To not like my partner following random women online?

I've just discovered my partner recently following on Facebook a pornstar type page. It's quite upset me, he's not single and in his 20s! Am I being unreasonable? It has kind of put me off him, I haven't said anything to him yet

You're allowed to have deal breakers. It would be a deal breaker for me too. It shows that he objectifies women, which means he will likely not treat you well. It also shows he has a roving eye. When the eye roves, the dick often follows. I'd dump him.

It would be a problem for me too. That's not the type of guy I want.

It's a very, very common issue with men of all ages these days. You only have to read Mumsnet. Phones and the internet have given men an instant porn/affair device any time they like. It's so easy for them. They're willing to risk 30 years of marriage for a cheap thrill.

No real answers except to say that I wouldn't be happy with it and I don't think most women would.

Yes and if you mention it he might unfollow, but likely will still be searching and watching anyway.

Well, has he messaged these porn stars, or is he just perusing the content? Men have eyes and usually think with their wood; therefore, they will look at porn. My husband watches porn sometimes, but it doesn't bother me as we have regularly have sex. If anything, he does me a favour by watching porn when I'm not in the mood, especially if I'm on my period.

If porn/sexual content is a dealbreaker for you then I'd finish the relationship. It's up to you what boundaries you have in your relationship.

I have got no idea whatsoever who anyone I know follows on social media. Have you thought about getting a hobby?

Why did you revive a random dead thread to defend men who follow porn on Facebook?

And I can point out any useless posts I wish.

Brilliant. I’m happy for you.
