Do women ever like to watch porn

57 replies

It seems that lots of women on MN really have issues with DH watching porn.

However, do woman ever like to watch porn with DP?

I know a couple who recently split (she walked out on DH & DS who are both great guys). She used to be really into watching porn with DH.

If a married woman in her 30s/40s is ok to watch porn with DH, is her moral compass a bit off??

I think the enormous success of books like 50 Shades speaks volumes for the disconnect between what many women desire and what they think it is socially acceptable to say. Men in society are bombarded with the message to act like simpering wet drips and many think that this is the way to act to become attrative to women. Its no wonder so many more women are turning to porn to get their fix of strong dominant men.

Its such a mixed messsage that society is putting out.

I don't really watch porn for "strong dominant men". Not my thing, really.

Of course they do. Just like some women like marmite, line dancing and/or country music.

I like watching porn, marmite, line dancing and country music.

What does that say about my moral compass? Does the fact that I'm single make a difference?

LoisPuddingLane · 24/11/2014 12:58

I find watching marmite quite dull. I realise this means I have no moral compass.

Rockups- I'd say it's the other way round. Men, and young boys are watching porn and are getting the message that women must be shaven, subservient, and like it up the ass. They love being dp'd and dominated even when appearing to resist.

I do not, no way, no how, not ever, want rl partners to behave like those men in porn.

Ideally I prefer to watch porn where the woman is in charge and clearly enjoying it. It's rare these days though.

Tobyjugg · 24/11/2014 20:14

IneedAwittierNickname The fact you like marmite damns you for all time. The other stuff are just red herrings.

sparklecrates · 24/11/2014 20:26

Cats like licking marmite..

Windywinston · 24/11/2014 20:50

And their own arses. Cats are not generally fussy in their tastes Grin

Tobyjugg · 24/11/2014 20:52

Except when it comes to cat food.

MadeMan · 24/11/2014 20:57

"Cats like licking marmite.."

"And their own arses."

Maybe there is some correlation to be found there?

RoastitBubblyJocks · 24/11/2014 20:57

I sometimes look at porn photos online. Nothing vile, although I'm sure that's subjective, some may say my tame images are. I also like erotic stories. I read/ look at them alone.

DH does not use porn.

I love DH with all my heart, he's the best sex I've ever had. I would never cheat on him.

Confused Bit baffled by your OP really.

Moln · 24/11/2014 21:13

I don't get this, your OP doesn't make much sense.

Surely lots of women on MN appear to have issues with their partners watching porn because they have come here to seek advice about it, generally there aren't many threads that are titled: "I enjoy watching porn, and it causes no problems in my relationship". This simply results in a higher number of the negative viewpoint regarding porn. As someone up thread mentioned it's quite often the deception involved in the viewing that causes the problem rather than the actual porn.

BadLad · 24/11/2014 22:54

My wife watches it. I just find it a bit dull.

IneedAwittierNickname · 24/11/2014 23:03

Toby I'd rather be damned for all eternity than never eat marmite again Grin
I definitely do NOT lick my own arse though. Cats are vile. Actually cats are cute. They have vile habits. Wonder if they watch porn Confused

WineWineWine · 24/11/2014 23:28

I agree with joysmum
I am very picky about where I source it from, but I do enjoy some porn, with or without DH.

There is a problem when young teens use it as their reference guide to sex, which is why sex education in this country needs to be a whole load better.

Meerka · 25/11/2014 07:44

I'm with joysmum too.

The anti- porn brigade ride on such heavy steamrollers though that they end up pretty deeply alienating.

Tobyjugg · 25/11/2014 16:49

IneedAwittierNickname Sadly my DW thinks the same.

Tobyjugg · 25/11/2014 16:53

Don't know about cats watching porn, but they will jump on you - claws extended while you're DTD. [scream in agony emoticon]

Windywinston · 25/11/2014 18:49

One of our cats used to try to watch us DTD. Maybe he's got a porn habit we don't know about Confused

cambridgemumble · 25/11/2014 18:55

I love it, if I am in the right mood.
I am not sure it says anything about my moral compass.

Saying that, I do worry about my moral compass sometimes but I don't think it is related to my enjoyment of porn.

cindydog · 25/11/2014 18:56

OH not into porn, but he was rearing to go after watching the secretary.

cambridgemumble · 25/11/2014 19:24

We could even post our favourite scenes!

Arlagirl · 25/11/2014 19:47

There is a selection of erotica on Twitter.

Allegedly.
