Partner following only fans girls on social media

Am I being unreasonable to be upset by this....

The other day I somehow got the feeling to look through my partners following list on insta and noticed hes following a few bikini models but one recent only fans model who has links to her snapchat and all of her pictures or vids are her in bikinis/underwear posing suggestively, sucking bananas etc etc. Im quite an open person dont mind following celebrity crushes or him watching porn etc we have actually watched it together but this has really bothered me and I certainly dont follow only fans males with their tops off and bulges hanging out! I did confront him and he initially didnt see an issue and when I asked why he followed her I intially got 2 diff stories one was she come up on his for you page and the other was that his pal showed him and said follow her (massive ick given they are grown men not teenagers). He basically said he didnt know why he followed her and then he liked her boobs so thats why but he doesnt interact with her so doesnt think its an issue. He also admitted he started following her whilst in a relationahip with me. He has lied in the past about an ex on social media (I add the term ex losely basically a girl he would snapchat and send pictures too) who he told me he deleted (she kept messaging him) but then he was still friends with her and gave me conflicting stories about deleting her, adding her back because he felt bad. He is always on his phone and on snapchat which I also find an ick to be honest as to me thats what teenagers use but its up to him. Its just made me paranoid if thats what I have seen what havent I. Its also made me feel really self concious and horrible which I do get is my insecurity. Hes stopped following these accounts but its got me thinking really who am I to question who be follows and am I being unreasonable and controlling? Is this just typical men behaviour?

You have a very valid point and to be honest I dont know why an only fans model has bothered me so much but it just has. I wish I could help how I feel I really do.

I think it's different because there is no actual interaction when watching porn, whereas with only fans there is a connection. Just tell him he can go back to normal porn and bloody grow up

It’s so weird to me that people are all ‘oh porn is fine but if the woman in the porn exists as an actual human being then I have issues with it.’

The reality is you’re fine with him/you objectifying women but now she’s there on Instagram and there’s possibility of interaction, you feel threatened.

You need to examine your morals.

People have been watching porn for centuries. It's nothing to do with morals. It's a personal choice.

Yep, you have made a rod for your own back here. If it makes no sense to you why you feel differently about this than other ‘porn’ use, how is it supposed to make sense to him?
You can’t ever be justified in your complaint when you are picking and choosing so randomly.

For me, I’d hate all of this, so wouldn’t be a good match for your DP. Only you can decide if you feel you are!
