore his female companions wishes in regards to pornography, is purely disrespectful

IT IS ALSO an illusion and ignorant falsehood that all men SOMEHOW NEED this. The message becomes that ALL MEN are somehow too stupid to figure out the natural flow between male/female.

Pornography along with the propaganda that brought us Feminism are the two industries that are subverting humanity from its natural evolutionary processes. Pornography IS SIMPLY a degradation of women. It is humiliating.

I remember in college two of my roommates hung naked males up. Men that had very large penis and erections. The men that came to our house, were rightfully embarrassed. You could see their humiliation. I made them take it down on threat of moving out. Not one male, and we had plenty visiting, were comfortable with it. It goes both ways, folks. Its disrespectful to men and women alike

We are and can be more than this. We need to start moving into evolving our species, not devolving into stimulating sensations.

Men watching porn is fine. Its what guys do. If you are a down to eartch, open to new things, you prob. would understand that, thats just what guys do. Hell, you might find it interesting to watch a little porn yourself. When it becomes to a point where you notice your man gets on all the time..meaning your web browsing history is full to the max everyday with porn sites, then yes talk to your man. If they love you, they “might” understand. Guys can go to strip clubs and enjoy it just by looking but honeslty if I was to go to a all nude strip club for women, I prob. wouldnt enjoy all that much. Yes naked guys look good but it I think guys look at naked women differently…thats just me so maybe im just weird. If your man is viewing live web cams then YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. I understand thats a guys “ultimate” porno b/c they can tell the women what to do and how to do it) but they have crossed the line with that one. Thats as live as it gets. You dont know if he is exchanging number with her. Once that happens then I think there is a problem. Most live webcams cost money so if your man is waisting money…who knows what else he could be spending it on. I could be wrong about all this..but I just know this from experience and yes it hurts.

I noticed there are alot of women leaving good men because of the porn. But does that mean the next guy is not going to be the same way, if all guys look at porn. and most hide it from what I have read so far. What is a girl suppose to do. There’s no where to turn. Except to be alone.

Whats a girl suppose to do If I leave this great guy I have becauses of the porn, which buy the way it is really hard to feel the same about him as I did before. I found out his porn mistress. And start dating someone else only to end up in the same boat all over again. Since all guys look at porn is my only option is to deal with it or be alone. The whole thing has caused me to loose respect for him and I dont have a lot of faith in what the future could hold for us. I want to understand I really love him alot I just don’t know what to do.

Not all guys look at porn. This is propaganda and I would bet some of these people posting such are agent provocateurs.

They are liars.

It is not some genetic marker that is making these people look. They look because of the mind controlling propaganda and brainwashing. Pornography plays on man’s natural instincts towards visual inspiration.

Pornography has NOTHING to do with feminine, btw. Once the stimulation wears off they either stop, which normally would happen as a man reaches a more mature and conscience awareness of LIFE. Or some move on to more and more hard core porn. It becomes an addiction….Because it operates on the brain as a drug would.

Read some of Henry Makow’s articles. He is a sane voice in a vile swamp.:

http://www.savethemales.ca/000535.html

It is obvious that this pornography is not free speech. Listen to what OTHER men say.

Then listen to how pornography, and this is from the medical journals and medical profession, works and actually changes the brain functioning causing addictions just like chemicals and drugs:

http://www.drjudithreisman.com/archives/2005/12/senate_subcommi.html

These guys telling you ALL men look are pulling your legs. What they are doing is justifying degradation of humanity.

There is a big difference in pornography and nudity. We see the tastefull art of the ancients in regards to female and male bodies alike.

from Henry Makow:

HARD CORE PORN: THE UNDEFINED HATE CRIME

If a pipe were spewing untreated sewage into our streets, we would stop it. But hard-core pornography does this on a psychic level on a much larger scale, and somehow we are helpless.

A swastika graphitti or the epithet “nigger” are considered “hate crimes” yet every day millions of men receive offensive email offers to extend their penises or watch 14-year-old Sue get sodomized. That is considered “free speech.”

Hard-core porn is anti human. It is hate. But anything that is prohibited assumes an undue importance. I’d rather curious males investigated and were disgusted and bored.

