Couples watching porn together? Good or bad?

I am a 20 year old female who would like to know if it would be considered inappropriate for a couple to watch porn together. Would that be a bad thing or a good thing as far as a relationship goes?

Watching pornography is playing with fire. Addiction can easily follow.

The "Porn Industry" is a multi-Billion dollar business...the business is selling quick orgasms to masturbating men. Business is excellent and with the dawn of computer porn, pornography is in many households where it never was before. It is very easy for men to become addicted to porn.

For information on the terrible price some people pay for their hobby of viewing porn, see the following books:

1. "The Porn Trap" by Wendy Maltz, LCSW, DST and Larry Maltz LCSW
Published 4-22-08

blurb"....An excellent, thoughtful, and hopeful guide providing effective help for those who struggle with our newest and most challenging mental health problem--pornography addiction." Patrick Carnes, PHD

2. "Porn Nation-Conquering Americas #1 Addiction" by Michael Leahy
Publishing 5-1-08

3. Untangling the Web, Sex, Porn, and Fantasy Obsession in the Internet Age"
by Robert Weiss, LCSW,CAS

blurb"...offers realistic healing strategies for anyone experiencing the impact of Internet pornography and sex addiction on intimacy, relationships, career, health and self-respect."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My opinion, find a man who wants to make love to you, not a sex addict as he appears to be.


Good Luck!

kp2171 agrees: while i am more "middle ground" here, i believe you bring up some good alternative points. we get a number of "my bf is addictied to porn" posts here every month. i can absolutely be a problem... as can many other "vices"

The bottom line with porn is that a couple is on the same page about it, open and honest in their communications about sex, and have a healthy relationship both in and out of the bedroom.

If you're BOTH okay with it, then it's not a problem.

If you're BOTH not okay with it, then it's not a problem.

If just ONE of you is okay with it--it's a problem, and I personally believe every couple needs to work that problem out themselves.

If you can't work it out between yourselves, then perhaps a counselor could help.

If that doesn't work, well....you probably just have some compatability issues in general then.

To me, it's another issue in a relationship like money--you have to AGREE on how it gets used in order for the relationship to work.

THey must think people like to hear the fake grunts and moans....and there must be some people that do.......We just find it fake and more than a little annoying. Some adult movies don't use that approach, but they seem to be pretty rare.

Personally not a fan of porn, but the Kama Sutra tape I got for Christmas, wow, that was a turn on. Hubby and I watched that together in the bedroom and only got 1/3 of the way in to the tape, never have seen the entire film, sad.

Like anything else porn has it's place, if it's something that is kept under control and both of you enjoy it together than I don't see a problem. If one of you is sneaking into the basement at night to watch it then you have a problem, like anything else in life it can become and addiction and a "crutch".

Good Luck.

It's a terrible thing. If you watch porn with him he's goign to fantasize about having sex with another women (the porn star). You really don't want that.

if, and ONLY IF you are both comfortable with it and want to. But, going by these other posts, is that he needs it? If so there is a problem.

In my opinion, I think that it may be normal to watch together once in a while but if it becomes a regualr thing before or during sex, it may be a problem. Some couples like to share in the fantasy. Others do not find it necessary. This could become a real problem in performance as time goes on. I don't know all of the details but look at it yourself and see if you two are dependent on it for sexual activity.

Too late....men have been fantasizing about having sex with other women since before handwriting, much less porn was invented. Hell its been since before Fire was tamed.
