my boyfriend and i have been together for a couple of years. we have talked about marriage and we are in love. he still watches porn every week though. i feel as if i am failing at being a girlfriend. is this normal? do boyfriends, even when in love, watch porn?
Most men with a decent sex drive masturbate, even in a committed relationship. Its a way to keep yourself sane when sex isnt practical, its a way to get in touch with sexual fantasies, and to be quite frank, its also just a way a guy can kind of "pamper" himself. There are times when you are feeling sexual but you just want some "me" time and thats often a good way to do it.
Now, if you are feeling insecure, one thing you might want to do is talk to him. Find out what he likes about what he's watching. Be open minded and see if there are some things he likes watching in porn that the two of you can do together.
I had a friend who used to watch alot of porn involving sex in public. He absolutely loved the idea of having sex in a changing room, in the bathroom of a restaurant, in a movie theater. He would watch porn of this stuff every single day.
His girl (another friend) was a bit insecure and didnt know what he was watching, just that he watched it. One day she asked if she could watch with him. They ended up talking about it, and they started trying out sex in interesting places themselves.
He still watches it alot, but its almost always with her, and shes discovered that she absolutely loves this fantasy and their sex life kind of jumped up a few notches.
