Men watch it, women watch, couple’s watch it together and it’s the most searched for content on the internet. But there are also people that don’t like porn.
Watching porn is a personal choice, but what about when that choice is taken away. How would you feel if your partner told you you were no longer allowed to watch it? Because that’s the predicament one young man has found himself in.
A guy on Reddit has been with his girlfriend for six months, and she has just asked him to stop watching porn.
The 25-year-old isn't sure what to do because his (also 25-year-old) girlfriend says she asks all her partners to cut off their porn habit at this point in their relationship.
However, the girlfriend reads erotic novels and thinks that is completely okay. She says because it's only imagination, it's not the same as watching porn.
When this man asked his girlfriend why she had a problem with it she told him that it was something she didn't feel comfortable with in a relationship.
"She said that pornography is demeaning and hurtful to women, creates negative and unfair images of women in people's minds, and creates unfair standards for women. She said she also doesn't feel comfortable that her partner looks at other women, even if it is actresses or strangers, in that way for pleasure, and that if we're at a point where the relationship can go further and become more serious, then porn is a no-go," the Reddit user wrote.
When asked if it was a jealousy thing, his girlfriend said it may have partially been because of that, but her boyfriend said that it almost sounded like she considered it a very slight form of cheating.
