    how much porn watching does your man do?

    is their a such thing as too much watching of pornography?

    and would it be a deal breaker,how would you view it?

    what if for example,if he asked you and constantly pestered you to renact porn scenes?

    if it took the center stage in your sex life would you see it as a problem?

    How do you know when you are watching too much porn? Look she has a new tattoo.

    Why do women watch porn?
    To see if they get married.

    Hope this helps ......

    How much is too much?
    Watch it together- it's 10 times more fun! :P

    I'm a girl and I watch porn so not sure I could turn around to a guy and say you watch too much porn, it's off! It might be a dealbreaker for him to have a GF who watches porn [and reads it, porn isn't just limited to poor quality internet video clips] but wanting babies and listening to Leonard Cohen are the only dealbreakers for me.

    The only dangerous amount of porn to watch is none.

    What is it with you and porn? Well too much of anything is a bad thing I suppose. If its taking over the sex life then there's a problem.

    hey im not saying watch no porn etc,but i think there should be a limit on the amount one watches in a day,if for example it takes up somebodys sex life then its not such a good thing,if however its a mutual thing then i suppose its not as bad,but im sure there are mutual couples out there who are obsessed with it,and watch way to much of it..

    28064212,how is parroting and putting in TV/xbox and games in place of porn constitute a valid argument?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,966 ✭✭✭✭syklops


    how much porn watching does your man do?

    I'm a guy. Usually I 'watch' about 10mins per day about 3-4 days a week. I read(and write ;) ) another hour or two per week. Sometimes more depending on work/stress/free time etc.

    is there such a thing as too much watching of pornography?
    Of course. Same as too much of any other activity. Is there such a thing as too much playing golf? Or too much posting on boards?
    and would it be a deal breaker,how would you view it?
    Define too much first. Daily? I personally don't understand people who watch entire 2 hour plus movies of porn, unless its a decent sex session(and lets face it, how much 'watching' gets done?
    what if for example,if he asked you and constantly pestered you to renact porn scenes?

    If he constantly pestered you, then he is a muppet. Re-enact porn scenes? Are there famous ones that I don't know about? Like Act 3 of Hamlet?
    if it took the center stage in your sex life would you see it as a problem?

    If anything took centre stage in my sex life other than my partner and the pursuit of sexual pleasure, then yes I would view it as a problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,975 ✭✭✭✭28064212


    how is parroting and putting in TV/xbox and games constitute a valid argument?
    You really don't understand? You can't figure out the incredibly obvious point that is being made? Wow.

    Too much of ANYTHING can be a bad thing. Porn is a form of entertainment, like everything I listed, and many more besides. If any form of entertainment is taking over your life, or parts of it, it's a bad thing. The particular type of entertainment is irrelevant

    Which posters exactly are women in here? By "women's views" do you just mean views that agree with yours?

    nope certainly not as if that were the case there would be no intersesting views that reflect many in here,so no i wouldnt say that..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack


    How about your own perspective Christmas ?
    Would it be a deal breaker for you ? or how much is to much in your own opinion ?
    Herself at home here, is prone to a bit now and again, often after a bottle of vino.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,659 ✭✭✭Siuin


    Few pleasures in life are free (well, so long as you use the right sites..!)
    I've found porn very useful for seeing what a guy is into and getting new kinky ideas- obviously if he's fapping over it 24/7 there's a problem, but I've heard so many women get so neurotic about it, you'd swear he was starring in them as opposed to innocently watching


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,676 ✭✭✭✭herisson


    I dont see why it would be to be honest!

    If he wants to watch porn then he can, im not going to stop him! But like Siuin said, if hes doing it 24/7 then i would have a problem with it becaue it would be like he has an addiction to it!

    Other than that i wouldnt really care!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 363 ✭✭analucija


    Nobody can answer your questions. How much is too much? Well an addiction or obsession is too much but other than that I don't know. In general it wouldn't bother me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,012 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    My boyf lied to me about the amount he watches for the last 3 years. I only found out recently that he watches it from looking up stuff on his laptop and going into his history. I was quite shocked at the amount he watched and really upset that he lied to me about it! He told me he was only watching it because he was stressed from exams and that he usually doesnt watch it and I said fair enough but then I caught him out again stop and I know he is lying about it.
    He told me he only lied to protect our relationship because he didnt know how he felt about it. To be honest im more annoyed that he has lied to me and lied very convincingly it has me paranoid about what else he has lied to me about. It makes me feel quite sh!t!

