Should You be Bothered if Your Partner likes Watching Porn?
Monday, July 27th, 2009You’re probably hearing that Avenue Q song about the Internet and porn in your head right now. Thanks to the Internet, your partner seems to be on the computer forever, watching porn and looking at pictures of barely-clad women. Should you be bothered by this?
No.
Especially if you also watch porn, though not as enthusiastic as guys seem to be. Sometimes, you have to look at it this way: asking a guy to stop looking at porn sounds like asking you to stop watching those romance movies or TV drama shows. Porn is one form of visual entertainment like sports and action movies that guys enjoy. Just like how you know that the leading men in your favorite TV dramas are just actors, guys (most of them anyway) know that what they see on porn with all those ladies playing around with anal toys is just for show.
Yes.
If it seems to be replacing the act and enjoyment that you both should be feeling, then it may be time to slow down on the porn marathon. If your sex life is slowly becoming dependent on what’s on the porn channel, then it’s just right to talk and lay down some ground rules.
