My boyfriend thinks I'm dirty and weird, cos I like porn films and magazines. He thinks it's just for men. Am I dirty and weird, or is he being a prude?
Razhie answered Monday May 10 2010, 2:30 pm: Can we go with inexperienced instead of prude?
Prude is a bit of derogatory term these days. It seems to have come to mean the choice to be wilfully ignorant and judgmental of others sexual expression. Inexperienced is just that, inexperienced. He hasn't talked to enough intelligent young women to realize that many girls like porn and erotica… women are generally much quieter about the issue then guys are... Give him a nudge to educate himself about the issue, instead of calling him names.
If he IS calling you names, and refusing to learn more about the great wide world of women who love porn, THEN call him a prude and a jackass.
EDIT:
Kudos to you for actually looking up prude! I did go with the more of the urban dictionary definition... The common usage of 'prude' is so insulting these days, and obviously this guy isn't really being 'wise' either ;) [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

Because if it governs you then I have to say it does sound weird and a bit erratic. But if you like it like any other normal people, then its ok.
You're not dirty and weird like your boyfriend says you are. Maybe he's just feeling a little insecure that you're paying attention to some hot guys in these adult materials. Take the time to sit with him and have a talk about it. As I have said before, nothing beats honesty in whatever situation you maybe into.

This is what your boyfriend is thinking while you are getting into that porno. "Wow, that guy has a huge di**...I know she is thinking that mine is smaller....Wait a minute, nobody can do it in that position! ...Now she's gonna think I'm a loser...How in the world is this guy lasing so long?..She must think I suck...That chick has been having an orgasm for like five minutes, now. I know she's gotta be faking it...I hope my girl knows she's faking it..She's probably wishing I could make her get off like that...When is she going to turn this thing off?..I'm just gonna tell her she's dirty and weird, then maybe she won't watch anymore."

LostAngel answered Saturday January 10 2009, 9:47 pm: You aren't weird or dirty. There are a lot of woman out there who do those kinda things. Perhaps he just thinks it's more common for men, and don't think woman do it. Being that men get more aroused than woman most of the time. He's being prude you'd be surprised at the amount of woman who do things like that. Perhaps if you try to tell him things like it sometimes gives you new ideas of things to do with him, maybe that could change his mind up a little. ;)

BahaiMa22 answered Saturday January 10 2009, 8:29 pm: No, There is nothing wrong with you. You'd be suprised of the amount of woman who also watch/like porn. It's sexual, It turns people on and it's exciting. Porn is not just for men however I will say men probably watch it alot more than woman do. I think he may just be over reacting. There is nothing wrong with liking porn at all.
WhitneyJ answered Saturday January 10 2009, 7:20 pm: Well, yes, the majority of guys are interested in pornographic stuff, but that's not to say that girls can't like it too. I don't think its weird of you to like it. You are a sexual being just like him and any of the rest of us in the world, and it's your right to be interested and curious in it.
Some people like their sexual side more than others and there's nothing weird about it.
I think he is being a prude. Maybe you can make it possible to just indulge in this stuff without him and without telling him. Does he have to know everything you do as long as it's not being unfaithful to him?? [ WhitneyJ's advice column | Ask WhitneyJ A Question ]
