    Girls-
    Would you mind/be upset if you found out yor other half was watching porn?
    Having talked about this with a couple of my mates, most would seem to mind. But I honestly wouldn't mind at all.
    Hell as long as it wasn't two men (no offence to any gay men) going at it, I'd watch it too.

    So yeah, fine women of LL. How would ye feel??

    I actually got one bf porn while on holidays in spain one year so I couldn't really throw a fit if I'd caught him watching lol.

    Honestly wouldn't bother me as long as it wasn't anything illegal [no kiddies, animals, etc etc].

    It's probably a much better idea to buy your boyfriend porn than to buy him video games. Less boring, you can join in, and he can't play it all night and ignore you. Unless he is really determined.

    Speaking of which, I was in an "adult shop" and i have never been as unnerved in my life!
    It was full of eastern europeans and had movie booths. And the movie booths had like 2 boxes of tissues in em. AHHH!
    Some of the DVDs were like.. Woah!.. too...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,788 ✭✭✭ztoical


    have to say we had a really good laugh watching the porn I'd picked up - it was american but dubbed into spainish really badly - couldn't stop laughing. We did end up having sex after watching, both us trying to do our best porno moans and grunts - I don't think I've laughed so much during sex in my life.

    The tissues were for the incredibly soppy storylines, I assure you.

    Tbh, i always said that it never bothered me, but thinking about it more these days im very self conscience and have a fairly low opinion of my self image and well the idea of him looking at some pretty girl and, pardon the term, cracking one off, it does upset me a little. But its my own problem, i know guys do it and thats just a fact, but if i am to be 100% honest ..... I'm not 100% happy with it.

    But such is life.

    No problem with porn at all. We've watched it together.

    I don't like very rough stuff as it always seems to be quite degrading, but anything else legal is fine :)

    OK, Jez ... the strap-ons, the whips, the footlongs which would have no place in Subway ... these didn't disturb you, but a couple of box of Kleenex unnerved you?! :p:D

    And believe me, the alternative would have been a hell of a lot more disturbing ... :o

    Seriously, Jules, what many women find difficult to understand is to just what extent guys can watch porn and think only with the lower head ... it really has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with RL or relationships.

    Truthfully, some of those women, and what they get up to, would scare the living shit out of us if they appeared in our bedroom some night.

    Apparently, this is especially true of Welsh men, for some reason ... >_>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    ha, i love adult shops, i have no idea why, never buy anything there, but still find them fascinating and entertaining, for some reason.

    i wouldn't care about the b/f watching porn, though i would have my days where, like jules, i would feel extra self conscious or something, but... my b/f doesnt watch porn, so no problems there.

    either way, as long as i still get to watch this i'm happy ;)

    Ha so he says. You've just never caught him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    believe me, the dude has very little sex drive most of the tiem, and finds porn just really fake. i love how any time something like this gets mentioned (or fancying celebs, etc), im always told that that's just what i think and he probably does behind my back...

    To be fair 99% percent of guys DO look at porn and fancy celebs. It's a natural thing we do. It's not a big deal (well it shouldn't be anyway).

    The other 1% are liars by the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    meh, it's just not for him. he's well old enough at this stage to know what he wants/likes and doesnt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,044 ✭✭✭gcgirl


    i have no prob with porn, its just when it replaces sex that it really pissed me off! with the ex he use to log on to my pc when i went training and guess you know the rest ! i think even if i was a guy i would prefer to actually F**k someone as oppose to doing it my self ! Porn is i think for some people who are affaid of intimacy with there other halves !!

    Unbeknown to me, my flatmate's (now ex) b/f took liberties with my laptop last year and visited one too many of "those" sites and got my computer infected! If he hadn't left in a hurry after I found out, there would have been b/f sushi on the menu girls!

    Unfortunately women aren't always up for it, guys are. Would you rather he looked at a bit of porn or cheated? (More of a point than a question cause I know the answer is obvious.)

