So I asked my DH if he watches porn this morning
I dunno why just curious I suppose
Plus I've seen it on his phone years ago just wondering if he still does watch it
He said not really
I said well yes or no
He sed well not often
I said ok.
End of convo
I dont really give a shit tbh
But I have this feeling in my mind
Should I care?
He's wanking over skinny hot girls
And I had a baby 4 weeks ago
Like I feel like I should be botherd but I'm just not .....

often

Whataboutery is not a justification.

Nope.
Not bothered personally. Though I wouldn't want to walk in on him doing that.

We both had to be realistic in that, of course we still want to have sex together but with a baby/toddler it's just not possible whenever we want it.

So... We do what we mist to ease the frustration and get on with our lives 😂😂 (yes, I watch it too)

You probably feel more bothered as you are post partum and more hormonal than normal.

Porn doesn’t bother me in the slightest, I look at it myself.

So the answer to your partnerwatching porn is to get your nails done according to December 2018 who surely needs to re name herself December 1918. Or 1818.
Give me strength

Well Donald Duck...
I'm not saying that's the answer but it sure wouldn't do any harm maybe feeling a little better about yourself after giving birth and your body going thru drastic changes...
fucking pipe down!

Ohh and by the way 2018 is when my son was born... so Just calm yourself down 😂

I get what Dec2018 means. When I get nails done it does make me feel better about myself. Not because they are pretty, but because i took care of myself and treated myself.

Same like when people go to gym (when they like gym). Or when they go and learn new skill or study.

It's about doing something for yourself. And nails are actually one of the easiest things.

He’s a man. It’s what men do. And it’s not all skinny girls either.

Personally, it sends me to sleep.

I have no concern about a man getting off this way, porn is acting, it’s how they interact in the real world that counts.

As for ethics, there are probably as many ethical issues about the cheap chainshop jeans and the expensive designer skirt hanging up in my wardrobe..

DonaldTwain · 24/02/2019 07:40

I think it’s called displacement activity. Deal with the real problem.

You have a low opinion of men.

Certainly, there are ethical issues with many things, and it’s good that you recognise that. As well as the exploitation of women (and I think there is something particularly perverse about getting sexual gratification by watching a woman that might be being exploited...it’s not possible to tell, and if she isn’t, plenty of other women are) how do you feel about the fact the vast majority of porn completely normalises violence against women? That “forced...whatever” and “teen..whatever” are a huge part of even “mainstream” porn sites like pornhub. There are many, many other issues.

It’s not just “what men do” in a vacuum.
