Is it inappropriate that my bf 'likes' Insta pics of p*rn stars??

[PuD19]

I've seen that he does this. I know he occasionally watches p*rn (I do too) and I trust him to never cheat.

But is liking pics wrong? I said to him about it and he said he'd stop if I am bothered by it, but did say "you know I'd never actually do anything". It was brushed off as harmless. Thoughts?

Yes. Disrespectful. One thing watching it another searching them up.

You really have to ask?

You're allowed to type 'porn' on Mumsnet.

It's inappropriate to you and I guess that's what matters, not how others feel.

If he's offered to stop liking the pics, take him up on it.

If he wolf whistled at a random attractive woman in the street would you be OK with it? To me the whole 'liking" thing on SM is similar, it's there for all to see. I wouldn't (and haven't) accepted it but lots of woman will be all "boys will be boys'' about it.

Nothing out of the ordinary, at least he makes no secret of it. What difference if its porn star, insta whore or A list celeb?

Well it's up to you really. Nobody gets to tell you what you find disrespectful in a relationship. It would be a dumpable offence for me, partly because of how unethical and grim the porn industry is, and partly because (in MN parlance) it would give me 'the ick'. Massively. Just a scummy, tacky thing to do.

Yeah. No. He's a boyfriend and clearly not husband material.

Well personally I would find this unacceptable. But I find porn unacceptable.
I feel given you are happy for him to watch porn and you watch it yourself I find you being upset by him liking the Instagram pictures a total double standard.

Decide where your boundary is and take it from there

It's grim if you ask me

What is the difference?He is using other women for sexual gratification whether he watches porn or likes their images?
OP is fine with him watching porn so why object to him looking at their pictures and " liking" them?. She knows he finds them attractive anyway.

@Shineabrightlight I totally agree. I'm
Against porn but I know others aren't. For me I'd have left him at that but each to their own.
