You would be putting him in the exact situation you are in right now. He watches those porn because those are the women he desires but cannot have. Personally, that is what I would do. And he will not stop watching porn no matter how much he loves you. He is hooked to them.
And here is where the truth comes out, and what most women, you especially, don't understand.
Men don't watch porn because they desire the women in porn. They don't watch porn because those women, or even that kind of sex, is what they want.
In other words, no, she wouldn't be putting him in the exact situation he's putting her in. She'd be trying to hurt him, when he's doing nothing at all to hurt her, or their relationship. Until you understand that, you'll never have a healthy relationship, because I hate to tell you this, the majority of men watch porn.
Until you realize that porn is entertainment, you'll never understand, and you'll never be happy.
My husband watches porn. He used to hide it. Actually, I find it funny, because we never once had the porn discussion, so why he would feel he needed to hide it, I don't know. I was cleaning house one day and found his "stash". When he came home I asked him where he wanted me to put his movies, because I didn't want him to have to climb over the home entertainment center every time he wanted to watch them. I suggested keeping them in the hidden compartment in our closet (that he knew about) where I keep my vibrator. He was shocked.
So we sat down and talked about it. I asked him why he was hiding it. He said "because you're a woman, and all women hate porn, and hate it when their men watch it". I was more upset about that than any porn. He knows me! I am not like most women! To be lumped into the paranoid "porn is evil, my man is horrible for watching it, I feel undesirable because of porn" group, really ticked me off. I am not a woman that is threatened by anyone else, or anything else, because I know that my husband loves me.
That was many years ago, when we first married. He watches porn whenever he wants (in the garage because we have kids) and I've watched it with him a few times, but it's really not my thing. I can't help but make fun of the horrible music, the unrealistic scenarios, the acting (if you can call it that) and all the plastic breasts and fake moans. So he watches his porn, I watch my chick flicks (which he can't understand. Why would anyone watch a movie that makes them cry buckets?) and it's all good. We've been married almost 18 years.
Whenever a thread like this pops up, I talk to him about it. The funny thing is, when I first found his porn he had hidden it because he didn't think I'd understand (because most women don't) that porn isn't about what you desire in a woman, or what you want in the bedroom. It's simply entertainment. Men are visual, women are emotional. For him a porn movie is entertaining, for me Marley and Me (which he watched with me, and hated because he was depressed for days afterwards) is entertainment.
Do I want a golden lab that wrecks my house, eats furniture, and then has to be put to sleep because of age and a twisted bowel? No! I don't want that any more than he wants any of the women in the movies he watches! It's entertainment. That's it.
Until you understand that, you'll never understand men, and you'll never have a healthy happy relationship.
