What's everyone's views on there man watching porn while pregnant?

OP posts:
DwangelaForever · 14/05/2018 17:57

I'd be more worried about my husband being pregnant tbh Grin.

Oj lol. I think it's fine, especially if you're not up to having sex yourself ...

hoopdeloop · 14/05/2018 17:57

i think it depends on your personal point of view on porn. My partners never bothered with it (as far as I know!) but I think I’d only be upset if he was watching it frequently and there was no intimacy with us. I’m 36 weeks though and have SPD so he has no chance and so I’d not be bothered. But like I say, it depends on your own standpoint with porn

PurpleDaisies · 14/05/2018 17:58

Why is it any different to any other time during your relationship? It would be a deal breaker for me. Others might have a different view.

Markygirl1995 · 14/05/2018 18:00

@PurpleDaisies I agree with you, I wouldn't want my partner too be watching it and if he does I don't want to know it would proper annoy me.

thetriangleisarealinstrument · 14/05/2018 18:05

It depends on what both of you are happy with. If youve asked him not to watch porn or told him it upsets you and he does it anyway then that is a problem. If hes watching it obsessively and you think hes avoiding having actual sex with you because of it, then that is a problem.

Personally it doesnt bother me. Im currently pregnant and I look at porn occassionally myself! (not videos if that makes any difference, but writing) So id not have a leg to stand on to tell my husband not to! Im not sure whether he does or doesnt. I doubt it to be honest. Our sex life is pretty good so I have no cause to ask him about it.

Stephisaur · 14/05/2018 18:06

It wouldn’t bother me if I wasn’t up for sex myself. If I was horny, I’d be annoyed!

Porn is pretty much a non-issue for me though, I appreciate everyone has different views on it.

Fucketynamechanged · 14/05/2018 18:14

I don't think porn is healthy as a substitute for a partner.

If I was normally ok with my partner watching porn. I'd still be ok with him watching it while I was pregnant.

If I wasn't normally ok with it, I would still not be ok with it while I was pregnant.

I think if it's used in place of a partner it could cause issues in the relationship. I don't think a pregnant woman should have to lump it because he "has needs" and she's not putting out. She also "has needs" like support during pregnancy

BubblesPls · 14/05/2018 18:48

It's just porn. I don't see any problem with it at all.

I would say the only time it's a problem is when you want to have sex and he refuses and then turns to porn.

Every guy masturbates and will need some inspo 😂

Gem173 · 14/05/2018 18:49

I let my partner watch it, I ain’t bothered. I try to provide intimacy as much as I can during pregnancy (atm it’s been like once a week) but if I’m not up to it then I don’t mind him going to sort himself out.

PityParty · 14/05/2018 18:55

I wouldn't mind

SamHeughansLeftEyebrow · 14/05/2018 18:58

Why would being pregnant change my view? I dislike porn, and would end a relationship with a man who used it.

ShowOfHands · 14/05/2018 19:12

Pregnancy is irrelevant. Porn is unacceptable to me at any time. Thankfully, DH agrees.

NoseTitZilla · 14/05/2018 20:05

Whatever the stance on it before must stand, imo. Although it would be incredibly difficult if you went from regular sex to nothing for 9 months which I can understand happens sometimes during difficult pregnancies where there are complications.

GuiltyFeminist · 14/05/2018 20:09

My DP had more sex during pregnancy as for some reason I was super horny. He would never watch porn though and didn't when I went off sex for a year after giving birth.
If there was porn which was not so violent and sexist, racist and generally disrespectful I might not mind so much but he is really not into that and finds it sad and tacky.

gryffen · 14/05/2018 20:11

SamHeughanslefteyebrow - some scenes in outlander are tasteful porn and your aware your username is actually a euphemism for wanting/fantasizing about his body lol

Anyway, porn doesn't bother me - I've actually showed hubby some better sites lol

Aw12345 · 14/05/2018 20:24

I would not be ok with DH watching porn at any time tbh, ESPECIALLY not whilst I was pregnant.

twistedpink · 14/05/2018 20:32

I told my partner if he wants to watch porn then go for it! Lol everyone has needs, my vaginas needs are not to be touched right now and he respects that 😂

If he wasn't a loving partner or whatever then I would maybe be pissed but he is a darling with lots of affection, porn isn't an issue for me at all.

lifechangesforever · 14/05/2018 20:34

Pregnant here too and DH is well aware he's getting nowhere near and hasn't for some time now (I'm 31 weeks). He gotta to do what he gotta do.. just keep me out of it! Grin

twistedpink · 14/05/2018 22:02

@lifechangesforever I just got out the shower and thought you know what... I'm 35 weeks but maybe I'll let him have some tonight, he said "do you think your up for it? You can't even get up the stairs" true statement. Sat eating a cornetto now!

And this is exactly what porn is for... my extra eating time haha

SamHeughansLeftEyebrow · 14/05/2018 22:19

Hahahaha. Eyebrows are on faces, not bodies. Being entertained a particular facial expression that an actor makes is not the same as watching porn.
Outlander is not porn either. If you think it is, you've been misled about what porn looks like.

ShowOfHands · 15/05/2018 10:03

LOL at Outlander being porn. I'm quite fascinated by the ever changing wigs in that programme. What am I fantasizing about?

BertrandRussell · 15/05/2018 10:06

It would be a deal breaker for me whether he was pregnant or not.

OP- don’t let him steamroller you. Men can happily live without having sex,. They can also wank without using porn.
