I was putting away my fiance's t-shirts in his drawer and noticed something peeking out the bottom. Some spank mag. Know what I did? I put it away and never mentioned it. The guy needs some way to service himself when I'm not around.
Men are visual, and sometimes mental images just aren't enough.

You are not being over the top. Men like to justify their actions by using their masculinity as a reason. Saying you love a person and cheating on them mentally doesn't add up but somehow men have made it our problem when we are affected by their porn watching. They say it's normal for them and it's no big deal, they still love you and don't desire the women in the videos. They label us as the problem and with insecurities because we don't accept their washed up excuses which is really a porn addiction if you ask me.
It's not you. Majority of men are weak and can't control their libidos. Most women have more control over it and can walk past a man or see a man that's handsome and not acknowledge it. Majority of women can be satisfied with their partner and don't have an urge to watch pornography. If a man has to think about other women and look at other women when I'm around or not around to "get off" then he has a damn problem. Not me. So please girl... don't even THINK about hurting yourself because your man can't control himself. LOL! Laugh at that shit.
No, it's not her, but be realistic. It's a well known fact that most men are turned on by visual stimuli, not mental. My man ALWAYS prefers sex with the lights on as opposed to off because he admittedly likes to SEE whats going on.
Women are less turned on by visual stimuli and more by mental images or fantasies played out in their heads.
Also, being turned on by images of other people (whether mental or visual) does not equate to not loving your partner. I love my fiance to DEATH and there are plenty of occasions I've pleasured myself to mental images/fantasies that didn't include him.
Mind you, it takes a lot of security and relationship experience to get to that realisation. I thought the same as you younger ones when I was your age. I just know better now.

Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame

Wait... You're SERIOUSLY freaked out about your boyfriend watching porn 1-2 times a week? Get over it. Sounds like you grew up in Bible country. BTW a guy watches AT LEAST 3 times as much porn as he admits too.
Well put.
Graham Berkeley what are you talking about? Some guys really don't watch porn in relationships...How can you justify a statement like that? I'm talking to you on a forum right now and I'll never meet you ever in my life, so why would i lie? I never watched porn while i was in a relationship...Do i now while I'm single? Yeah...But, i didn't then...
So, i guess i would be a liar according to you?
Honestly, I don't have a huge issue with porn. If I'm asleep in the other room and he's at his computer whacking it..yes I'd have an issue. I can't be there all the time, so sometimes he needs to do whatever.
My ex and I watched porn together sometimes. I must be odd for a girl or something, because porn does turn me on.
Just talk to him and let him know lying to you was not cool. IF he's only using porn 1 or 2 times a week that's nothing. Just remember he's with you, not the pornstar.
Honestly, I would be surprised if you had a steady relationship where you lived with a person for over a year.
I was smitten for the first year, and even being long distance at the time I never really bothered with porno. Just no interest.
Then later on we moved in together, and as the newness began to fade, I slowly fell back into old habits. Granted I definitely do not masturbate as much as I used to, I still browse sites for kicks.
We'll have been dating 3 years this November.
There are men who watch porn and there are men who lie about it.
Stick to the ones who freely admit it. You do not want to see what the other guys have on their computers. Believe me, once seen it cannot be unseen.
