I think that before entering a relationship you should discuss what makes each other comfortable. Some couples are ok with it, some aren't. That way neither feels that they are sacrificing for the other, and if something like this is a deal breaker you can get out before people get hurt.

It's all a matter of degrees and it depends on the individuals. For some, porn helps the relationship (i.e., gives it a bit more spice). For others, it's destructive.

Together or separate? How often?

Separate and daily. Also, it being only the male that watches it.

If it's something that is bothersome to the female, then she should definitely speak up. If it's uncomfortable to her, she shouldn't keep that inside, it will only harbor resentment. I have a friend who had this same problem with his wife, she never did get use to it, I can't say I would either. Hard for me to say as I've never been in the situation but I'd definitely get it discussed before things went further. Maybe an agreement can be made.

As long as you don't personally know the people in that porn, and you don't watch a lot of porn. Some couples watch porn together.

Depends on the people in the relationship. Some may be all right with it, while others may not. It's all about respecting each other and communication.

The top two signs of porn addiction: the inability to go a day without watching porn, and watching it to the point where it affects your relationship or everyday life.
If watching porn would place a strain on your relationship then you might want to consider reducing your porn viewing. Porn isn't a vital necessity, and if you can't give up porn for the sake of your relationship, then you just might be an addict.

That's a decision between two people. If you're partner doesn't want you to watch porn it shouldn't be that hard to not watch porn, it's just porn, and that's an argument I would rather just avoid.

Totally agreed. I think porn can be used as a tool to ignite further sparks between couples, and can help on lonely days/nights, too. But you nailed it - it's all about what both people are comfortable with.

Yep ^_^

That's why it's so important to get to know your partner beforehand. Relationships don't work without compatibility.

Yus. And I'd say be honest about it the first moment it's comfortable to bring the subject up - the longer a person knows their partner likes porn (or in my case, *some* erotic literature, among other habits), the more time they have to think about it, process it, and possibly just come to terms/accept it instead of suddenly finding out in a way that makes it LOOK like cheating. The way I look at it, if you treat it like it's cheating, it's going to be viewed like it's cheating.

Definitely. My friends like to joke about me and my prudishness, it's pretty common knowledge that I'm not into that stuff. So my boyfriend was very aware when we were still friends, and knew that if we were to be together he would need to respect that. He still looks at porn occasionally, but when he does he tells me and makes an effort not to do it often. I think knowing how I feel about it has made it easier for him to be honest with me, so when it does happen it's not so bad because we can talk about it.

No romantic or physical connections are being formed with the porn stars(hopefully). As long as it doesn't cut into me-time or become an addiction, why not? I watch/read porn form time to time. Doesn't change the fact that I still want a boyfriend for both emotional and physical reasons, it's just a nice little no-strings-at-all release.

It's kind of like bread-sticks at a restaurants. They supplement a meal, but they don't even begin to make one. However some people fill up on bread-sticks, which is neither healthy or satisfying.

I encourage it with my husband. We have different sleep schedules, so our sex life is relegated to the weekends. My husband has bigger needs than that, so he uses porn to help satisfy himself. There is nothing wrong with it, unless he was hiding it. And it would be wrong, not because of the porn, but because of the lying.

Good point. It's the dishonesty that does the harm, not the porn.

I won't tell my boyfriend that he can't watch porn (or anything that gets him equally excited), but I don't really go for it. Perhaps if we watched it together... Anyway, if he wants something, he should come to me and ask. That being said, him watching porn is better than going out and cheating on me with another girl.

It's when the partner starts watching porn instead of being with the other person, then it becomes in issue I think.

Starman to Your_Ni... 2012/07/08 01:56:21

I don't know why women don't enjoy porn as much as men, I think it's probably just not considered as socially acceptable. You can live without spices as well, but why would you choose to?

Most porn is targeted towards male fantasies that's why. Much of it degrades women and isn't even realistic. I find 75% of it to be just nasty.
