AIBU partner and "Porn"

I've name changed for this, please work my SIL's use this!!
Anyhows, I borrowed DP's laptop today for work (With prior knowledge and consent,mines got a virus) When I typed "C" into google search a website came up. It had a name that was pretty obvious to be porn linked. I clicked on it and found that it was a webcam sex chat site. I'm not sure if these girls are being paid or if they're your average women on there for fun, if that makes a difference. between january- 12th of this month dp visited this website 268 times and has spoken to 53 different women (on the history it was saying "Chatting with Jane smith!" for every chat window he had open with someone) we do not have children yet but i am pregnant with our first(first trimester) we've always had an active sex life (At least once a day most days) this has not changed. We never have sex less than 5 times a week (Sorry for TMI just trying to give all background) I'm aware he has used porn before and does every so often on the rare occasion that im not in the mood or the verrrrrry rare times he works away, once every 2-3 months or so.
AIBU to be really upset?
In your opinion what is "this"? what I mean by that is, i'm on the fence, on one hand it seems alot more intimate than porn as he can talk to and interact with these women as opposed to just watching but on the other he hasn't physically done anything with them....

I would write it down and let him read it, then talk when he has had time to digest your pov

if the 'C' you typed in.brought up Chaterbate, I'd be fuming. It's a website of regular girls who get paid coins or points or something of some sort by people who watch them 'perform'. Not sure if the coins have to be bought though. I only know this as had the same thing with an ex.

Neither porn nor webcams are acceptable to me so I'd be furious.

Me too. Perhaps not furious, but resolute.

I do get very upset by my dh watching porn, and although I have told him how upset it makes me, I know he still does it as often on his open browser history if I borrow his laptop (I always ask first, never snoop, and never go further into history). I now have a real hatred of his laptop as it reminds me!! My problem is not sexual content, it is that I don't know what he is watching and he doesn't talk about sex. It is great when we have it but since being pregnant with dd 3 years ago I have felt quite sexually abandoned. If I was really happy with our real sex life I would be more relaxed about porn. I once looked at one of the sites I had seen on his history and found it really crass and cringey and plastic and now it bothers me even more. I realise we have some communication work to do... I do resent it being seen as something women should be cool about. I am not prudish and have the higher sex drive of us two usually, so it isn't as if I am not wanting sex and saying I don't want him to use porn, it is that I want the sexual attention.
Webcam sites would make me pretty distraught, I am impressed by how balanced you are being. Because porn can be addictive, this could be an escalation that is about keeping the level of arousal, rather than wanting to betray you in any way. The Internet takes advantage of how our brains are wired.
Good luck with talking about it xx

I would LTB.

You are pregnant with his child and he is wanking and chatting with our women online? Disgusting. He has no respect for you. I would be worried about how this will escalate once baby is here and you can't have sex every day.

What's the difference between webcamming and him having sexual encounters with an ex or a woman he met through work? Not only is he gaining sexually pleasure from another woman, it's to the detriment of your relationship, sexual or otherwise, it's an emotional affair.
