(NSFW) For women in a commited relationship: Partner's use of porn.

Asked by Dr_Lawrence (20014points) April 30th, 2010

Assume you are satisfied with the sexual side of the relationship with your partner and the relationship as a whole is positive and pleasing to you.

Most men and many fewer women view pornography while in relationships.

Assume that your S/O enjoys watching porn and masturbating to it. This is an occasional activity (as opposed to compulsive) and does not involve violent content or material that exploits children. He does not ever engage in cyber sex with other women on the Internet.

Your partner does not want to be secretive or deceptive about this interest (unless you insist).

Do you:
a) Expect him to keep this activity hidden and secret from you?
b) Enjoy watching with him(her) and stimulate them or yourself while watching?
c) Feel hurt or offended by their activities and feel like you are not sufficiently exciting to him if he does this?
d) Something else? Please specify?
