I haven't read any of this thread at all, including the first post, but I'd just like to say that I firmly believe that whatever the problem is, it's all the wife's fault.

Well here is a reality check, men watch porn. That doesn't meen he doesn't find you attractive or wants any other women but you. He watches porn becuase men have a natural deisre to collect women. They also have a natural desire to be monogomous. This conflict promts them the seek subsitutes for thier more primative desires, and porn noadays is so easy to obtain, its often hard to resist. This isn't right, good or moral, but it is pretty normal. And I don't think it means your husband doesn't love you, find you attractive, or is a bad husband in general.

Why don't men seem to complain about their female partners watching?

Yes, you must pick your battles. Is it straight porn, lesbian porn, or gay midget bukkake porn?

There's those "Men watch porn, men have a natural desire, it's normal" excuses. You can feed those excuses to all the women you want, but I've come too long of a way in my life to believe any of it. It's a bunch of crap and one of my ex's actually admitted it to me just a few weeks ago, not that I didn't already know. You know Mit, you really won me over on your thread, but you just lost me.

I don't even know why I'm in here again because the last time I stepped foot in here, I got so pissed off that I avoided A2K for a few weeks.

Thanks for reminding me why I should stay single.

You'll notice that most of these women who are upset over porn stumbled upon it after their husband or boyfriend swore he wasn't looking at it.

Which was in most of the described cases a promise they had been pretty much bullied into, after a week or more of fighting.

Perhaps the real lesson for men here should be: dont make promises you're not gonna be able to keep. If nothing else because it'll only make it worse.

But what if your woman says, my way or the highway? Never been in that position on this subject myself, but can well imagine the situation. Give it up cause I want you to. Notice how any random thread by a woman poster recounting how her bf or husband demanded her to give up something or else, automatically gets the sympathy of the Relationships & Marriage posters? With the guy near-instinctively assumed to be controlling, potentially abusive?

Ah well. I'm sure this thread will roll around another 20 pages like the previous ones did..

Heh to Brooke about the jealous boyfriend and watching sports ... oh yeah, of course it does happen the other way round too ... jealousy and insecurity, they're only human ... just, they're not necessarily the other's fault, or even responsibility.

Mit2727, there are men who love porn and there are women who love porn, but don't delude yourself that porn is 'NORMAL'[/i]. It is not normal, it is a sickness just like pedophelia or incest is.

Unless a married couple both enjoy porn, the marriage is doomed. Nobody can compete with those pictures which, by the way, are just silicone, makeup, teenagers who have run away from home and can find no other way or means of making a living, therefore, you are watching sad lives unfold and you should not revel in such sadness.

We are already living in a sick world, don't contribute to it.

Good grief, misti. You live a very restricted life if you believe that that is all porn/erotica is about.

A sickness? You may find some levels of addiction in the DSM, but not all interest in porn is carried to the point of addiction.

My x used to get mad at me for watching football. I have been into sports for as long as I can remember and football is my favorite. He said I was just watching it to see the tight asses in their uniforms. Rolling Eyes So you can imagine if he ever caught me looking at porn. Actually he loved porn videos and used to drag em out alot when were together. But that was ok cause it was him or him and I together.

I think alot of it does have to do with insecurities. Personally, to me, it's just a bunch of naked bodies - therefore I can't really relate to why everyone gets so upset. BUT - I can still feel bad for someone that does.



So basically you're saying that you love football and you're comfortable watching porn with your partner?

Brooke, would you marry me?

As far as the silicone and makeup are concerned i'm fine with them, I got no issues with technology. And you should get yourself informed a little bit better before saying that pornstars are a bunch of homeless young women. Some of them can be, but there are others that even are college graduates that just happen to like their porn job.

This really candidates for a most bigoted post on A2K. Disliking porn is perfectly okay, but comparing porn with pedophilia is either religious or moral fascism - wonder what is the case here.

Apparently if they're both mentally ill, it's alright by Misti.

It's not so much the PORN aspect. I just love naked bodies. Cool I'm not an artist - but I do alot of drawing. Naked bodies are art to me. Each one unique in it's own way. I think this is probably one reason why I have no problem with it. I know porn is not the same as art - however it is one reason it can be pleasurable.

In defense of women who do though - I can feel their pain. Doesn't matter if it's porn or something else. If it's hurting the marriage - it needs to be dealt with. There should be some kind of compromise - without demands.

I see your point and I also think no one should be forced to enjoy or accept something he/she does not like. And no one should be treated like a sick person just because he/she likes porn.

So you love football and are into art. Geez! that's the kind of woman i'm looking for!

Sorry I misposted the last one


I see your point and I also think no one should be forced to enjoy or
accept something he/she does not like. And no one should be treated like a sick person just because he/she likes porn.

So you love football and are into art. Geez! that's the kind of woman i'm looking for!
