Boyfriend unable to get erection but masturbating to Instagram models

To the women on here, how would you feel if your boyfriend couldn't get an erection, but was using Instagram models and such like to masturbate regularly?

We've only been seeing each other for 7 months....

How do you know, does he do it in front of you?

He told me he uses that material to masturbate, yes.

Chuck that one back.

He is making a choice. Someone decent would say something along the lines of - I’ve been single too long and got used to wanking to x,y and z. But I can see it’s affecting our sex life so I’m going to stop now.

Yes, thanks.

When we did talk it through, he said he would stop, I said try for at least one week to not use online stuff and not masturbate and when I saw him around 6 days later, he said he hadn't. Of course when I sneaked onto his phone, he had lied to me....

Bin him off and look for a real man.

Well I don't even know that, as I'm not there when he's doing it. He said though that he has problems getting erect even when masturbating, but last time I stayed over... another icky thing... there was dried semen on the duvet cover.... So he can do it without me.

Which means he can do without me altogether henceforth....

Grim, just grim.
So he disrespects you by wanking to these young women in your home.
He is not willing to stop.
He has lied to you about what the notifications were.

He has zero respect for you OP. Why are you questioning what you should do?

Not every single middle aged man has these traits. There are some good men out there, you deserve better. You know you do.

Ffs get rid of the wanker. It will never get any better. He’s a porn addict looser. 🤮

Have you dumped him? He's not worth your effort at all. There isn't a shortage of men out there.

Fiftyandme · 25/09/2026 00:54

Throw this one back.

Megamegablahblah · 25/09/2026 02:06

Reality of dating in 40s. Op you cannot change someone in their 40s. I believe people can change but has to be led by them. He has no real interest in changing.

My only advice is do not explain when you dump him. I am always the one before they find the one and its because I give them too much useful info. Just be honest you don't have feelings anymore, bye and block.

I specifically said the ones who look ill.
FGS have you ever met a man? Have you never looked at the labels on porn sites that say things like "super skinny girls get huge XYZ" with "lolita"in the tags? It is possibly the most common and popular thing men click on, behind "step sister".

Anyway it is derailing the thread.

Interesting but I don’t think that super skinny, young girls is the most popular type of porn is it? I personally don’t watch but this is the top 30 most popular porn searches from last year.

  1. Milf
  2. Pinay
  3. Lesbian
  4. Anal
  5. Big ass
  6. Latina
  7. Anime
  8. Asian
  9. Femboy
  10. Step mom
  11. Japanese
  12. Creampie
  13. Threesome
  14. Cosplay
  15. Animation
  16. Massage
  17. Trans
  18. Big tits
  19. Blowjob
  20. Gangbang
  21. Pov
  22. BBC
  23. Ebony
  24. Indian
  25. JOI
  26. Cheating
  27. Squirt
  28. 3D
  29. Korean

What on earth am I reading?! 😂

All these stereotypes and assumptions!

Im very slim, petite but with a nice bum and my boobs were really nice before kids 😂 I fit into kids age 12-13 clothes im not ill i eat all sorts of crap i just have a fast metabolism clearly!
never struggled to get a date when i was single (sorry! 😅) my DP isnt gay or anything else suggested here.....in actual fact he doesnt even watch porn!!!
Yes!!!! These men do exist!
Not according to idiots on mumsnet though

Seen it all now, someone saying they are a lesbian and absolutely body shaming other women!!!

Why are you using this threat to be outraged. Bugger off somewhere else and only click on things that won't offend you. The relationships board clearly isn't for you.

Good grief, was the list really necessary?

Well, exactly, let alone it could be made up by the OP just as an excuse to put the words on here while they all faux outrage about why men like 'skinny girls', which of course they all are, and derailing the thread by doing so.

So he's still doing it and he's lying to you about it
Have you dumped him yet?

Well it wasn’t PP who brought up porn, lots of other people have.

Porn is irrelevant given he‘s wanking to clothed IG models who seem to be his preferred type, not online porn (as per the OP)… not sure how this has devolved into body shaming and porn.

SmallDFartyCarNRG · 25/09/2026 14:49

It was because 1 or 2 posters got upset that they were skinny and that they were healthy and got all outraged because the OP put "Most of them are super young, super skinny, almost like anorexic teen skinny. I'm a healthy, curvy 40 year old"

Well because its a public forum and im replying to something that outraged me?

I did also contribute to the thread as well 🤷‍♀️

BleuestBelle · 25/09/2026 15:22

Wasn't the OP just stating what this man of hers prefers to her, that she looks very different to them and he would rather be having sex with them and not her? I didn't get that she was body shaming?

She wasn't just a couple of posters decided it was offensive to slim women and derailed the thread

The body shaming refers to posters who went on a porn tangent about ill skinny looking women who look like little boys, apparently. And also OP called the women she feels jealous of anorexic, which is definitely body shaming. Oh well.

May I just state that I am not jealous of anyone. Nor am I body shaming anyone.

The women that my now ex enjoys masturbating to, well, quite frankly, some of them look as if they really need a good meal. Ribs showing, very thin legs. The only time I was ever that thin was when I was, in fact, a very sick and anorexic teenager who counted every single crumb and almost exercised herself to death. He clearly likes the look of very thin young women.

I'm not shaming these women for looking anorexic. I'm stating a fact. And I battled anorexia a very long time ago.
