YABU i dont see the problem as long as its not in place of a sexual relationship with you

sugarmatches · 21/01/2008 16:19

Um. I hope I did not confuse making sweet, sweet love with wanking!

Sorry, I got a bit confused what wantslots was alluding to.

Gets him to stop bothering you, myself I don't want that but many do.

VictorianSqualor · 21/01/2008 16:40

Even those who don't have a problem with porn and are happy for their dh/p#s to watch it, how is she being unreasonable for not wanting him to???

I don't have a huge problem with porn but I'd prefer DP not to watch it, that's my prerogative surely?

What would be unreasonable would be the OP going off ehr head calling him a pervert etc because of it, but not just disliking it, you can't help the way some things make you feel.

mosschops30 · 21/01/2008 16:47

VS the OP is asking whether she is being unreasonable not wanting him to watch it?

So we are answering that question.

If you dont like the answers that may come then dont post

sugarmatches · 21/01/2008 16:50

Dh told me he wanks in the shower sometimes and I was devastated.
I don't even ask about porn, but I guess I wouldn't mind. The minute he tries to put a paper bag with a photo of Pamela Anderson glued on over my head during sex, I may change my position!

VictorianSqualor · 21/01/2008 17:01

If I don't like the answers don't post?
Who died and made you MN police?

I'm amking a point, a valid one, that isn;t based on porn itself, but her feelings which IMO are bloody important no matter what you think about porn.

Just because you don't see a problem with him watching it doesn't mean she is urneasonable to feel that way herself.

BITCAT · 21/01/2008 17:03

I think each to there own, i don't like it and i don't really need it to be honest but if thats what floats my dhs boat then so be it. You wouldn't be happy if he told you that you couldn't watch something, if you have a man in your life i think it's just something we have to live with.

BITCAT · 21/01/2008 17:05

You are not unreasonable to feel that way but it may be unreasonable to expect him to feel that way after all he is a man!!

Twiglett · 21/01/2008 17:06

I don't have an issue with porn

so would never stop anyone else watching it

yes I think yab ( a bit) u

mosschops30 · 21/01/2008 17:10

anger management anyone?

MordecaiAllieVonAllenOShea · 21/01/2008 17:12

I think it's pretty normal, but understand why you feel uncomfortable with it.

That's a difficult on isn't it? there's nothing actually wrong with it, but you just don't like it, so should he stop? is that reasonable?

Not sure TBH.

VictorianSqualor · 21/01/2008 17:12

Anger management???
My original post was perfectly calm, it was you that got your knickers in a twist about me posting.

Jeez, makes you wonder why you're so touchy on a porn subject.

If it interferes with your relationship - ie it makes him treat you differently, want you to do things that you don't want to - then I think porn is a problem.

To be honest, I think it is a problem anyway because it degrades women and makes them into objects. [dives for cover]

Love the idea of feeling 'touchy about porn'

lllllloooooolllllll

MordecaiAllieVonAllenOShea · 21/01/2008 17:22

I think it's quite normal for men to want to look at porn, BUT for some reason I still don't feel comfortable with it.

In this case would it be reasonable to ask him to not doing something which is actually normal just beacuse I don't like it?

What if I didn't like him going out with his friends, or somethng else vaguely comparble, which is within the realms of harmless and normal, but for some reason I didn't like it.

How far can you take that in a realtionship?

pointydog · 21/01/2008 17:23

Can you go out one night a week for a while to do a hobby or something and then dh's porn watching need never trouble you

VictorianSqualor · 21/01/2008 17:25

Certainly could've worded that better!

ScarletA · 21/01/2008 17:33
