Honestly I don't see what the big deal is with porn in a relationship for those people who oppose it that is. I understand some women may feel like their man is using that a source or way to get turned on and don't feel that comfortable with themselves and their bodies. But really people communicate better with one another!!! This is certainly one thing dw and I have really worked a great deal over the past year is our ability to truely open up and communicate with one another and it has has a profound impact on our overall relationship. I use to be the one to hold things in more and not open up as easily now we both open up and don't keep things from one another and our relationship is better than ever. We have a extensive amount of porn both video and magazine. She gets Playgirl subscription I playboy and we also get Penthouse letters we both enjoy looking and reading it together as well as occcassionally watching porn. We even from time to time will pick out a porn movie from A&E together that we mutually want. But again it all goes back to communication without it what do you have in a relationship?

I don't have a problem with it (actually enjoy it myself), but I know that sometimes it does interfere in a relationship. Some people really hate it, and in that case, they don't want their SO looking at it. In most of those cases, I think communication and understanding would go a long way to improving the situation.

I've never met a guy who would prefer porn to the real thing, but I do think some women can make such a big deal out of his interest in porn that it can seem that way. I'm not saying that there aren't guys who watch too much porn, but in those cases, I wonder what the rest of the relationship is like. I think for one thing in a relationship to cause so many problems, there must be other things interfering as well.

Also, I don't mean to stereotype, but I've never heard of a guy complaining about his female mate having too much interest in porn, LOL.

My vote was I'm a female, and it's okay sometimes. Although I'm not presently in a relationship and when I was it was never off limits in any way. Porn do add a nice touch from time to time when I'm solo-ing or if watched with a partner, but it's not a necessity for me to get off. I tend to find, even when I'm watching porn, I tend to drift off anyway onto fantasizing about something more interesting like things I've done to or with

I dated a guy once, who had a roommate that was wayyyyy too into the pron! He'd make a girl wait till he was done. He'd be in there for hours! Once the guy I was with cleaned some of it up & it seriously filled 2 big garbage bags, with more left in the room, all spilling out of the closet.


And women wanted to date him. He was going to be a doctor, was already up to residency. I'm sure they all thought, he'll stop for me!

I voted that it's sometimes OK. It should come as no surprise to those here who know me that my DW finds porn abhorent.

Yeah, that sounds a little obsessive and excessive to me.

It's sad to think that anyone would see all of that and think he would change for anyone.

I put other, I'll explain.


Overall, I don't have a general opinion of porn.


In my relationship, porn is fine (or good, depending on the video, lol) - seriously though, it is ok in our relationship.

I tend to like hard core porn for the very reason that there is little or no story line. It's the stuff where they try to make a story line that tends to distract me from the original reason for watching in the first place, LOL. Another problem that I have with some supposedly 'female friendly' porn is that they assume women don't want to see male genitals. I feel cheated when that happens!

There are some women who direct and/or produce porn. You might want to check out Candida Royalle or Nina Hartley.

We recently saw "Rush" which was decent enough.