There is a difference between hard-core porn, which is tedious and sick, and tasteful female nudity, which can be a temporary substitute.

The key is to grow beyond it. The temporary substitute should not become a permanent one. It should not interfere with finding a mate.

Pornography makes us see women in purely sexual terms and obviously this affects how we treat them and how they respond to us.

Dr. Satinover emphasized that modern science debunks the dangerous illusion that pornography is merely “_expression in the trivial sense that a fall from the Empire State Building is a mere stumble–since it’s hitting the ground that’s fatal. Or, that cigarettes don’t cause cancer, it’s the burning smoke that’s the problem.”

Here is what I mean: Like cigarettes, that particular form of _expression we call pornography, unlike all other forms of _expression, is a delivery system that has a distinct and powerful effect upon the human brain and nervous system. Exactly like cigarettes, and unlike any other form of _expression, this effect is to cause a powerful addiction. Like any other addiction, the addiction is both to the delivery system itself–the pornography–and to the chemicals that the delivery system delivers. [Emphasis in original.]

It may seem surprising that, at this juncture, I should speak of “chemicals,” when one might be thinking instead of “sex.” But, in fact, modern science allows us to understand that the underlying nature of an addiction to pornography is chemically nearly identical to a heroin addiction: Only the delivery system is different, and the sequence of steps. That is why heroin addicts in particular give up sex and routinely compare their “rushes” to “orgasms.”

The pornography addict soon forgets about everything and everyone else in favor of an ever more elusive sexual jolt. He will eventually be able to find it only among other “junkies” like himself, and he will place at risk his career, his friends, his family. He will indulge his habit anywhere and everywhere, at any time. No one, no matter how highly placed, is immune. And like all other addicts, the pornography addict will lie to cover it up, heedless of risk or cost to himself or to others.

Dr. Layden included the anti-social effects of pornography consumption in her testimony:

Those who use pornography have also been shown to be more likely to engage in illegal behavior as well. Research indicates and my clinical experience supports that those who use pornography are more likely to go to prostitutes, engage in domestic violence, stranger rape, date rape and incest. These behaviors should not be surprising since pornographic videos containing all of these themes are readily available and the permission-giving beliefs of these pornographic videos reinforced by the orgasm say that all these behaviors are normal, acceptable, common and don’t hurt anyone.

When I read this, it only confirmed what I already knew. The value systems of the world have obviously died. I dare say that whoever said it is normal for a man to look at porn and those who do not, should’t babysit, has really, really been misinformed. Not to mention it is obvious his circle of friends has never extended far enought into the real world. Fact, is that porn watching, persistantly, is not always a means to find ‘more’ but in fact a means to find more self-worlth. Often, men feel more confident over the net than in real life. When a man, or anyone, is truly fulfilled in life, there is no need to seek anything else. fulfillment means mentally, not physically by the way. Addiction to porn is not about sex. No….all men do not look at porn. Not to mention, in the olden days, family values and respect of the family and women in general actually did exist, believe it or not. The majority of the world actually did have a spiritual balance. Now? None of this exists, overall. Unfortunately the women’s lib movement had a negative, backfiring effect on the world as did the hippy era. I was there, so I know the transition before, during and after. Furthermore nothing is left unseen or inaccessible in this day and age either. Remember please, that our children have just as much access as we do and are likely more capable at browsing our internet use history than we believe them to be. No friends…..men are not all pigs.

my husband looks at porn and I truly understand and it really doesnt bother me, but what does it that he will not have sex with me; I am not fat i am athletic with and average body, nice chest; sexy i must say for having two children!!! Should I be worried? Well lets Just say this I am worried things are not good at all…what is a lady to do?

OK, so if Men are so sexual then why won’t they have sex with their wife?? I’ve been with my husband for 7 years and I barely found out he’s been looking at porn way before we met eachother, but he’s been looking at it more often in the past 2 months, I have a very high sex drive and I would love to have sex everyday, But he doesn’t want it ever day, but yet he still jacks off like a day after we do it. I confront him about it and he just tells me i’m being immature and insecure. I mean i’m scared that this is going to hurt our relationship pretty soon. He can’t get happy when we have sex, only like 1 out of every 5 times we do it. I have a feeling that he can no longer get happy with me and he needs to look at porn to get off…..I get extremely depressed about this. I’m trying to understand and let it go. But curiosity just sucks……I hate it.

