Following porn stars on social media

Would you be upset if you found your oh was following around 50-100 porn stars on twitter.

not sure if I’m being completely unreasonable to feel super uncomfortable about this.its also slightly icky.

Yes I would 100% be upset. To want to follow and engage with content from 50-100 porn stars is a massive ick!

Endofyear · 07/12/2025 22:53

Yes I would 🤮

ForTipsyFinch · 07/12/2025 22:58

Yes I would be absolutely turned off by that. It’s the sort of thing a horny teenager would do. Cringey.

MarginWalker · 07/12/2025 23:05

Yes, definitely! Why is he following them, does he watch lots of porn?

pinkiestinky · 07/12/2025 23:37

Yes and would dump without a shadow

CraftyPlayer · 07/12/2025 23:40

How sleazy 🤢

APinkAndSpottyGiraffey · 08/12/2025 02:42

Slightly icky? Slightly? I’d be furious if my 15 year old son objectified women like this, let alone his father!

DH wouldn’t do this but to me I’d say this is a final warning and mean it situation, tell him it’s unacceptable and to delete that stuff or he can leave. Mean it and follow through.

dontbeabsurd · 08/12/2025 05:53

I’d immediately dump him. Gross, disrespectful, objectifying, self serving.

AmberSpy · 08/12/2025 06:56

It's grim and also a bit pathetic to be honest. I never understand why some people (read: almost always men) do this.

Imbrocator · 08/12/2025 09:30

Yes, really gross. Would not want to date a man who did this.

dobbylan · 08/12/2025 16:41

I follow 300 celebs or so - just a fan of their art form

Porn is art and they have fans too

dobbylan · 08/12/2025 16:42

all depends, are you okay with him watching porn? if so then no big deal because twitter means he gets his porn for free and not wasting money on it.

objectifying women?Not the majority, they are women who are proud of their work so focus on them also who willingly do it and are making 1million a year on of

Gasbox · 08/12/2025 16:50

Yes I would be upset because it would mean DH wasn't who I thought he was, I would feel deceived and like I was living with a stranger. I have purposely chosen to be with a man who doesn't objectify women in this way so it would be beyond upset or an 'ick' for me, I would be ending it.

PartyAnimalQueen · 08/12/2025 16:53

I follow a couple of male adult industry actors - I don’t watch their adult entertainment/OF but I do enjoy their TT/Ig content, it’s both funny and engaging and entertaining. If OH was following women for the same reason I wouldn’t mind 🤷🏼‍♀️

Very1 · 08/12/2025 17:31

I found something very similar recently by accident (60+ accounts) and was utterly blindsided by it. He’s never been into porn (or so I thought), we’ve been together for 25 years and no sign of anything before now. I honestly don’t know how to react so I’m currently sitting on it. Still quite shocked tbh.

AngelicKaty · 08/12/2025 17:56

@probabyinsecure Yes, I would be upset and I would ask him why he's following them.

Mrssweary · 08/12/2025 18:27

I personally wouldn’t be upset in the slightest,where else are they supposed to look can’t look at people in real life. I don’t see how it’s ok for women to look at men and follow them online but it’s not ok for men to follow women and look at them online….. I am however in that stage of life where I absolutely couldn’t give a fuck anymore. If it bothers you though you need to be telling your husband so that he knows it’s not ok with you.

Thedevilhasfinallycaughtupwithhim · 08/12/2025 18:30

Upset? Probably
Disgusted? Absolutely

PeriMumEndofHerTether · 08/12/2025 18:31

1 would be a deal breaker for me.

PInkyStarfish · 08/12/2025 19:27

The term ‘Porn Star’ in relation to women appears to give the job holder an air of glamour when in reality it’s someone who is a sex worker who is prepared to be filmed being penetrated in every hole and slurping on the penis of a man or men she only met that day.

If that’s what you r husband aspires to watching then poor you being stuck with such a soulless individual who views women as objects to be penetrated.

"Porn is art ..." - in your opinion (and that's not an opinion shared by everyone).

probabyinsecure · 09/12/2025 20:53

These are not just pictures of good looking people. It is highly explicit videos and pictures of an individual that someone has chosen to follow. They have picked this person out.

twitter/x has now been deleted (his choice) but still feeling uncomfortable.

AngelicKaty · 09/12/2025 20:59

@probabyinsecure Did he delete Twitter/X spontaneously OP, or did you ask him about the accounts he was following and that prompted a reaction from him?

Newsenmum · 09/12/2025 21:00

1 would be enough. 50-100. 🤢
