Is watching porn at work really a common thing?

My husband watches porn and I'm fine with it.
However, he told me that he also sometimes watches it in the bathroom at work and it made me wonder if it was symptomatic of something more serious?

Is it really a thing that people commonly? I'd think the environment itself wouldn't put someone in the mood and the fear of getting caught would turn them off but clearly I'm wrong.

We barely have sex so I wonder if it's because he lost attraction to me. I'm pregnant with our second child, so admittedly don't look like I did before.

I was watching a movie and the opening scene was a man watching porn at work and getting caught by his colleague, his colleague pities him and tells him he must be miserable in his marriage and stupid as it is it made me start to question things too

Thank you

can't get my head around wanking in the work loos. Just seems really grim and inappropriate. They're hardly private.

that’s the point. It’s the thrill

So disgusting. It's why I never shake hands with people at work anymore.

People wank outside of work you know ... Every man you meet could potentially have knocked one out minutes beforehand and not bothered to clean his hands 😂

Which is why I tend not to touch any of them.

We found out during the pandemic that men seldom wash their hands.

It does sound as if he's got an issue, however I'm sure it's not unheard of for a man to have wanked himself off at work.
I'm surprised by the number of people who know someone who got sacked for wanking off at work 🤣. Unless you're doing it at your desk (or wherever he works), I'm not sure how he's going to get caught.

He obviously gets off on telling you he's doing it and knowing it hurts you. I'm not sure why he can't just do it and not mention it? But I guess that's because he does have some sort of sexual issue.

I remember various research during the pandemic too, maybe not most men but it's true they're more likely not to than women.

On a separate but linked note, I’m always staggered by the number of ppl - men and women - who don’t wash their hands after going to the toilet! The stuff ppl have to handle while in there - poo, periods and they don’t wash their hands! If they’re not in there for that the previous ppl could have been and they’re touching the locks, flush and door handles straight after them then going out and touching stuff that other ppl are handling. No wonder so many ppl get ill!
