Spinoff on poll below

I am a hypocrite I know..I don't like that my husband watches porn without me..but I watch it without him. I like it better though when we watch together, which we do probably about 2x a month, definately not the majority of the times we have sex.

But, if I ever come across something he's been looking at it completly turns me off, even though under normal circumstances it would turn me on. Does that happen to anyone else? I know it is just an insecurity/jelously thing but I wish I could just get over it!

    I guess I don't understand why this is such a lightening rod issue (no pun intended).

    I have no desire to watch porn WITH my spouse, because we are turned on by totally different things. I like men and he likes women. Somehow I don't think my husband shares my fascination with exploding weiners.

  • Lol. When we watch together it is pretty atraightforward guy on girl stuff. I will admit watching together I chose tamwr things then I might chose on my own..dont want to freak him out. But typically he just looks at pics of naked girls. So I agree, I wouldnt want to look at that w him
  • Yeah, that doesn't make much sense.

    ed:  I just saw your response that while the two of you watch people having sex, his porn is 100% female objectification.  I wouldn't be willing to get naked in front of that guy, either.

  • Fair enough, however I have read some interesting things about how porn causing ED and men being unable to respond during sex with a real women really began with porn movies/internet porn and not so much playboy type images. I would rather him look at pics vs videos of the women in porn acting fakely turned on and having continuous fake orgasams.

    You have to watch a LOT of porn for this to happen.  Hours and hours.

  • Basically saying todays porn effects the brain and arousal in ways porn didnt used t when it was just dirty pics or stories.
  • I highly doubt that this is your concern, since you watch it together and without him.

  • My feelings on porn are very complicated. Its def an issue in our marriage. More because of the way I believe it effects his drive more than anything but I dont want to stop watching myself or together.

  • i would say it is a bit hypocritical of you to say you can watch porn but you feel weird about your husband watching it without you. But I personally understand also how the kind of porn men watch sometimes isnt quit something we'd watch alone (unless it is for you then its just hypocritical) you should talk to him about this issue because it makes you feel the way you feel. However you should not bring up that artical you found about the desensitization porn can do. i would say that yes you'd have to watch a lot of porn, and its probably similar to the desensitzation you can get from using your vibrator to much instead of manual stimulization. but unless hes watching a lot of porn, and the girls or totally different than you, you probably dont have a problem.
