Here’s my opinion and I’m a guy.. sorry, but it sounds like he’s got issues. Apparently, if he doesn’t have any interest in it now, with time, it will only get worse. Also, that should worry you that he could easily cheat on you as well.. that being said, I assumed you have open/honest communication with him. If you haven’t had open/honest communication with him regarding your needs, I strongly recommend that you do that before making any decisions. Good luck!

i wouldnt necessarily generalize like that and say that anyone who watches porn is also likely to cheat but

the fact that he doesnt have sex with u often is not normal behaviour in a functioning relationship.. im assuming u havent been together for a long time..

have u asked him why he does that?
if he loves u and if hes attracted to u the only reason i can think of is that
he is soo used to porn, kinda like an addiction that he cant go without it

but i dont know your boyfriend..
does he flirt with other girls.. does seem like he is sexually attracted to u?
what kind of porn does he watch?
maybe he is into something particular and hes scared to ask u ?

I would say he has an addiction.
Leave him - it will only get worse. He has to realise that he has a problem.
Plus - the over use of pornography has serious consequences to that persons mental health.

Pornography is all about bodies, and about women as sex toys. There is so much more to life and love than that petty, nasty stuff! Find a real man who has some depth.

“Find a real man who has some depth.”

Come on its just some porn, its not the end of the world,I think that:
A. he either wants to do things with you that he thinks you won’t do.
B. he’s board of having sex with you.
or C. He just likes to have a wank, a lot of men do, I mean if its in your “honeymoon” period its a bit weird but if you have been together a while then bothered!! Why don’t you try something new, have a look at the porn he likes and try something out. Never know you might like it :)

I kind of like porn. I think I’m normal. I still respect woman. I know that it is not for everyone my wife hates that I look at it but she tells me she has never had better sex. I don’t see women as toys at all, I love everything about them.
I also think it doesn’t cause mental problems, some people might have had that before they looked at porn. after all I work with litte girls & I look at them like they are little girls…This is just my opinion please don’t hate on me for being happy

‘I also think it doesn’t cause mental problems’

I don’t judge anyone who uses it (at all!) - as a female, I use it too, BUT the OVER use of pornography does cause mental problems. There have been (many) studies to prove so.

Let me just clarify that using it in moderation is perfectly fine and everything - but once someone is addicted or becoming reliant/addicted to it it will cause problems that require serious help to get past. It also depends on the person and their genetic make-up as to how it affects them.

I can’t disagree with you anony. Back to the post, He must be getting off somewhere? maybe by himself? Do you love him?

I just wish porn never existed. Maybe couples would spend more time in the bedroom figuring out what pleases their partner sexually and better open communication. Sex isn’t just about getting off, its about sharing an intimate experience. And I know men won’t agree with me but if you ask grandparents and older people how they lived without porn they will answer why do I need porn I have my wife. And another problem is a lot of women are not cumming and I think this is largely due to the fact that men watch porn and think that what this girl wants is what his women will want instead of giving the women the emotional connection she needs to climax. SOOOOO many women have to fake it. SOOOOOO not fair. Its true men have hand computer connections while the women are missing out on healthy sexual intimacy with their partner. They feel that have to live up to what the women do on porn sights. Thats puts pressure on women and you know as soon as a women gets mental about anything she can’t cum. The most important thing is that you make your partner comfortable sexually so they can open up, put down the porn and be intimate with your partner it can be more rewarding watching your girl get off truly for the first time instead of having to fake it. When women can actually cum they become way more frisky they know what they like and feel comfortable to do the crazy positions and try new things. I’m really mad at my boyfriend right now he never really watches porn but the other day he told me he was sick hungover and to tired to have sex and when I came home there was porn on his computer history. WTF I have even made porn for him. Why does he need to watch that????? UGHHHHH so frustrating for a women

Yeahhhh… my boyfriend went about 2 months without sleeping with me… all while watching porn regularly. When I say regularly, I mean if I asked him about it… he would immediately jerk off the second I was gone. I know women will flip on that one… but I am curious to hear what the men have to say…..

Not gonna lie, I’ve asked him about it more than I probably should…. but that was also sparked because he couldn’t even slow down when I initially asked him to. Wouldn’t most guys put the computer away at least for a couple days?…….

Thats me right now, I don’t understand why he doesn’t want sex with me its been nearly three months now-and he has no interest in me whatsoever. Im at the end of my tether with him to be honest. I don’t know what to do. I told him, ive texted him I tried to dress up and he just makes me feel stupid for doing so. What more can I try?

Michelle - I wish I had the answer but all I can say is you have to talk to him about it. If he doesn’t try and get to the root problem with you then you might want to think about your options. Life is too short to try and make someone into something they’re not. If he isn’t giving you the attention/affection you need…there are plenty of other people out there that will.

Take care!

