Partner’s porn choices disgust me

Its crazy because I never thought this would be an issue for me but I was wrong. I knew that my DP watched porn and I generally don’t have an issue with it (I’ll even watch some myself at times). He’s never made a secret of it either, but it’s nothing we really discussed much because I don’t share his interests there.
The problem is I saw some seriously disgusting stuff on his phone and kept scrolling and I can’t unsee it now. There was one video with over 1000 comments and lots of people there even asked how the fuck this was legal and on a porn site because that’s how wrong it looked. It’s all legal and legit but seriously creepy and I’m more than disgusted for a variety of reasons. He doesn’t get it at all.
I don’t think I can just put this aside and I’m so upset.

That surely depends on the porn you watch. I watched some the other day involving a very well established porn star... 100% sure she hadn't been trafficked!

Most of the autobiographies written years later by ‘household name’ type porn stars do end up revealing all sorts of abuse and coercion, often beginning with family abuse.

@harerunner "That surely depends on the porn you watch. I watched some the other day involving a very well established porn star... 100% sure she hadn't been trafficked!"

Are you sure? How? Are you sure she isn't being coerced? Feeding a habit? Suffering damage to her body?

You could ask the same questions about many professions/ industries.And sorry..someone who feeds their habit has a choice.

Sorry, are you as ignorant as you pretend to be?

Why the personal attack?

@Coshei what an incredibly depressing mindset.

@Coshei "You could ask the same questions about many professions/ industries."

Yes I could. And I do.

Why the personal attack?

To say that a prostitute's or porn actress' need to take drugs to get through her day/night is a personal choice is either the height of ignorance or the height of cynicism.

Like said on here some women have an exceptionally low bar. Up to them to tolerate it though.

That’s not what the poster said though. You are shifting the goal post.
