Seems more and more women are getting that way. My last girlfriend would regularly wake me up at odd hours in the morning to get some action, and I'm not talking a quickie either.

It wrecked havoc on my sleep habits, but I didn't complain....too much

Well, maybe it's time for a little definition.

Are we talking about nicely-shot, decently scripted soft-core, such as the Red Shoes Diaries? Or are we talking about stuff that was basically shot in somebody's living room with a script that was written in about 45 seconds on the way over to the set?

My wife and I will watch the first one and enjoy it. The second kind is just boring beyond words. I mean, what little I've seen of that type, the actress looks as if she might as well be filing her nails or working the crossword puzzle.

Some of the first, most of the 2nd.

Well, the 2nd is just downright boring.

I don't want to lend the impression that we do this weekly, or even monthly. There's no hidden stash of magazines in our house, and we don't even have a subscription to HBO. It's just a way to occasionally liven things up.

That being said, on our tenth anniversary trip to Mexico, there was the Playboy Channel in the room. My wife loved watching that. I finally made her turn it off given how exhausted I was.

He would like it if I were to look at porn with him - I feel like if I do that then it will give him leway to be like well you looked at it with me so why can't I look at it whenever I want type of thing.
See, there are many things in our house that I wish weren’t there - but he is partial to looking at playboy and the other nasty pictures that everyday trash puts online so they can be like hey look at me because I'm just meat for men to drool over. Oh my fav is the Literotica board that he looks at - drives me crazy.
But would you not ever look at it if she didn't like it and vica versa if you didn't like it?
I guess I get so upset just because he isn't willing to do that. Maybe if I knew that at the drop of a hat he would just give it all up for me if I asked it might change a few things in my head. But I still don't like the nasty pictures he looks at. They aren't all tasteful like the playboys (as we all know those are airbrushed and hello no one has that perfect of skin) I don't care who you are.. lol
I could make a game of it (kind of like a test) - pack up all the movies and magazines, delete all the links to the crap and just try to be content with seeing my naked body and see how happy he is. that would be amazing - kind of selfish but we need to figure this out and nip it in the tush.

Like I said in the other porn thread:

"you have your porno collection more organized than you have things around the house organized".
But anyway I had to explain to her that those are my iraq things and it is kept for backup.
I even don't know what all I have.
she found this while he's in school in Ft Leanordwood, MO, while she's home in Camp Pendleton. There is also a guy in my class in san diego who's married who admitted to having as much. He is also happily married. The thing is, it's not unique. I remember before I first went over to Iraq, I asked my boy what I should bring. He told me the only thing I needed to bring was porn. For the unindoctrinated, porn and nude pics are swapped and collected like basbeball cards in Iraq.

In your case, was the porn being used instead of you? Were you available at that point in time? Was their available time for y'all to be intimate? Has his porn habits effected your sex life as far as how he treats you? If the answers to the all these questions is no, then you have nothing to worry about?

Also have you discussed it with him? Have you tried to hear his POV, has he expressed it or simply blown it off?

When I first got married, my wife had a problem with me viewing porn or touching myself in general. On the simple principle that she should be enough and she is all the women I need, she felt like it was cheating. Porn was satisfying a physical desire, not an emotional one. We discussed it and she was even open minded enough to let me show her some things that she ended up finding stimulating.

Granted, my wife can answer no to all above questions and it's not something I view very often when I'm home (though it's a lifesaver when I'm away)

This is me to the T - however, I am there all the time and he says that I do satisfy him. I just hate that he looks at it. I guess I can't get over the whole separating sex from love crap that I keep hearing when everything I know and feel puts love and sex together.
Because what that tells me is that when we have sex there is nothing emotional about it.. There are no feelings there between us that it is just sex and our relationship and sex life are not together but completely separate. yeah I don't agree with that..
I can't honestly say that I've never watched a porn video and didn't want to just jump him right there. However, I just hate that he looks at it every day when I'm not there. Like I didn't just have sex with him twice the day before; you see what I'm saying? It isn't like he is gone for months or I'm boring and won't try things etc but the fact that he just likes it so much he has to look at every day.. Oh an the mb kills me... ahhhh I wish I could just get it you know?