This is weird, I stumbled upon this web site while looking for porn.
Sarah hit the nail on the head, so read it again…

Porn is the target for anger, only because it’s easy to point at.
What’s really going on, isn’t even a “porn” issue if you’re willing to step back, breathe, and look at the whole picture.

The first thing women think is “Why doesn’t he just come to me for sex if he’s horny?”

Fact: Masturbation and Sex are on completely different scales.Sex, as everyone here knows, is an intimate act with another person. Masturbation is a private act with oneself. It is NOT your business nor is it something you have any right to control, ever. If someone is looking to “get off” by themselves, they are not interested in being intimate with another person. He’s not asking you to have sex with him, because he wants to have sex with himself. Wanting to masturbate is NOT wrong and in fact.. it is healthy.

Another possible question:
“How am I supposed to compare to these women/whores.”

Fact: Your sig other doesn’t WANT you to act/look like the women they view on the internet. If you DID act and look like most of the women that men tend to jack off to, they would not be with you for ANY length of time. You would be nothing but a fuck box. Men do not commit to, nor emotionally invest in fuck boxes.

–(Actually, fuck that, be the fantasy. I’m not saying lets engage in a double penetration, but watch some porn with me. Tell me you’d be comfortable trying something new. Hell, I’ll do the same, I want to be you’re fantasy also.

Question 3:
“Why does he look up “degrading” porn?”
If he’s looking at “fuckherfaceuntilshecries.com” it’s because every once in a while, he’d like to fantasies about fucking a girl’s face until she cries. All it is, is a fantasy. Does it mean he WANTS to do it to you, or in real life at all? No. A fantasy is just that, a fantasy. If you’re still confused, think about a fantasy about -anything- that you wouldn’t necessarily want to do in real life, and you’re on the right track.

– (LMAO)

Question 4:
“Why does he look at porn? I don’t do that, yuck!”
You may not look at visual porn and that’s fine and dandy. I bet you’ve read a romance novel or two in your life time. Do you know what that is? It’s basically porn for women. (Please attempt to deny this) Or how about a random fantasy of being saved by a muscled hunk of a man from a burning building with a long and savory kiss for the hero? Uhm, hello.. you just stepped into your fantasy land. Just because your method of fantasy doesn’t have the same medium as your significant other’s, doesn’t mean it’s any different.

Question 5:
“Why am I being neglected? I want sex!”
Fact: Unless you say verbally that you would like to have sex, he’s not going to know. Okay, I lied.. If you sit infront of him and start stripping and touching yourself, that’s a big enough hint that you want it. Anything else, he’s not getting the hint. Men cannot read your mind and you’d be surprised how terrifying your possible “no” can be.

“But I asked him for sex, he turned me down.. then jerked off to porn.”
AHHA! Now here we go, that “whole picture” deal I mentioned way in the beginning. It’s safe to say, the porn is NOT the problem. The problem is he doesn’t want to have sex with you, period. Cut the anxiety of the evil evil evil porn out of the picture and you have what? “I’m not being satified by my man.” Deal with THAT issue because THAT is THE issue. Tell him how you feel (not about the porn, -sigh-), about the lack of intimacy between the two of you. Who knows, maybe he doesn’t want to have sex because he’s stressed out and it’s just temporary, he doesn’t think he can please you properly and doesn’t know how to bring it up (there’s your chance to inform him), you might need to try something other than missionary (yay, fun!) etc etc. Slapping him with “i can’t believe you watch porn” will get you a stone wall.. and it should. Coming to him and actively seeking out how to make your sex life better (or exist again), now that’s your fix.
Disclaimer: I didn’t say he would stop looking at porn with this method. I am implying that when you find out what’s wrong with YOUR sex life and work on it together, YOU will be better satisfied

WOW! what a great comment couldn’t have stated it better myself.

Men WANT variety, that’s not the same as needing it.

Would a girl rather her boyfriend go to town watching porn or thinking of her friend? Come on, get real, as if he’s not doing both.

