Q: porn in a marriage ?

Sad I have a problem. I found out my husband spends time looking at porn online sometimes upto 4hours, instead of coming to bed. He's done this about six times now and I know he's looking at porn cause I look at the history on the computer.

Are sex life is great, but I don't like the idea of him wacthing porn, it makes me feel like I'm not enough for him. don't get me wrong my husband treats me like a queen and I know he loves me, but I don't understand why he does this. Should I worry about this? Confused

i would say only if it is interferring with your sex life. I look at porn too, my wife doesn't have the sexual labido (sp?) that I do. I use it to help get off. I need sex more than once every two weeks.

if it bothers you, maybe talk to him about it...i wouldn't expect it to stop but just let him know it does bother you a bit...i dont like KNOWING or SEEING the things my boyfriend looks at...for some reason it just bothers me to see it on the history..I mean I know he looks and i dont care I just dont want to see what hes been looking at u know? So long as its just some girl in a clip..eh, i wouldn't worry..YOURE the real thing...the line gets crossed if its some web cam thing..THAT..is NOT ok to me

If he really does treat you the way you stated he does, and that your sex life is great, I wouldn't worry too much about it if he is looking at random images/clips of girls he will never meet/know, guys are just guys and somehow separates sexual desires from emotional attachment. He just needs to get off, something monkeys and gorillas do as well. It's when he has the emotional attachment to some other girl, that should concern you.

But if he really is spending 4 hours watching porn at a time, I suggest you look into it or talk to him about it, I don't think a guy can masturbate for 4 hours unless he has some insensitivity issues =/. Not to cause an alarm, but you would have to consider the possibility that he is doing simply more then masturbating/watching, if he spends that long.

As the above poster, there is no big deal if a guy watches porn of images with girls he won't remember seeing, but if he is interacting with webcam girls on a constant basis, I too would agree that borderlines cheating.

I look at porn quite often and my wife knows about. She doesn't have a problem with it in the least. As she says, all men want to look at it.

I would say that 4 hours is a really long time to spend on porn when he could be with you or doing other things. I would be more concerned with the fact that he spends so much time rather than he actually looks at it.

Just remmeber that you are his wife and that he loves you. The women he looks at mean nothing to him..it really is just a quick fix. Pm me if you want to and I can share with you how I overcame my issues with porn and now its something that my hubby and I enjoy together

In my opinion watching porn / erotic films is something natural in men, because we get more excited by seeing that things that women. Women usually need physical contact for getting excited, men dosen't need that. Maybe I'm in a mistake but I don't know any woman that get excited watching a porn film, in the other hand I don't know a man that dosen't get a bit (or a lot) excited watching a porn film Smile

I think the problems comes, like always, when it is patalogic. I mean, if your husband spent 4 hours every day watching porn, and this affect to your relation, then, maybe there is a problem. But if he watches porn just a little bit, for fun or just for having some sexual phantasies I think is completly natural if your sexual relation is still satisfactory.

Sorry for my bad english (I'm spanish).

You've got to talk to your husband about it - plain and simple! Let him know your thoughts and find out why it is he is looking at porn. How is your sex life? Is anything lacking?

Discuss with him, and if you aren't comfortable with him doing that, you need to let him know.
