It’s not a conversation I have all that regularly Grin but when it does come up so many people pull a Hmm face when I say that dh isn’t into porn and that I wouldn’t like it playing a part in our relationship. Is it really that common among men? Are women really ok with it?

OP posts:
Rufustheyawningreindeer · 10/09/2018 21:10

Personally, the subject doesnt come up in general conversation

And i dont think its something dh would hide

But again probably completely wrong Grin

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 10/09/2018 21:14

bonnie

I don't believe that everyone elses partner is watching porn

I don't believe that 100% of men watch porn

Though i know its a lot...my dad did if thats any help

I know dh did a long time ago...when he wasnt so old and tired

traceyracer · 10/09/2018 21:18

I thought porn use was almost universal amongst men. even if a man says he doesn't look at it how would you know if he was telling the truth?

GurlwiththeCurl · 10/09/2018 21:21

I know 100% that DH doesn’t watch porn. He doesn’t use any tech at all - no laptop, no mobile phone. I am the only one out of the two of us who does have tech, so I am always there to help him if he needs to email etc. He hates tech and he hates porn.

Everytime I see men parked in laybys/roadsides/parked up in high lorries, all looking down at their phones and right hand I immediately think Porn.

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 10/09/2018 21:25

Or they could just be responding to a text stormzy? What an odd thing to think Confused

PavlovaFaith · 10/09/2018 21:26

I can say hand on heart DH doesn't watch porn.
Phone is off all night
We get up together and sort children/ourselves
Drives to work
Very open office, lots of meetings etc.
Comes home and helps on an evening
Spends all evening with me
Goes to bed
Phones off...

I remember as a teenager he had a couple of DVDs (only had family computer at this time). I think I tried to be the "cool girlfriend" who would be watch porn with her boyfriend Hmm and he was rarely interested.

I think it depends on the libido of the guy.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 10/09/2018 21:26

What inspace said

Thats a bit of a jump storm Grin

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 10/09/2018 21:31

Blimey. Lots of you know what your other halves do every minute of the day. How very suffocating. He could still be having a swift wank to porn in the bog you know. Or in the middle of the night. Or do you have CCTV trained on them at all times? All seems a bit OTT

Stormzyandme · 10/09/2018 21:32

I drive as part of my job, I see loads in a day. I know what the shady fuckers are up to. It doesn't take a genius to work it out.

Not all, maybe some are on Tinder/Grinder texting but I will knock on the windows and add it to my spreadsheet & report back Grin

They are probably the ones who say they hate it. More fool the other half.

It's odd to think its innocent.

DryIce · 10/09/2018 21:33

I thought porn use was almost universal amongst men. even if a man says he doesn't look at it how would you know if he was telling the truth?

I think people's point is they know their husbands' view on porn as they've presumably discussed it, if they're making representations. Sure he could be lying, but he could be lying about anything - why stop at porn!

Racheyg · 10/09/2018 21:35

My oh would if he had the time sand the privacy

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 10/09/2018 21:35

Do you suffer from paranoia generally stormzy?Grin

marvellousnightforamooncup · 10/09/2018 21:35

Missyb1 do we have the same DH?

Stormzyandme · 10/09/2018 21:35

He could still be having a swift wank to porn in the bog you know

Dont get me started on the knobbers that think its funny to knock one out in the work toilets Hmm

Do you remember the programme about swingers that wore the animal masks, one spoke about wanking in Tesco toilets everytime hes out.. Vile.

boak Envy

Stormzyandme · 10/09/2018 21:37

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream No because I dont think they are doing it due to my beauty driving past them. I just know what dirty sly fuckers 90% of them are Grin

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 10/09/2018 21:37

stormzy you know your problem? You're surrounded by wankers Grin

marvellousnightforamooncup · 10/09/2018 21:37

Stormzy, not round my way. Lone blokes in a car park isn't phone porn it's dogging.

PenelopeShitStop · 10/09/2018 21:40

I wonder if any man, on discovering that his partner is anti-pornography, ever admits to her "Look, I hear that you are really uncomfortable about me using porn, but frankly I'm still going to carry on watching it anyway."

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 10/09/2018 21:42

He does have very long shits...thats a tv guide job

Cant see him waking up in the middle of the night either

But yep its no odds to me if people think that every man they meet looks at porn...and to be fair they are probably right the majority of the time

Im just not sure why they think they are right 100% of the time

(If this was a thread saying 100% have at some point looked at porn? Well I certainly wouldn't argue with that)

Stormzyandme · 10/09/2018 21:42

Oh god no. Not the dogging. It gives me the creeps.

Who picks up all the condoms after!

If you just watch through the window & not join in are you just called a dogger?

They must get through loads of windolene Grin

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 10/09/2018 21:45

penelope (great user name btw) I agree. Most male porn users will be aware that many women do not approve, therefore it's much easier to just lie about it. I personally feel people should not be put on the spot about it, male or female. It's private.

DieAntword · 10/09/2018 21:45

My husband doesn’t. I assumed all men did when I met him but he doesn’t. Due to the kids we tend to go to the toilet with the door open these days. The only place he could possibly look at it without my noticing is work and they frown on that sort of thing there.

What he does watch that I hate is bloody adverts on YouTube. Unboxing videos. “Reviews” (adverts). “Sponsored videos”. And gets all sad about things he can’t afford and not living up to a lifestyle that neither of us have the work ethic to make happen.

Stormzyandme · 10/09/2018 21:46

I should add that my driving around is 75% rural locations. I don't mean men sitting outside Aldi or owt!
