Porn in a relationship
By reading these forums the great majority of women seem fairly tolerant/enthusiastic about porn, but let's face it, it can also be a considerable source of jealousy in a couple. I'm not so sure that the average woman would be thrilled to discover that her partner frequently masturbates to hot pornstars who are half her age and half her weight.
Just last week at the cafeteria of my work, I overheard a conversation between two middle-aged women (mid-40s). Their dialogue was pretty much: "One of my friends caught her boyfriend masturbating to porn! What a jerk, I hope she'll find a better man, he's so unworthy of her!"
I own an impressive collection of porn myself and none of my girlfriends ever cared much about it; it's extremely unlikely that I'd establish a relationship with a girl that's utterly shocked by porn though, so maybe my previous relationships were relatively biased that way. I'm also rather independent and don't see my girlfriend much during the week, so it's not like the porn that I watch is excessively competing against her either.
It still makes me wonder however:
- Are there some circumstances where porn could make you feel jealous/uneasy?
- Is there such a thing as 'too much porn' for you in a relationship? What are your boundaries?
- Do you try to keep track of the porn that your partner watches, or turn a blind eye and don't mind it at all?
Thanks for sharing!