Would it bother you if your girlfriend was getting herself off to porn or thinking of your best friend? How about thinking of either or both while you’re on top of her?

December 15th, 2009 at 8:36 pm

I am so tired of hearing that it is normal for men to look at porn. That is such an excuse for hurting the women who really love them. It is so sad to see so many women being hurt by the same thing… and all men can do is say, “its’ normal, we all look”. That’s fine, if you all want to look, theIn don’t let us love you. Be up front and hones, let us make an informed decison as to whether we really want to be with you. I can say i would not have married my husband if i would have known he looked at porn. I think its disgusting, and what happened to the art of love. Why do men expect women to be everything they want, but when it comes to what we expect from our men, there is nothing there but empty promises. I, like quite a few of the others on here, would rather be alone than be in a relationship that causes me so much grief over something that should be illegal, or atleast not as easily accessible. It is absurd that i should have to hate my life because my man looks at other women on the internet… i am better than that, he can lie to someone else. My dogs make me happier. Thanks guys. You would think that you guys would wise up and realize how much this hurts us… stop telling us that we are crazy and that we should just let it be… obviously, we are not crazy, in fact, we all feel the same way. (minus one or two) You say you love us, yet you go on hurting us.

December 20th, 2009 at 7:40 pm

You will very much like, perhaps love, that you read this
Unfortunately the world is really only going to get worse, the reason why is because people don’t understand how bad it already is.
Pornography which is sex, however you look at it is something that is a taste and choosing desire, maybe the most hideous lust, maybe the largest desire human beings have to offer. That desire is enough to position some men to have love for one woman, which if good and in heart is infinite and unyielding, and yet extend their desire past this, this desire, love, that has always seemed incomprehensibly vast if evoked to most, and somehow to something finite and yielding to their creativity and imagining. It’s because their desires and incomprehensible love are not expanding and exponentially enthrivened rather they are expensed and satisfied, cooled and stayed by you, the people and conversations they choose to relate to, and how much they know and believe of the imaginary, paradoxical, and prodigious powers of love and choice. The connecting of love means to have a cake and unlike almost everything else in the world where you just make something, just play a game, or do something that in real reality is just insanity at best, you choose something absolutely crazy, the only reason cake’s are made–you eat it too. And then after eating all of it or however much you want, use the sugars to run in a park, write a new idea, act in a play–instead of playing a game learning what good it can be used for and how to get better at it–and choose whatever is in your will and desire. Figure out “All I (you) really want to do” (by bob dylan). Love is what gives choice. And choice is something that doesn’t make sense in the most macro or micro logic, but it does to the chooser. If “men are choosing porn” instead of you, choosing addiction over choice be much stronger than that, and all you have to do is choose, which just means being mysterious, creating, powerful while not at all controlling (secretively influential by just being yourself–very very strongly). If you’re not you’re weak or he wants to only accept sexuality as a game or he is addicted or you only want to play or have your control over his will and eat it too, you are not being individual or you are not inspired then choice (if you can reach that level of individuality) won’t make anything. Porn shouldn’t be illegal and saying it should sounds like a nazi, porn just shouldn’t have one bit of business because there are so many other exciting things that children can think up. The problem is that children are eventually taught to grow down in imagining and graceful learning and are also taught proper, pointless, and pretentious things which they realize are almost worthless but give worth to them because these things come from what has given them love and choice and so then they think about this conflict and eventually error logically and emotionally and thus the sacred art of the enjoyment of fantasizing without jealousy, lust, or envy is betrayed and that’s what they do and adults call it maturity and sanity. If children were taught more imagination and their good desires, if even only for themselves, encouraged and linked to other’s and taught to choose whatever they want to but conserve the good things that they find when they eventually became sexual it would be a great thing rather than simply a very very exciting thing, a creativity rather than a fulfillment. Women and men each have special abilities. Men’s strength (like women’s grace) and strong desire goes with their sexuality, and women sometimes think it wanting to be manly and a choice–no, it’s their nature. Women should be enthralled by a man’s vast sexual desire for them. However, men should not limit that vast desire to physical things, but other arts which having a new conversation would be and having a daily pointless one would not, but as children are raised how could one blame them? If women had the same engulfing and free desire, men would not look at porn. And when women do, and men look at porn, men are using their own bodies to remove from themselves choice and individuality instead of taking and choosing both, which is not what bodies are for. This may be because a man is confused, uncontrolled, lusting, or at the average mental level of society or a mix. There are many, many problems in women as well, but the point is there is not a second of time for critique because it’s much past that criticizing has no affect at all about this subject in now, you have to be much much more creative than that. Be a feminist that wants to control men’s goodness and give them your best creativity for yourself in this rather than a man’s mind or nature. Otherwise you’re worthless. A man’s body is designed to impregnate many women, how do you suppose this is supposed to work in now? ?. The only way is if there is something stronger than that that at the same time doesn’t compete but engulfs desire and if you are one of those men or women in that situation you’re smiling more than any adventure could give you.
I look around and see how human beings act and reckon this situation and I don’t like women and I don’t like men. That’s me. What do you feel?