I’m having exactly the same problem. My bf is 25 and we have sex once a month! last time I had it was 6 weeks ago. and he was drunk. it was perfect though. but the first 3 intercourses (when we just started dating)were unsuccessful, I mean he couldnt come at all. and he just stopped. I wasnt upset though, cuz I knew he had a lot of problems in his life and he still does, but he still finds time to watch porn, about 3-5 times a week. instead of coming over. when a real girl wants him bad! we dont live together, but I still can see when he’s online. the thing is, what bothers me most, when I invite him over, he gets mad and starts fighting about it and he says he can’t he’s busy and stressed and cant even think about having sex, but when he gets home after work I see him online. and his friends’ list is more than 300 porn addicts with naked pictures and collections of porn videos and pics, like thousands. from incests to shemales and fettish and even animals. I wouldn’t know what kind of porn he’s watching, but he adds these videos to his list online, so that everyone sees it, he didnt know about it and deleted all 1500 videos from the list when I first found out about him watching porn and asked him if it’s his account, of course he claimed it wasn’t his. and most of those videos were mature ladies porn with young guys, incests, sometimes shemales and lesbians. But mostly mature women with big tits, an even fat old women and hairy!!!like a lot hairy. he even emailed one guy saying thank u for the collection of pics cuz loves very hairy women too. that’s disgusting. I am 23, I’m sexy, guys like me a lot and I’ve never faced this problem before. No one was unsatisfied. I’m open to a lot of things but I cant see him watching it. the worst thing is, he even emails them sometimes, some stuff like I wanna lick your p***y and other things. I talked to him about it once, but he flipped out and said it’s not his and he almost left me, said I didnt trust him. A that time I didnt know he was communicating to the ladies from time to time, I thought just watching. I believed him, cuz I had no proof and even apologized. But now I do have that proof. I could be a good investigator lol
I’m faithful and never cheated on him. never. I have a very high sex drive, I can have sex every day.but getting it once for 1-2 months makes me mad. And what bothers me most that he prefers mature ladies to me. And he emailed one a couple days ago (I know his password but he doesnt know about it), she’s 40 and even from the same city… she didnt reply though. And she’s curvy. And I’m skinny, but my sizes are ok, I mean not small. so that my friends are even jealous, that I’m skinny but still have good sizes, u know what I mean. So I guess there’s nothing wrong with me, but he made me feel that way now. even though he would never admit it. He talks s**t about guys watching porn and masturbating. and doesn’t have sex with me at all. when he was drunk he got a vibrator for me, like I said I’m open to many things and didnt get mad we even played with it once for fun. and that’s it. He said he can’t see me that often cuz he’s busy so I can use it sometimes. I have a feeling he just replaced himself with it. but since he gets home every evening and finds time for mature porn that means he is not THAT busy. and and we’ve been dating for a year. and had sex about 10 times. total. And he’s planning to marry me and have kids. But I’m scared to move in together and marry him. Cuz I dont wanna see him jerking off every time I go to work. I’m a very devoted and sensitive person. Sometimes I even wish he was looking at other young girls, but INCESTS. OMG it’s disgusting. And his family is normal, they’re religious and nice people. so i dont know what to do and what to think… cuz I’m hurt. I wanna be loved and who knows may be he cheats on me with real ladies…

Im in the same situation..I have tried SO many things to spice up our sex life but it has been weeks since we have touched each other. I even offer blow jobs and he turns them down! At the same time, he ordered four new pornos last week and he watches porn almost every day. We have talked about it before and it was fixed for a while but now its back to the way it was. Even when we do sleep together, he sometimes asks if I want to watch porn. NO THANKS. I finally got on here to find out what other peoples thoughts were and it sounds like a lot of people are going through the same thing. I just want a healthy sex life! He jokes about sex alll the tiiiime and will grab my boob but then nothing. It’s horrible. I made a move on him the other night and gave him an erection and then he fell asleep. I asked him about it and he said that it relaxes him. I need some advice!

I finally am done with him. The porn wasn’t his only problem. When you have to download an app to hide specific text messages…I can’t put up with that. He’s 40. Grow up people! Sorry had to vent. Hoping God has better plans for me.

Same old same old, mine says he just does not need sex as often as I do, and is happy to have it once every two month, he says he is in love with me and has proposed, but he always has porn sites on his phone, I have tried everything from watching it with him to watching it by myself, but nothing changes his behaviour. I would have no problem with it, if we had a good ex life but as it is now I feel like the porn is replacing our time in the bed room, we have discussed it to death but nothing changes. He is very affectionate in all other ways like holding hands and cuddling but won’t go near the key areas like butt and boobs. And never kisses me deeply anymore but gives plenty normal kisses, it is just sooooo confusing to me, plus even when we do have ex it is only about him, I usually have to finish myself off. We are so close in every other area, all I want is that completeness. Guys please help me figure my man out !!!
