To feel uncomfortable watching...

TV shows and movies with my boyfriend that contain nudity and sex scenes?

We watched the Wolf of Wall Street, for example, and I hated how much he seemed to enjoy it - no doubt for all the sex and Margot Robbie 🙄. He also seems to get a buzz from Naked Attraction, and makes comments. It makes me feel jealous and inferior when he says celebs are hot etc.

Does anyone else feel this way or am I crazily jealous and insecure? We’re both early thirties for context.

Nah I feel like this too. But why are you watching crap like naked attraction for God's sake!!!

He watches it Hmm I’d rather not.

Why would you feel threatened? Is he going to leave you for them?
My husband is with me for more than sex or how I look, him finding someone attractive does not threaten our relationship.

So don't?

I don’t worry he’s going to leave me, no. But I find it disrespectful that he seems to enjoy watching naked women. He “likes” pics of women on Instagram who he claims are famous so it doesn’t matter, but in reality they’re below z-list status such as those two blond waitresses on First Dates for example.

If he watches Naked Attraction and enjoys it, you need to think about your relationship with him.

I suppose it is a little insecure, but I know where you're coming from. I feel myself get a bit if a cobb on when my partner says "ohhh she's fit!" but then I give my head a wobble and realise I say similar things about men on TV. I really would try not to let it get to you too much, and maybe you chose the films for a while!

I just find those scenes boring. Up there with drawn out fight scenes and car chases. Script writers day off.

I voted YABU as he is in his early 30s and enjoys watching sex scenes in films! (Are there any men that dont?! ) He isnt going to run off with them! Do you enjoy watching hot young men as well?