December 21st, 2009 at 3:19 pm

all the answers have been very interesting…i HATE the fact that my bf looks at porn and pleasures himself to it…i KNOW that it is alot better then going out and getting with other women, but it just makes me angry inside…like i want to make him feel the same way….
so i ask you this, since its like trying to fight a war going every over exposed movie..mag…ect…
should i give up and act the way men act…will this make me understand or feel better knowing that i am doing it too? maybe those days that he takes his computer to the bedroom and locks the doors wouldnt piss me off to no end if i started doing it too, or even checking out mens packages while were out together…im just thinking maybe this would make things easier….i wish they could feel the way it makes us feel

As a woman, I feel that porn can be empowering. Even if our fantasies can be influenced by society, they are still ours. We are free to discover our bodies, we are free to do whaterver the hell we want with them, and that is absolutely priceless. Men are used to that kind of empowerment; they don’t necessarily need to argue about it, as it is granted. They are not biologically different; they’re only different socially. Men are brought up to believe that their power resides in the wise manipulation of their bodies, and they still believe that being a «provider» for a woman means a lot about their virility… Both are simple social paradigms that were set by communities long ago – not because they were good, but simply because they felt right AT THE TIME. Now, I’m not taking sides here: I think that men’s role, as supposed frenetic sex beasts, is just as socially induced as some women’s PERCEIVED DUTY as sexual beasts.
That being said, I think there is a serious lack in Sociology/History education amongst women. Seriously: why in the world would we even WISH to be our bf’s sole partner, unless we were brought up to believe that it was the only meaning of life????
That goes both ways. When men get offended by comments about other good-looking men, what do you think they’re offended by? They feel that way because they’re convinced they should be the only cock available for their wifey. Where did they get that from?? You see, thay’re in as much trouble as we are…

Well, I guess I can top off all of the stories of betrayal and hurt over porn that I have read so far. My man watches porn while we are in bed and does not even acknowledge that I am next to him, horny as hell, naked and ready to go. We get into matching shouts over this dilemma over and over and over again. I dont mind him watching porn, I am openminded but when his eyes are just glued to the porn movie and does not even look my way, it just breaks my heart. I tried to understand he enjoys watching this type of movies but I am pretty sure even the men will agree, that this dude is taking me for a sucker!

January 7th, 2010 at 3:30 pm

I’m a man who has been researching pornagraphy and the effects that it has on women and society , pornagraphy for the most part breeds violence against women , women are replused by porn because most women feel that they should be enough for the man in their life and he shouldn’t have to look else were for excitement , instead of loosing your man to pornagraphy why not exchange pornagraphy with something else that he likes to do but you don’t , this means that you will have to change a little , perhaps then he will be willing to do something you like to do that he did not like but will try it now because you opened the door compromise , then teach your husband about sex to see what he enjoys most
some men who love there wives will study pornagraphy to see what pleases women most , they are ashamed to ask so show your husband what you like, I interviewed and old couple married 65 years the wife was sitting in the husbands lap making out on the bench in the park , so I sat down beside them , it pissed them off for a bit , then I started asking them questions , when they first got married they were both virgins they asked God before they consumated their marriage that they should always be intoxicated in each other’s arms , so while they are in each others arms hugging they both have orgasms only there is no dischange when they hold one an other and french kiss she said it was like little firecrackers going off inside of her mutliple orgasms , when they had regular intercourse both agreed that it was 3 times more pleasureable than that and would have discharge and it’s been that way their whole marriage of 65 years both of them at the end of the conversation could not understand why they confided this to me , people all my life have always felt comfortable with me and have always answered question when I asked , they said that they go on their knees every night in prayer and ask to keep the gift , neither one ever looked at pornagraphy , she said that she’s always been all that he ever needed

January 8th, 2010 at 10:38 pm

Let me try to explain the main reasons men watch porn.

