Men in a relationship looking at porn?

I just want other people's opinions on something. I'm sure this question has been asked lots of times before, but not by me!

I am in a relationship with an extremely loving man, we see each other at weekends. If it were up to him, he would spend every waking hour he has with me, he worships the ground I walk on and adores me ( I also love him).

Bearing that in mind, I am not confident in my figure and I do not feel that I am in any way sexy. . He tells me I'm beautiful, he is always touching me and gets aroused just by giving me a friendly cuddle.

He has a very high libido and before we met, and in the early stages of our relationship, he would masturbate at least twice a day - he doesn't do this as much because he now has me, but I do know that he masturbates, and that in itself is absolutely fine, I have no problem with that. What I AM struggling with, is that he looks at porn, the porn he looks at is full of "perfect" women and it is THAT which makes me feel inferior. How does the mind of a man, who genuinely loves and lusts for me the way he does, work, that he looks at " perfect" women, but I am far from perfect bodywise. Does it mean that he finds them more attractive than me, does it not mean anything at all?, or do you have any other suggestions what it could mean as I'm a bit unsettled by it.

I probably know that it means nothing, but getting an idea of what other people think would be a great help please.

Update:

To Rezluz Prwulre - nowhere in my question did I say I was overweight, but I have looked at your profile and you clearly have a problem with overweight women. Lack of confidence in your figure does not necessarily mean that a person is overweight.

    Instead of worrying about it from your point of view, think about what's actually happening and you'll feel better...

    1) When you're not there, instead of going out and pulling other girls, he watches pron on the internet and pulls himself...

    2) He needs SOMETHING to think about when you're not there... Him having a w@nk is no different to you doing it with those toys you keep in the bedside drawer... Us men just have less imagination than women do, and need something to look at rather than think about...

    3) Women in pron are NOT perfect to a lot of men... They have fake blonde hair (either that or they dye their eyebrows brown), fake nasty looking ball-shaped boobs, and if they weren't naturally tanned from most of it being filmed in California they would be as orange as a scouser... Plus they are WAY too skinny... The only time I wanna see that many ribs is at a barbecue...

    4) No guy in their right mind would want to go out with a pronstar, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, wwwwwwwww, wwwwwwwwwwwwwww (I don't think I could type enough 'w's to illustrate how disgusting that idea is without going over the character limit)... Knowing a girl had been with that many dudes, for money, is kinda off putting... And the size of those dudes in porn, unless he is a male pronstar himself, chances are we'd be rattling round like the last hot wing in a bargain bucket :D

    Plus, and this is SO important it needs separating from the bullet-point list above... HE LIKES YOU AS A PERSON...

    And as long as when you're there he doesn't need to look at it to get hard, and doesn't ignore you physically and go do that instead, he thinks being with you is BETTER than the porn...

    So those girls you think are 'perfect', can't actually compete with you :D

    First off let me say that though extra prevalent with men ladies most likely DO seem at porn. And when in relationships. Guys are visually inspired. It's the manner we are wired. Now if you happen to i'd be insulted and hurt if he needed that to get occupied with being with you. If he's watching at it on the facet-good he is also taking part in on the off days-however at least with himself and not someplace else. If not an addiction this is not so significant a deal as you're making. Sure i will realize that there are previous issues but don't deliver these into this. Additionally you are laying absolutes and are you equipped to accept them from him. A relationship is set compromise. I am married-lately-and in our 40's. Sure-ancient. I would with ease experience my spouse 1-2 times a day. She laughs and says how are we going to get something completed. I make up the change myself or do get irritable. She is aware of this and laughs about it however accepts that. She does not like porn either as ex was a junkie but at the same time we have now loved collectively. I've discovered that I now visualize her. Try giving your other something of you to occupy thoughs so he does not must look at different images. And loosen up

    i found this quote which i think is funny - Fairy tales make women expect too much of men. Pornography makes men expect too much of women.

    Men watch it. Period.

    There is no such thing as a perfect woman, when the girls in the video get photoshopped, airbrushed, have to go on strict diets. And I can tell you as harsh as it may seem it's not her face or her body he's looking at. You could ask him to stop watching so much? I don't like it when men i date watch it but if you nag them too much about it, they will usually hide it from you.

    Start getting more confidence in yourself, buy some sexy underwear, buy some sex toys, if you don't like your figure then go to a gym you never know you may catch another mans eye and it will make your man wake up,

    i really wish you good luck though, there never is a good answer for this subject xx

    It's no problem at all, it means nothing. It's the same as when you see a hot actor on television (brat pitt, Taylor Lautner,.... i don't know who you find attractive...) you just like to watch it, that's all! And you mentioned that he has a high libido? So the problem is solved! You have your answer :)

    I would worry if he DIDN'T look at porn. In the meantime, try and lose some weight.

    This is not abnormal for men. I wouldn't worry about it.
