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?

Its not just men that watch porn

And i dont think what people watch is indicative of them as a person.

Some of the porn i watch isnt something i would want to be public knowledge, but its ok, as nobody asks me so it stays private.

I used to think you could. I was pretty horrified when I saw DH watched step sister/brother porn and such like but it's just fantasy...the actors aren't actually related. I watch a lot of anal, threesome, lesbian porn...it's not reflective of the kind if sex I want to have all the time.

[quote JustAddCoffee91]@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 😂[/quote]

I can imagine! It's not a situation I'd be wanting to find my own BIL in 😳😂

Oodilallygolly · 18/03/2021 22:47

To be honest, I wouldn’t want to know what porn my partner watches. It’s very personal

Imnotdoingthis · 18/03/2021 22:47

I find it scary that we can’t ever really know or know what goes on inside peoples heads? If I knew dp was watching rape or s&m etc I’d be devastated and wouldn’t want to be with him..but I just don’t know for sure, do any of us 🤷🏻‍♀️
The only times I ever used to see his history come up it was all big boobs and blow jobs, which I feel is not so bad. History never shows anything so I’m not sure if it’s being hidden somehow or he doesn’t watch anymore

Imnotdoingthis · 18/03/2021 22:48

I really hate the way all these porn threads are slipping onto this board as regular topics of discussion.

I pity the women who's bars are set so low that they are more than happy for their life partners/fathers of their daughters, watch women getting fucked up their arses for sexual gratification.

And the way these women scoff at others who say their husbands dont watch it, like we're deluded morons.

Well laugh away. I know 100% that I am married to a man who thinks the objectification of women needs to stop. And if you choose not to believe me because you/your partner like to wank over this kind of stuff, I couldn't give a fuck really. Crack on.

But I really don't feel as though it should be a normal, everybody topic of conversation.

Nandakanda · 18/03/2021 22:54

What about men who don't watch porn, or find it boring? Or those who just prefer sex with an actual woman?

The mn assumption that all men watch porn is incredibly insulting to men.

LucieStar · 18/03/2021 22:54

Who on this thread has done that?

IAmStrange · 18/03/2021 22:56

Does the same apply to women?
So if I told you the sort of porn I like to watch when I (infrequently) watch it, do you think you can judge the type of person I am, or would you just judge me full stop?!

chipsandgin · 18/03/2021 22:56

I judge men who watch porn, I think it shows a massive lack of imagination & I like imagination in a man.

I also agree regarding novelty socks, similar issue, although in the case of socks it screams lack of personality.

So basically I like men with a personality & a bit of imagination...plus ideally some moral integrity...so yep judging I’m on the porn in general thing, if you are having to worry about what ‘type’ it is then run for the fucking hills >>>

I don't think you can judge the entirety of any person on this one facet alone. Humans are after all complex and much more than the sum total of their porn consumption.

AmandaHoldensLips · 18/03/2021 22:59

Fuck sake.

Men being obsessed with watching porn. It's totally ew.

Personally, I am obsessed with watching cat videos. I am comfortable with my cat video habit. No cat mating rituals or perversions are involved in the videos I like to watch.

pumpkinpie01 · 19/03/2021 07:03

Yes I would - if he was watching rape , step dad & daughter ,violence etc

Yep. Anyone else noticed an influx this week of porn apologists?
NameChangedForThisFeb21 · 19/03/2021 07:06

You ask a lot of questions, expecting a personal answer from posters without giving anything about your own views away. What’s that about?

CreosoteQueen · 19/03/2021 07:29

I have met many men in my life and never once have I had the smallest inkling as to what porn, if any, he watches. When would this conversation even happen?!

Porn is vile. I'll judge any man or woman who watches it, thus contributing to the abuse and trafficking of women and children all over the world. No.

Absolutely. Would quite happily rather be single than have anything romantically or sexually to do with a porn user. Luckily DH finds it even more abhorrent than I do and frequently speaks out about the damage it does to both men and women.

Yep. I judge because it all contributes to the objectification of (mostly women because that's how porn works) people. Human trafficking, child kidnap, etc Your mild/vanilla bit of porn, if it is, contributes to the child abuse, animal abuse and more.
Naunet · 19/03/2021 08:17

Yep, I would. If he gets hard when watching a woman being choked, then he’s not the sort of man I want near me.

LucieStar · 19/03/2021 08:21

Oh I misread the OP.. would I judge by the type of porn he watches? Yes I would, as obviously there is huge variation in types of porn. Anyone watching something that depicts violence or abuse of any type I'd find abhorrent.