1) Dozens of studies have been done asking both men and women the most satisfying moment of sex for them. An overwhelming percentage of the women say “when I come”, and an overwhelming percentage of the men say, “when my partner comes” The joy of sex for men is also the most potentially damaging moment because they have to anticipate that they will fail, (ever hear that term “performance anxiety” its only used to describe men), because women are essentially disinterested in anybody’s happiness but their own.

BUT JACKING OFF AND PORN is only for him, he get’s to be as lost in his orgasm as you are lost in your trips for shoes. When he is with you he is pleasuring you when he is alone with his porn he is pleasuring himself.

The lying and hiding and denying is because he knows he’ll have to hear you go on and on about it.

2)We know you manipulate us with sex. you give when we perform appropiately for you and you withhold to keep us in line. We use porn and jacking off to lessen your grasp on us.

3) Like most women you dont understand what the we see in the women in porn. Unlike you, (in our minds) these women arent using sex to manipulate those men, porn women are FUCKING BACK, They are engaging in sex for the sake of sex, they are as crazily engaged as we are. These women just want to have sex with us, and want it as badly as we do,

What is so terrible about you women is that mostly you say the same thing, HE should give up porn because I dont like it.

WHAT THAT TRANSLATES TO IS:

I should give up something that he likes to make me happy.

WHAT THAT TRANSLATES TO IS:

He should give up MY happiness for MY happiness

WHAT THAT TRANSLATES TO IS:

I dont give a fuck about his happiness only my own, BUT even if I dont care about him, hes is still required to care about me.

You all are truly evil people

Hears my problem!! I believe I would be cool with my man watching porn if he made me feel beautiful and worth something. We are insecure because our men make us that way. How am I supposed to feel when I try my hardest to look good but all I get is a….”you look good” ???? seriously??? F*** you!! Of course I do!! We need more than that!! How bout baby I don’t know what I’d do without you, your my heart and soul, thank you for all you do, you look beautiful today…(even thou I have no makeup on) would it kill you to show a little affection???? I hate that stupid rule….Guys are different…..Well F*** that!! Fake it then!! Just as we don’t like you watching porn….you guys might not like showing some “love and affection” to your woman. Well it takes 2 baby!!! If your woman isn’t confident and doesn’t like you watching porn its prob because you don’t make her feel special then in turn she gets pissed when you watch porn because she’s self conscious!!! I WONDER WHY???? UGH!!!

You know I bet if it was the other way around and women were the ones always looking at porn or caught staring at the waitress or were the ones typically thought of as being the strayers, the high sex drive etc etc than we would get bashed for it too and you men would start complaining about it just as much. point is like Sara says why do you need to think of having sex with someone else when you’re already with someone. that’s the part that doesn’t make sense to women. it makes us feel betrayed and lied to. saying you love us yet every day you think about having sex with someone else. i mean shit if that is how you feel than don’t bullshit with i love you and you’re the only one. the lieing part is what gets us and it would get you too if you were on the other side. put yourself in her shoes. just because all your buddies thinks its cool to lie to chicks doesn’t mean shes not human.

What I find funny about the “Men are visual creatures” comment is that it is believed to be true among the scientific community that women are also visual creatures, and this is why they are prone to fuss around with their appearance. I find it a bit convenient to say that men and women are visually stimulated by different things. The divide between men and women on this issue I believe is that a majority of porn that is discovered is porn that is

1) Aimed toward men

2) Shown through a man’s eyes

Very little is taken into consideration in these movies for what REALLY pleases a woman as an individual, and I can see that leaving a bad taste after the truth comes out.

I’m not bashing porn, but that’s how I see it.

