Galaxy s5 users, Dh predictive txt prompting Youporn?

65 replies

quicknamechange3 · 21/09/2017 12:36

Dh has issues with porn, he’s lied to me and broken a huge deal of trust in our marriage as a consequence. Right now in our relationship the deal is no porn on his part until we are in a better place, regarding lying and trust etc. I have full access to his phone and was searching YouTube but his search bar prompted youporn.com. This phone is newly used by Dh and wouldn’t have any previous history stored. He swears he has no idea how it’s there and making me feel unreasonable to even question him. So can anyone knowledgeable ie Samsung galaxy users tell me does a galaxy phone automatically prompt a porn site?Hmm

This would suggest that it's his flipflop.

I don't think you can control what he watches. He's an adult.

ShowMePotatoSalad · 21/09/2017 12:54

Also even if you use incognito it will still save the web address as a predictive search term.

sharklovers · 21/09/2017 12:55

Hilarious! You might want to suggest using the private browsing feature in future!

quicknamechange3 · 21/09/2017 12:55

I didn’t post this to debate who or not loves porn, that’s been done and done on mn and not my question. Thanks to everyone with actual advice.

RileyFinn thank you!

HolyMerlot · 21/09/2017 12:58

Agree with binary above. That suggestion is not a suggested weblink but a predictive text stored in the phone itself based on what has been typed in on the keypad by the user. Sorry OP Flowers

justkeeponsmiling · 21/09/2017 12:58

Surely this is is not about controlling what another adult watches.
If one partner says to the other "I don't want to be with you if you watch porn" and the other partner says "ok then, I'll stop watching it" they have made the choice to give up porn and remain in the relationship. So if they then go back on their word and secretly keep watching it the other partner is well within their right to want to end the relationship.

quicknamechange3 · 21/09/2017 13:03

He’s an adult, he made a decision within our relationship and has then lied to me. Simple as.
For all the men and “cool” gfs, can you please leave it out. This is about trust and honesty in a marriage.

A lot of people here are confusing the browser auto complete and the keyboard auto complete.

OP knows this is the keyboard auto complete so is related to typing history. Not browsing history.

If the phone is newish to him, and was a fresh install (not taking history from the samsung account), then he has been typing that in. It doesn't cone up on my keyboard (not s5 but Samsung)

So likey he has been using incognito tabs and the keyboard has remembered. Exactly as you thought.

He may have written it in a text or email. E.g to a friend. But the likelihood is....

I have a galaxy phone, 2 android tablets and use Chrome as my web browser on my laptop. Google services synchronises pretty much everything between all my devices, favourites, search history, typed URLs and cached passwords. So I wouldn't rely on it being a new phone as conclusive proof that he's accessed that site recently. He should be able to show you his browser history if you want to check and chrome will show you history from any device as long as he's using Google Services.

DiegoMadonna · 21/09/2017 13:13

It's not a browser autocomplete. It's the keyboard. Meaning he has typed youpon.com on his phone more than any other word beginning with "yo..." (including the word you, so presumably that's a lot!)

HappyJohn · 21/09/2017 13:16

As a man who has looked at online porn for 20 years and has now stopped for 6months, here is my advice.

  1. It is an addiction or a compulsion. Looking at it doesnt mean he doesnt love you. It is in a separate part of his brain. But it does affect intimacy and how he will behave around you. He has a little fantasy life of his own.
  2. Carrying round any phone which can access the internet is for such a man the equivalent of an alcoholic with a bottle of whisky in his pocket. Or someone giving up smoking carrying a pack of fags.
  3. Lying to you is unacceptable.
  4. I think you should lay it on the line and force him to talk about it. I'm assuming he is doing it. He is probably very scared that you will be angry divorce him etc. Tell him this won't happen.
  5. It is a tough addiction to break. Sex Addicts Anonymous works for me, modelled on AA. But it takes real commitment. Most of us take years to realise that we are addicts (IE unable to stop) and a little bit longer before going to a meeting. Normally it is fear that the wife or girlfriend is leaving that gets us through the door.
  6. The best phone for someone like me is an old Nokia!
MadamePomfrey · 21/09/2017 13:21

I agree his probably lying to you but that is prefect I've text on the phone not google so it is possible it was learnt through typing in texts ect, it's very unlikely in my opinion but if his he has been talking about it in texts, messages etc it's possible the phone has learnt the world. Although I doubt that's it worth thinks about, if he's as good at lying as you think I imagine it will be the first thing he comes up with!

GemmaCollinsBabes · 21/09/2017 13:29

Did you mention what the consequences would be if he broke your agreement?

prh47bridge · 21/09/2017 13:32

If the phone was second hand it is possible the predictive text relates to a previous owner. However, I agree that the likelihood is that he has used the phone to visit Youporn,

FenceSitter01 · 21/09/2017 13:37

So long as he isnt paying for it, who cares what he is masterbating to?

Shoxfordian · 21/09/2017 13:51

Yeah he's lied to you

Sorry op

FoodGloriousFud · 21/09/2017 13:54

Obviously the OP does or she wouldn't have posted! It wouldn't particularly bother me either but it seems something the OP has strong feelings about.

PurpleMinionMummy · 21/09/2017 14:04

If a man has issues with porn it's pretty obvious he's not just having the occasional wank over it is he.

Rattail · 23/09/2017 23:12

I had this phone and comes up with stuff you have recently or frequently types on. SorryFlowers

intergalacticbrexitdisco · 23/09/2017 23:53

I had this phone and agree with rattail.

EamonnWright · 24/09/2017 00:00

He's looking at porn. I've still got an s6! It's up to you what to do but doing away with the relationship is mental.

SadTrombone · 24/09/2017 00:08

It is possible it has come from his old phone - sorry unsure how to do hyperlinks on here:
