In your relationship you two make the rules. Porn can add stability to a relationship or it can add instability. If you are willing and able to take the role for each other pf making sure each other's sexual needs are met, then porn has no purpose anyway. If you are not willing or able, porn may be a gap filler, that allows you to focus on being there in other ways for eachother

Yes, that’s fair. I personally believe it’s unethical, but especially when you’re doing it in a relationship. It’s disrespectful to your partner to get off to other people.

I don’t believe it’s a fair request only because he may have a sexual appetite you can’t fill and he will become frustrated the longer it goes on He’s okay with it for now, but what happens if he changes his mind? Can you give him what he’s missing?

That's a valid perspective. It may be an important conversation to have, and if you are a woman... a worthwhile conversation with your dad/mom or a biologist/psychologist Many men/women experience surface level physical attraction to more than one person. Most men/women do not act on those urges and are able to play the role of well behaved monogamous person in society. The horniness many people feel can give them anxiety, depression, shame, frustration etc... but is natural and healthy!

Horniness could be completely alleviated by a fulfilling relationship with a partner, or supplemented by: Masturbation • To memories of your partner. • To memories of other partners • To imagined interactions with strangers .... or porn

Being human can be complicated. But it's ok that your partner is a human and it's ok that you are a human too! We all are trying to do our best to fit into this strange world that we now live in.

Yeah, I have my own beliefs and I find it disrespectful. I don’t think I need to talk to a biologist or a psychologist about my opinion. If a man cannot get a grip and control his urges than he simply is not the man for me. You can’t use biology or psychology to justify men’s lack of self- control or respect for their partners.

The male sexual organ and the male brain are connected to the same thing, the male Your opinion won’t change that However if you’re looking for a man who is less interested in sex and more interested in social behaviors, that makes more sense

Again, I like I said- I will not date a man that lacks self-control. Idk why you think any of that information is supposed to mean something to me.

So you want your man to only be sexually satisfied and interested in you specifically? In this age of social media where attractiveness is a commodity sold to the highest bidder? Is love the reason why you think it’s possible? So many divorces happen all the time, what makes this any different?

Yes. And it’s not just about love, it’s also about respect.. which most men today seem to be lacking.

Not just men, people in general are less respectful because they feel more comfortable ghosting people than just dealing with issues. It’s so much easier to drop the weight and pick up something easier than to just deal with it and move on. If you want something, don’t settle for less

I agree. People are often only seeking instant gratification and the moment things get difficult, confusing they rather just leave and go onto the next thing than build something real with a person.

So, bringing this back around to the main point, how long are you willing to wait for a man with self control? Or would you be willing to get with a man who is willing to change himself for you over time?

I don’t think you understand what I mean when I say instant gratification and I don’t know what you mean by waiting. I’m not waiting on anyone for anything nor would I wait for a man to change for me. If he has to change that sort of thing to be with me, he can get lost.

It's good that you know what you want #2 Don't be discouraged if it's hard to find, that will only make the person you do end up with that much more special.