Oh, and to the man who asks if I’d rather my boyfriend cheat on me or look at my friend. If porn is the only thing keeping him from wanting to fuck my friends or hire a hooker, I’m probably better off without him. Just sayin’.

It’s like asking if I’d rather smacked in the face with a crowbar or have my foot run over with an SUV. They both hurt.

Watching porn is hard-wired into men. Men are evolutionarily programmed to do it. Pretty much every man watches porn. Pretty much every woman has a problem with men watching porn. If men weren’t programmed to do it, then they wouldn’t, due to women’s resistance to it. Most men don’t enjoy hiding things, being sneaky, or hurting women. Men are programmed to shop for other women, so we watch porn to satisfy that need. We are also programmed to take care of the woman we’re with, but as the article state, that creates a lot of pressure that doesn’t exist with watching porn. Women who say that they’ve made their men stop watching are not only deluding themselves that their man has actually stopped, they are also creating a relationship where hiding activities is a necissity to the man. In addition, she is attempting to force the man to stop something that is in his nature. Nature will prevail. He will either watch porn behind her back, or will begin looking elsewhere for that release. Even if the man stays true, there will still be frustration from not being able to find any outlet for those desires, as well as the frustration from being controlled.

When a man watches porn, it does not mean that he’s not happy with his woman, or satisfied, or any of that. To men, women are like art… they are the most beautiful thing in the world. Just because you’ve seen one painting, or one flower, or one sunset it doesn’t mean you don’t want to see more. To put it in terms of other things that are ingrained: Just because a person isn’t hungry doesn’t mean they don’t want a peice of chocolate. Just because a person is happy in a relationship and doesn’t want to get pregnant, doesn’t mean they don’t want to have sex.

well, i guess im not the only one disgusted with porn. my man hid it on me. oh, believe me i can smell a whore a mile away. i found his nice hidden stash. threw it at him and ripped them up. i also found out he was going to strip clubs. that was 3yrs ago. i f***ing hate him. i only stay for the kids. yeah he loves me but, i dont give a crap. i want better for me. i like attention on me. and its all about me. i think its funny men need excuses to act on bad behavior. well honey, im a guy and im programmed to be like this. so your telling me you have a computer chip in you. you gotta be joking. my mans upset cause i dont put out like i use too. hum i wonder why? maybe he found something else to entertain him im not need so i will find another man in need. sounds fair to me. dont you think? guys, you dont give attention to your woman, just like me she will start withdrawing herself from you and get on with her life. 3yrs i cant get over it. i feel replaced. hurt. low self esteem. and i now get sick to my stomach everytime i look at him. ewwww! yucky yucky! very tainted! i cant wait to start my life without him.

It isn’t just guys that need variety. If you men really, honestly think that us women don’t sneak off and look at “hot asian guys” or “hot guys in boots” or “hot guys whatever” then you are dead wrong. We have the same carnal needs and desires that you men do, we just are sneakier about it than you are. We lie too. We are experienced liars. We can look you in the eye and tell you that you are the best we ever had and make you believe it. We fantasize – we don’t just use porn to fantasize, we are in a way worse than you guys are. We fantasize about your friends, our exes, high school guys we dated or didn’t date, college guys we knew, your brother, the guy next door or across the street and we do this even while we are having sex with you – if we are bored of the same old routine, we will use fantasy to get us there. So if you think that you are doing something that we aren’t – you are wrong. Dead wrong. Just remember that for every 1 picture/video/fantasy of some girl you don’t know that you have – we probably have at least 2 or 3 of people we do know ;)

hey ppl, i jus got back in town and i was away from my boyfriend for a week…i come in my room and i went to the history to find a website i had previously gone to before i left…..i saw some websites that i hadnt seen before and out of curiosity i went to them….they were porn….this isnt the first time…im aware that he looks at porn but he denied when i confronted him about it the first time….bcuz he left the screen open and when i came to use the computer there it was!!! but instead of being honest…he lied and said he wasnt looking at porn…..shouldd i be worried that he lies about it? or shoulld i leave it be? i feel like he should trust me enough to be honest about it…i have lots of uncle and male cousins…and my brothers too…i know men watch porn and i could care less if he watches it bcuz our sex life is great! what should i do?
