To think you can judge a man by what porn he looks at?

For example some men look at videos, extreme porn. While some look at images only of woman by themselves. Does it depend on the man?

I prefer to judge men by their socks. Avoid men who wear novelty socks.

Well very often, no one will witness which porn he watches, so how can he be judged? If a guy has a nappy kink, he might not share that with anyone 🤷‍♀️

Yes socks are a better way to judge. And shoes, shoes say a lot.

I judge men who watch porn, full stop.

Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed · 18/03/2021 21:53

If you asked your partner or a potential bf. Would it change your opinion of them?

I tend to judge a man by his personality and how well he treats people. But that might just be me... 🤷‍♀️

Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed · 18/03/2021 21:54

Does this apply to woman? I love novelty socks 😃

Judge them in what way?

doodleygirl · 18/03/2021 21:54

Please tell me this is a joke? If not this is one of the saddest threads I have seen.

Dnadoon · 18/03/2021 21:55

Yes I would judge OP, trust your instincts.

AppleKatie · 18/03/2021 21:55

I would judge a man who shared with my the type of porn he watches yes.

It’s hardly something you would expect to know about your acquaintances is it?

Same. I want no part of the industry even several steps removed. I would judge any one who watched porn.
Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed · 18/03/2021 22:03

I think it's realistic that most men watch porn. So would you automatically leave if you found they watch it? Have you ever asked them?

I can't pretend to be an expert in this, but to try and answer your question of whether you can judge a man by what sort of porn he watches: (first of all, how do you know?), but then (oh god, how does one even describe this?)

Is it representing happy and consenting sex between two (or more) adults? Then probably normal, if distasteful to many people.

Is it illegal / abusive / age inappropriate / forced in any way? Then no.

No to the first question, yes to the second.

Yes

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 18/03/2021 22:16

Well, my exh looked at very exoticising porn about a particular ethnic group when we were together- found it embarrassingly when I took the laptop into PC world!

Since the separation (now divorce) all his girlfriends, and now his fiancée with whom he has a child, are from the same ethnic group (to which neither he nor I belong, but his sister does Shock )

I do find this a bit odd and if I were his fiancée I would not like it if I knew about the porn!

Easterbunnygettingready · 18/03/2021 22:18

I judge a man on whether he likes ddogs!!

mediumduboir · 18/03/2021 22:18

If I was judged on porn watching ppl would think I was a lesbian 🤷‍♀️

JustAddCoffee91 · 18/03/2021 22:19

This thread has made me chuckle
My BIL lived with us a while back and he was great... until one morning I walked downstairs to "hot scratching videos" playing on the tv and he's there with his knob hanging out... nearly died from the shock!
It was literally a woman scratching herself... he had to go I'm afraid 😂

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this 😂

JustAddCoffee91 · 18/03/2021 22:24

@LucieStar honestly I still break out in a cold sweat thinking about it!... I mean I try not too but it's one of those things that never leaves you and creeps out in the middle of the worst nightmares 😂

Oh that’s brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

converseandjeans · 18/03/2021 22:25

I don't think I would want to be with a partner who watched violent porn, rape scenes, S&M etc.

dotdashdashdash · 18/03/2021 22:28

I know DH watches porn, I don't know what sort he prefers, but knowing him as a person, I'd bet my life there's nothing extreme or violent. I don't care that he watches porn and I don't want to know the details, I don't like watching porn so it's not something I need to know!
