Having read an article in the papers re some supermarkets putting plastic covers over near semi-porno magazines such as Fhm, Nuts etc and all the semi naked women found on the Daily Mail website, it reminded me how demoralising I feel when I find that dh has been looking at these types of images.

He doesn't buy the magazines etc, but I have found these websites on the Internet history. Not hardcore porn, just semi-naked women. I found it particularly upsetting in the months after I had given birth, when my focus was on recovery and breastfeeding and adapting to a new addition. Dh looking at such images is a real confidence knocker.

This was a while back now, but how would you all feel about your dh lo

Looking at these images. Is it normal? Childish? Insensitive? Or just a thing that men do?

Have you ever told your DH how you feel? Nudity is fairly ubiquitous, many people see it as harmless titillation and, if you've never said 'I'd rather you didn't, there's probably an assumption that you're OK with it. If you have said 'I'd rather you didn't' and he carried on regardless then, yes he'd be extremely insensitive and disrespectful of your feelings.

Not all men do it.

If this is your first child (so older kids wouldn't see) would you consider putting semi-naked pictures of fit footballers and movie stars on the fridge where uour DH will notice them? If he asks why they are there just tell him you need a little motivation to lose the lsst of the baby weight. See his reaction and take it from there.
