Why Not? I Watch It Too!

“Fine with me. I’ll watch it with him!” – Medina V.

It Gives Him a False Sense of Reality

“I actually think it is an issue because it causes men to judge the women they are with and force them to live up to the standards of something he sees another female do. I wish it did not exist because this is probably why adultery is acceptable.” —  Michelle M.

It Makes Him More Creative

“I feel that it’s okay for men to watch porn; it brings flare and gives them new creative ideas. (If they’re smart!) LOL. But, don’t get carried away and start bringing your freaky fetishes to the bedroom. And, for the love of God, don’t wear yourself out.” – Brittany K.

It’s Unholy

As Long As It’s Moderate

“It’s perfectly fine to watch, and even enjoy watching as a couple. However, if my man gets to a point where he’d rather watch porn than have the real thing, there is a major problem!” – Asia C.

It’s a Bad Sign

“I feel like if he needs to watch it, he is not satisfied with what he has and will want to eventually go elsewhere. Not to mention that that door leads to obsession.” – Stacey O.

As Long As He Shares the Love

“Its OK, but sometimes I would like that attention on me!” – Tiffany B.

It’s Disrespectful to Women

It’s Healthy and Normal

Hiding It Isn’t Cool

“The only problem I have is the addiction some men form to it. But, I have no issue with my husband watching porn. My real problem stems from him hiding the porn he watches. Like, when he deletes the history on the computer or has it on his phone, etc. If you have to hide it, then you know it is not cool and this is where our arguments come from.” — Roxanne P.

It’s None of My Business

“I think that’s his business. I have never had it affect intimacy between my partner and myself. If anything, it sparks some intriguing conversations.” – Karyssa J.

There Are Bigger Issues

“It used to bother me when I was younger, but now I could not care less. I do take issue with strip clubs and he doesn’t do those, so I’m cool.” – Ericka T.

It Can Lead to Divorce

“Porn is one major thing that helped in the demise of my marriage because he was dishonest and sneaky about it.” – Cherri B.
