    Dunno. But ANY woman that wants to lecture men about porn, if she wants any credibility, needs to first forgo the brazen misandry in popular entertainment. From stupid Dads, to crotching-kicking "humor", all of which are on shows predominantly watched by women, misandry is rampant. First they ought to take the rafter out of their own eyes before they help men with the splinter in their eyes.

    I wouldn't want my husband watching porn because it would make me wonder if he's not satisfied with me or with our love life. It's not like people watch porn "just because" - it's done because you want/need sexual gratification, but that should be something he shares with me and I with him. We're married, after all, and have been lovers for more than a decade. Turning to porn would be a sign that something's lacking between us and he's refusing to talk about it.

    Come on, porn is nothing like movies. Movies have plot, actors that are respected, they have meaning, they are interesting. Critics analyse them, people know their titles and the names of their actors/actresses. Porn is just videos of people having sex and its only purpose is to sexually arouse the viewer. That being said, some reasons that a woman might not like it if her man watches porn are:

    1) She feels jealous that he would rather watch porn than sleep with her, his own partner. Or she feels jealous of the women in the porn he watches.

    2) She is against porn for religious or personal reasons and wants a partner who feels the same.

    3) The porn he watches might be degrading to women and she might connect the dots and feel that he would like to do those things to *her* too, that he enjoys seeing women being degraded.

    4) She finds his sexual preferences indecent, depending on what sort he watches.

    That's all I can think of for now.

    They don't understand male sexuality. We need multiple things to fantasize about to get off, including our partner, but, for some of us, scenes that we saw in porn movies. It isn't something that we can change.

    There are a lot of reasons that porn is bad for relationships.

    Men get a dopamine rush from this - like they would with normal sex but if they are used to it - it might be MORE than normal sex so they actually can start to bond more with cyber sex than their partner - this can create a breakdown in the bond between the two.

    If a man gets really addicted to porn, he can become desensitized and actually have trouble getting it up. Therefore, the couple may start to have sexual problems.

    Porn can create unrealistic expectations - about women shaving down there, about photo shopped images, extreme skinniness with surgically enhanced breasts - this is NOT realistic and makes women feel insecure because they cannot compete with the impossible standards it creates. If women do not feel desired, they will not want to have sex and men looking at porn - means that the porn is more important than her - if the partner is forced to compete with porn - it can be the death of a relationship.

    Most porn is for males only - so it gives ideas for men to do that can hurt women but some men still want to do hurtful things to women because porn gave them the idea - and they may hurt their partners living out some fantasy. This is not acceptable.

    Also porn shows little about how men can please women - it's all about men pleasing themselves and the problem is rarely that men don't have orgasms - the problem with REAL sex most of the time is men do NOT please women and porn promotes selfish men not pleasing women - because it is only FOR men most of the time and has little to do with women's pleasure.

    Porn objectifies women and this can make men more sexist.

    If your partner is upset with you watching porn, there are a lot of good reasons - most of all that it is pushing you away from her. If you want to ignore this and think your porn is more important than your partner - leave her - you have no business in a real relationship anyway - you are too selfish and porn has likely made you too sexist, as well - go for the cyber one - and don't hurt your partner with your lust for on-line images.

    If I'm in a relationship I don't look at porn. If I'm not dating anyone, it's nobody's business what I watch except me.

    IF watching porn results in unrealistic expectations THEN it is understandable that one is offended...

    EXACTLY the same way men could be offended at women watching Romances that fill her head with unrealistic expectations.

    They get jealous, thinking that their man prefers the women he sees in porn to them.

    Watching porn is adultery. Being unfaithful.