    P.S this will quickly become the most viewed thread in boards histroy.

    i don't think women mind porn that much in my experience its just when u have so much that u forgot that u had a particular film that they get worried lol

    Ok as I haven't met you yet I can't comment on you looks but I would like to put it this way, and that is chances are brad pitt still looks at porn.

    Well in that case I can no longer defend him! You're better off without if that's the case!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    Meh. NEarly every guy watches porn to varying degrees.

    THat said, I've known a fair few girls who were into it.

    Wouldnt mind a bf looking at all, I've bought it for an ex before, no harm in it, as someone said before, it's better than him cheating. It would be naive to think one person can fulfil every sexual need of another person.

    tbh from my experience from speaking to my friends , the girls that mind their boyfriend watching pron and having fantasys about women in dirty vids etc are self conscious/unhappy about their own body and or performance in bed


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I sometimes watch it with him. Ive no problem with porn at all, as long as its not paedophila, bestiality or abusive to women. I see masturbation as a little separate from sex anyway, like potnoodle as opposed to a cooked meal. Quick and easy if not quite as satisfying.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 991 ✭✭✭aye


    as a guy i can honestly say i dont really watch alot of porn.
    i have more interest in the real thing.

    i'm not saying i've never watched it, but wouldnt even have any at home or anything.
    i know mates of mine who would watch it daily.
    personally i can find better things to do.

    I have no problem with porn but I'd have a problem with my boyfriend watching it. I'm not too sure why. But he had a problem with my vibrator so I've stopped using so I'm sure he'd stop watching porn if I asked him to.

    It's harmless fun but you can live without if it makes your partner happy.

    The notion that men can't have a lower sex drive than their mate is complete nonsense.

    I think the link between the two is tenuious, sexual frustration is not in of itself motivation to cheat.

    Porn is fine, I would worry about a porn fetish though. I also worry about the unrealistic expectations it gives young people, who seem to be getting their sex eduaction via internet porn these days.
    I'm shocked by some of the things I hear from teenage women these days, and I can't help feeling that these things just distract from their persuit of sexual satisfaction.

    Actually, you bring up a good point ... I have never understood why guys would have a problem with a girl having a vibrator. Hell, I've bought them for girls!

    Now, I would agree that that is far from good. Porn should be taken about as seriously as an American Pie film, at best ... silly, light-hearted, unrealistic, mindless entertainment.

    I totally agree with you, I have no probs with porn at all, but I would die if I caught my SO watching two fellas... thats just sick! (no offence to gay men either) I would prob sit and have a wee watch ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭jellie


    I know my bf watches porn, i accept it. cant say i love that he does but im not against it either. thered only be a problem if he was choosing the porn over me.

    some men seem to see things in porn & think its what women must like. or see things & go wahey i could do that! sometimes they need reminding theyre not pornstars themselves :p

    considering we dont see each other too often, i should almost hope he is watching it...
    so do i, i dont see an issue here
    Would you rather he looked at a bit of porn or cheated?
    No wonder some women think there's a problem with guys watching pron when people come out with complete rubbish like this
    watching pron and cheating are two entirely completely seperate things, this kind of question is ridiculous

    +1 :p:p:p

    I like porn so does my o/h. Never watched it together tho. I like the whole role play thing in porn like slutty secretary with boss, or nurse and patient..... don't know why.... but jaysus it gets me going.......;)

    I think it's a healthy outlet but in moderation. I know a guy and ALL he thinks about and talks about is porn - it wrecks my head. He's engaged and I totally pity his fiancé and would understand why her head woud be wrecked about it - the balance is way off


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Donegal Lass


    I cant see any real harm in it tbh, but, as was said earlier as long as there was nothing "illegal" about it! I think if brought into a couples sex life, it can spice things up a bit, for both parties. As long as he doesnt watch it all day every day then it doesnt really bother me, apart from the odd twinge of jealousy of the girls with the insanely hot bods! :D


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,945 ✭✭✭BEAT


    In the beginning it didnt bother me, we even watched it together..
    then we decided to make our own and thats what he watches now so I love it, when Im not home he can still have me.. sorta