    Female view: If it affects your sex life as a couple then there's a problem. If it's just something he does on his own time, then I don't see the issue.

    Same as, you beat me to it.

    If excessive anything affected our relationship negatively then we'd need to have a chat but as it's something that does not impact our relationship negatively then I've no problem with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    It's not a dealbreaker for me. Only one real dealbreaker for me tbh - cheating. My bf watching porn wouldn't worry me in the slightest.

    If it's affecting his life/your sex life then it's probably too much.

    Meh as long as it didn't affect the relationship I wouldn't mind. And as long as it was normal, not sick disturbed stuff. That would probably put me off.

    I'm a girl- if I was seeing a guy who watched a lot of porn it wouldn't bother me in the least. Free time is exactly that, and far be it for anybody to dictate to another what they should do with theirs.
    Where it would become a problem is if it was so excessive that is was affecting other aspects of his life and/or our sex life.
    I have hobbies that take up a lot of my time. If a guy tried to tell me I was spending too much time cycling/reading/whatever, I'd have a huge problem with that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    watching large amounts of porn is different to cycling,you have to acknowledge that they get their ideas from it,i know a few girls who have been put off by this in the past,im not saying this on behalf of everyone its just my view on it,there is a such thing as watching too much,its different to say someone who reads too many books or plays a little too much badminton in the summer,its a completely different kettle of fish.If you think what the repotaire and outlook of a guy who watches to much porn,to the repotraire a and outlook of a guy who doesnt watch so much,it does change the way you behave somewhat,to completely ignore this is foolish..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭flyswatter


    I know a guy who watches porn a lot.

    In fairness, he's a complete tosser.

    I suppose I was referring to conventional (ish) porn, which I see absolutely nothing wrong with whatsoever, in fact I think it's healthy. So in that regard, yes, it is comparable to spending a lot of time on another hobby (cycling was just one example btw).

    I have to ask- when you say 'their ideas' - what do you mean by this?

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    some people get thier ideas from porn if they didnt watch it they wouldnt bother..i know some girls that have renenacted porn scenes from particular movies and down the line of the relationship decided to break up over it..

    im not saying every guy that watches porn does this,or is guilty of this,but im sure there is an unidentified number out there that does,and its a pity because i think if anything these guys lack a fertile imagination anybody that equates watching porn to someone enriching their imagination is lacking i would say..
    if you read a book you are stimulating your imagination as its up to your brain to manufacture images,and imagine what would the scene the authour is describing would be like etc..as opposed to have a movie do it for you..

    What ideas though? Do you mean that some guys try to convince girls to re-enact scenes that they're not comfortable doing? If that's the case, surely it's a matter of discussing it and only doing what both partners are comfortable with?
    Plenty of people are into very kinky sex, and as long as both partners are willing and open to it then there's no issue.
    At the end of the day communication is key in any sexual relationship.

    There's nothing wrong with getting ideas from a porn scene. I've learned a few new positions this way. ;) Are porn films and regular films bad because they're ruining people's imiginations? You could say the same thing about boards.

    Everything is a dealbreaker for Irish women as they've so many choices they just move onto the next in pursuit of mr.perfect. They aren't as feminine as women from other countries, a massive understatement.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 39 johnjoe7


    Polish women will watch porn WITH us Irish men :D, while Irish women will do what they always do: nag (as evident in this thread). See the difference?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,973 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    You know you watch too much porn when you keep watching to see if the plumber actually gets the plumbing fixed...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    wrong i know some polish women who hold more traditional family value catholic principles than our irish counterparts swinging for fights,drinking and swearing,you have to admit on friday nights,and football fan expiditions we live up to our name :pac:
    although i will say one thing polish women tend to hold on to their figures longer,but thats down to diet,instead of crisps they eat bags of apple shavings etc,they have dinners,and cook their own dinners as opposed to take aways every night,take aways are only meant as weekenders..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭Daftendirekt


    Little tip johnjoe - if you're consistently having negative experiences with a diverse group of people, the common denominator is you, not everybody in that group.

    On topic, I find it strange that whenever anyone talks about watching porn, a lot of people immediately assume that you're talking about an obsession or addiction. It's as if you can either not watch porn at all or you can be so into it that it interferes with your sex, love or social life. Replace porn watching in the OP with throwaway paperback novel reading, or stamp collecting and it looks a lot more bizarre.

    Video games often get a similar treatment.
