Caught my boyfriend looking at naked women whilst I was there...

Me and my partner have a great sex life and even when we aren't together we are constantly sexting etc.. so naturally I had no concerns he was seeking enjoyment elsewhere.

One Sunday morning I we were making out and the door bell went so I had to go sort that out.. I came back and he was on his laptop doing work so naturally I just got on with some stuff I needed to do. An hour or so later I went back in the room and he opened his internet up and I just happened to look over to see some very very provocative images of naked women on Google images. I asked what it was and he said he was aroused because of us making out so he went on Google. He has loads of pics of me so it really hurt me but what hurt more is that he done that in my presence. He doesn't understand what's wrong with it and did not think there would be an issue. He also said it has nothing to do with his attraction for me. I have adhd so reallt struggle with emotional dysregulation. We forgot about it and the thoughts intermittently come back. He can't explain why he did it and it hurts because if we have sex (we did the night before which he claimed was the best we ever had) so often why would he feel the need to look at someone else like that? Giving those circumstances :( feel like I won't ever forget it and he will do it again. I have spoken to him and says it hurts me and he said he won't do it again but I have previous trauma from the past so I can't just believe someone.

Sorry that you are hurting, but the pictures he has of you: it doesn’t have you face in any of them do they?
You aren’t recognizable, right?

I don’t mean to preach you or anything, but a lot of guys download or share nudes of the women they date / hook-up with. And revenge porn is only growing.

Again, sorry for you problem, I hope someone smarter will help you on that.
But, please, please. Have your partner delete (cloud including) photos/videos of you.
It’s so dangerous, shouldn’t be, but it is.
And if he still looks others, there isin’t much point of your pictures, isin’t there.

YouAreNotBatman · 10/03/2023 13:39

Also to add.
Please don’t have sex you don’t want or to keep a man or make him happy or out of fear he’ll find someone else.
You are worth so much more than being a man’s sex doll.

I have trust in him that he's not like that. We've been dating a while. I've been very cautious in the past with ex's and I have pictures of him too.

I would hate this too op, I'd rather be single for ever than have to put up with stuff like that

Doubtless he will say you're overreacting and some of the cool girls on here might as well.

I would hate this. Its just so disrespectful and immature. You deserve better than to have a man make you feel like this.

I would second what a previous poster said regarding racy pictures. You simply cannot trust most men with naked pictures of you. You don't know where they might end up!

This seems to have been posted twice? What are we saying? So in my relationship the only time I'm permitted to orgasm is if I'm having sex with my husband or looking at photos of my husband? I'm not permitted to get out my toys and get myself off ever whilst fantasizing about a celeb crush or scenario? Are we living in the 19th century or something?

The OP is saying her b/f was looking at porn *aka very very provocative images of naked women) when she was there. Its not fantasizing over a celebrity crush.

The point I'm actually trying to make is that he did this whilst I was there... I left the room for 5 minutes.

This.

Penguinsmum · 10/03/2023 21:41

Mmm he wouldn't be for me. I'd rather look for a new partner that wasn't like that

newforest1 · 10/03/2023 22:00

What u gonna do op?

Aussiegirl123456 · 10/03/2023 22:19

Looking is one thing, pretty much all humans notice and look at other attractive humans.

But googling naked women while you’re there? Yeah no! Wouldn’t be something I’d take laying down. It’s just disrespectful. I’d never in a million years think it would be a good move to Google naked men while my husband was with me in the room. While he’s at work, yeah maybe(!) unlikely not though as I’m not visually aroused.

Same with him. What he looks at in private is not my business, but in my presence, I wouldn’t be happy.

How is he otherwise?

I am just concerned that you have this mindset that the more sex you give him, the less likely he will look elsewhere. Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. Some men are just disrespectful and entitled, could get sex hourly at home but want more from someone else. Some men ‘get’ no sex at home yet are still loyal. His behaviour isn’t about you, it’s about him.

Big cuddle x

Our relationship is great and we have so much chemistry and intimacy. We were making out and I left for a moment. I just thought if it were me who aroused him then why wouldn't he wait for me to return instead of looking at other women....

Thank you xxx

OneMoreCookieMonster · 10/03/2023 22:33

How old are you both? Its seems ery strange that he would do that and not even try to hide it. Why didn't he just wait for you? Do you live together? Or is it still a new relationship?

Sympath4thedevil · 11/03/2023 00:33

The OP wasn't in the room though when he was googling images? She'd got up, came back and he was working, an hour later she came back and saw the images? Where does it say he was googling in her presence? And who knows why he didnt wait, maybe he just wanted a quick release and not sex? It might be weird, however saying that there have been times when my DP is in the house and ive had a quick play rather than seeking out sex with him. It happens.

Its just odd some of the replies, basically masturbating is wrong unless it involves thinking of your partner or looking at photos of your partner, and god help you if your partner is home but you dare to have a quick play rather than have sex with them. Someone mentioned men use visual aids whilst women its more mental, agree to some extent, however in that case we're all ok to have our partners forbid us to fantasize or have sexual thoughts that dont involve them? Its disrespectful and gross right? This isn't directed so much at the op, more at some of the bizarre comments! I guess we should all throw our toys in the bin whilst we're at it, and never have an orgasm again unless we're having sex with our partners or looking at their photos?

It's funny as there was a post not long ago about some posters dh thinking it was cheating she had a toy, and it was all red flags! And he doesn't own your body! Etc. If my partner forbade me from getting off or having sexual thoughts that didn't involve him id tell him where to go! And if we're being honest every poster would feel the same. My body, i dont owe any man anything, sorry, and same goes for my partner too, I'm not going to ban him from masturbating whether im in the house or not, and if i want to get off solo i will do, without asking his permission.

NomadicSpirit · 11/03/2023 19:36

@Sympath4thedevil Okay, we get it you're happy with your husband looking at porn and jacking off, the OP isn't.

Sympath4thedevil · 12/03/2023 01:44

@NomadicSpirit no i just think its a bit much that if youre in a relationship you're apparently not allowed to get yourself off?
I mean clearly we all do, so its super hypocritical really how outraged we all are.
