TABOO TOPIC: Pornography/Erotica

[ninwa]

That's good. Yeah, you're right, I guess different people have different boundaries.

However, I would say that not every woman/man would be okay with their partner watching porn and demand that you abstain. Then again, all you'd need to do is to well...abstain (if you think it's a reasonable demand). However...the other concern is that your potential partner may leave you if he/she found out (from admission or otherwise) that you HAVE watched porn before. Is this a legit concern?

I agree with Russ that if someone who leaves you over something that petty, count that as bullet dodged. Never stick your dick in crazy

44% according to one study (yes, peer reviewed)

Heh. 

Never stick your dick in crazy

This is the golden rule. Unfortunately, I cannot say I have always kept to this rule. But, then again, we all tend to think our exes are crazy, eh?

LOL!

I agree with Nina and Russ, partners shouldn't be overbearing, in fact, it's probably negative for the relationship to be placing such extreme "restrictions" (for a lack of a better word) on each other.

But Russ is defs right in saying that you've dodged a massive bullet if a partner leaves you for watching porn, because if she/he is going to leave you for such a menial and "OK" thing, then who knows what other things could prompt a break-up/divorce.

Hmm. Question is, how many of us (as in general public) would leave our partner if we found out that they had watched porn before, say regularly?

[ninwa]

Anyone who answered yes to that question should be seeking therapy

[thushan]

LOL some of us'd say its not normal - hence the therapy recommendation. However, what about the general public?

I would probably do a dance and thank all deities for granting her to me.
