Do happily married men still look at porn and self-pleasure even if..?

Yes

1. They enjoy sexual excitement and release and porn delivers.

2. They like sexual variety and porn has an endless selection to choose from.

3. In real life the sexual practices that men like might not be those that their partners would like to engage in. In the world of porn, our sex partner will do anything we want them to do. And they will enjoy it. And they never get tired. And they are always ready for more.

4. The real world has a lot of stress and uncertainty. The world of porn is predictable and controllable.

5. Even when our sexual partner is available and interested most of the time (which can be a problem at any age, but particularly as we get older), there are always those times when we're hot to trot but our partner is tired tonight. A quick visit to the home office and a harem of available playmates awaits our commands.

6. Though many have overcome the Madonna/Whore complex where we find it difficult to get aroused with our motherly wives but go wild for the wanton woman we work with, for many its still easier to have "regular sex" with our partner and let our minds run wild with the things we might do if we let ourselves go.

7. In a world where we are all so busy with work, home, and family, a pornographic affair may seem like some small comfort for those who are cut-off and lonely.

8."Instant gratification isn't fast enough for me," In our speeded up world where we want everything served up fast and hot, pornography may be the perfect solution for our times.

Absolutely! There have been studies that suggest happily married men actually experience a rise in the desire to masturbate even when being sexually active with their wives regularly. Sex and masturbation are two different things psychologically. You should not feel threatened by this nor think that it means you are not pleasing him enough/the way he wants, etc.

As far as WHY this is true, I cannot offer you any good explanation. It's just a product of the way the human mind works. Evolution's only aim in biology is to bring a critter to breeding age, healthy enough to do so. In human ancestors, it was a very successful tactic for males to breed as often, with as many females as possible. Males of our species are hardwired to be sexually active and masturbation is a very healthy and acceptable way to express that instinct. That is, provided it's not become some kind of OCD thing where it's so often that he's damaging his penis or it's becoming disruptive to his daily life. On average, a man will want to masturbate between 2 and 4 times a day.

So, provided he's not rubbing his skin off or ignoring your sexual needs, all is well.

Many wives and long term girlfriends like to think the power of their pussy is so strong, that her man will NEVER want to look at anything other than her. But the man is still eating out of the same box of cookies year after year. He may want to look at a little porn now and then. It is much like looking at a new box of cookies wondering if he should take the risk of reaching into the box. Then he decides that his regular flavor is still good AND a sure thing.

If a man looked at porn at all before his marriage/relationship, then he will probably continue to look at it (on a much reduced frequency). I've actually viewed porn WITH my partner.

Doing the same women gets boring very quickly, especially if they are not interesting. Those that watch porn in their spare time or on top, probably go out with other women behind their back. Once we get bored, this is what happens.

what do you consider a "regular basis"? My ex-fiance consider regular basis, once a week! thats insane!

I need at least once a day, I prefer 2-3 times a day!

I think unhappy married men do.If the woman isn't nagging and keeping her appearance together I don't see why the man wouldn't find her attractive or even watch porn to pleasure himself.

When I was married (I'm thinking happily so), I found my husband masturbating a few times. I don't think some people want their sexuality to be that confined.

In most situations: Sure, why not? Sometimes the partner might be busy with other things, or simply not in the mood.

When I'm left alone to self-pleasuring, I prefer to do it with a fantasy of a particularly special someone, not porn.

But..that's just me.

I'm not equipped to answer this question but I would imagine so.

It's kind of like a quick cheap thrill and no one is harmed!

But I would imagine his wife would be confused as to why he would.

We just..........like it.
