Why does my boyfriend watch porn?

My boyfriend watches porn and when ever I ask him he just tells me he doesn't know.
The thin is I just get jealous because he's wasting his energy on porn and not me and I find it wrong if you watch porn when you've got your girlfriend you hold be looking at your girlfriend not a fantasy girl you'll never get with. What should I say because it's really bugging me

Just explain that it's hurtful for you and, if he still doesn't understand, put it into context for him. Ask him how he'd feel if you were masturbating to videos of naked men. Would he feel jealous? If so, it's time for him to kick the habit. All this "men are visual" stuff may be true but the fact is they probably wouldn't appreciate women doing the same.

I had a boyfriend in the past who did the same and at the time I was suffering from an eating disorder and anxiety so it was a real trigger of those for me as I had the typical "I'm not good enough" feeling.

As I said, the only way is to explain flat out how it makes you feel. If he doesn't think twice when he knows that then maybe he isn't right for you and you should find someone who would give it up for you.

Laura, the "why" is easy: because he's a guy; because guys are visual; and because porn is THERE.
I see both sides of this. I had a girlfriend who said "You don't need that," but she wasn't a guy.
You can tell him how you feel, but don't expect immediate results. You can shut off the computer, take away our TV and magazines, but most of us can run a porn film in our heads at a moment's notice, and you do NOT want to know who is in it or what they are doing. Trust me on that.

Men are naturally very visual. They get more turned on looking at sex than reading about it, for example. I don't really know why. It probably doesn't compromise how he feels about you. You would probably enjoy watching porn if it was female friendly. Basically, chill, boys will be boys.

Your boyfriend desires to relax on the porn, for good. no longer all adult adult males watch it. i do no longer. My brother does not. My cousin does not. My father does not. so a techniques as i be attentive to, not one of the adult adult males in my kin watch porn, a minimum of no longer on a wide-unfold foundation, and each final one people is a ''macho'' form. in the experience that your boyfriend desires porn, some thing's incorrect with *him*, no longer you. It has no longer something to do with the type you look or the type you sense approximately your self. As somebody stated, this is a psychological habit. this is a situation together with his concepts, together with his capacity of self administration. He can administration his concepts, yet he chooses to no longer. communicate over with him approximately it, yet do no longer nag. permit him be attentive to you sense uncomfortable with him staring at porn each and all the time, and which you rather desire him to end, yet attempt to achieve this gently, without commencing a combat. your self self belief is your difficulty, and yours on my own. you may learn how to cost your self, and to no longer place self belief in what every person else thinks of you. on the comparable time, you may properly be waiting to allow your boyfriend be attentive to that it rather is a few thing you are trying to artwork on. Ask him for help. perchance he ought to compliment you slightly greater in many cases. perchance he ought to attempt to be slightly greater supportive than he's. yet ultimately, this is on you. you're worth better than you recognize to plenty greater people than you probably think of. Now you- and you on my own- could comprehend that. Peace, Drew
