Why do so many women not like their men aka partners to watch porn ?

I am single atm but I am reading comments on here and so many seem horrified that their men might watch porn, even wank to it or maybe do cam to cam . Now I don’t think any of that is cheating porn is porn. So do you think that there seems to be quite a few women on MN that dont agree with it?

I can understand why people would have a problem with it, but not something I personally care about

@Furries what do you mean when you say that being ok with your partner watching porn means someone isn't confident in their relationship? Seems like quite a leap and you haven't explained the correlation.

I watch porn occasionally, my fiancé watches porn occasionally. We don't watch it together. I have no interest in changing other peoples opinions, nor having mine changed. It's a none issue to me but I appreciate why it is for others.

I am very confident in my relationship, yet you seem to think otherwise. Why?

Think it's an age thing as well. I regularly watch porn on my own or with my BF. I'd also say it gives us ideas or visual tips on doing stuff.

BF says watching lesbian porn made by women for women, helped him with his oral techniques and how to use various toys properly for maximum stimulation.
He has a brain & cans work out the reality Vs the fictions porn often presents.
I'd rather be with him than a brain dead suntanned moron with rock hard abbs who has zero clues on how female bodies work, and get by on good looks alone.

It's filmed prostitution. A horrifically exploitative and harmful industry full of traumatised, desperate women being abused for entertainment. Even if you think consent can be bought (I don't) you know a lot of women there are straight up being controlled and pimped out. No grey area, sexual slavery. And porn is not fake, those are real women with real lives and real pain.

You know this is happening. But you think you can tell which women aren't in that situation? What, because they signed something or put on a fake smile and said they love it? Because a pimped out woman would never sign something saying they were there of their own free will? No, if you watch porn you are happy to masturbate to footage that you know could be straight up rape. You choose to ignore it because you think your orgasm is so very important that you have lost your normal human decency.

And OP doesn't understand why people who behave this way are morally repugnant?

Agree with @VitaminX
It’s abusive. That’s why I don’t like porn.

A brave subject to raise by the OP, unless they naively felt this would not stir the Harpies among MN out in force.

There is an irony in this that many women state how porn exploits women but its omitted that women in porn are typically paid between 2 - 4 x more than male actors. This aside, it seems like a lot of porn promotes unhealthy sexual dynamics which some have noted on here can have a corrosive effect on younger audiences, which I would agree with in many ways.

No doubt a percentage of women entering porn have issues and a percentage enter it without any issues, the details on this will likely always be murky. It may likely be a similar number of men have similar issues but this doesn't get raised.
