Is it wrong for a guy in a relationship to look at porn?

Well I was bored and wanted to check out some porn and then remembered how my girlfriend doesn't like me looking at it. So I didn't. What's your opinion on this? I guess it could stem from "how" one goes about to looking at porn. But I doubt people really watch it as they watch a movie. It's pretty obvious why guys watch porn. It's to lust towards other women. I guess it could be a more subtle "to look at other hot women". But inevitably it's to lust. So if you?re in a relationship, the ideal would be why to lust towards other women if you already have one? Meh... what's your opinions on this guys and girls.
 
Get more from the hot gf, imo.

edit: Ok, so that's a bit lame of me to say. It depends on how much you respect each other's wishes, I guess.
 
Not at all.

I think it is perfectly healthy for males and females, in a relationship or not, to look at porn. It isn't cheating, it's just another form of arousal.

Americans can be so prudish when it comes to sex. Masturbate, have fun!
 
My opinion: if the woman puts out, then yes it is wrong if she is opposed to it (which is silly to begin with, but that is another discussion). If the woman does not put out, then no (you'll be looking at porn in your sleep and have a wet dream anyways).
 
My fiancee encourages it. It's just more practical sometimes.

EDIT: And btw, poll titles that contradict topic titles suck. I voted "no" after reading the topic question, but now realize that the poll asks the opposite.

EDIT 2: Also, I'd like to mention that she encourages it as long as it doesn't get to be an obsession to the point where I'd rather go solo instead of being with her when she's ready and willing.
 
wtf you seriously have to ask that...

well my g/f is cool with it as long as it not any weird stuff. Most women should realize that the porn you have been hording since your lonely college years is a collection of sorts and will stay with you forever. Men and porn are inseperable women just need to get over it.

your poll is misleading.

yep - you're not getting any realistic answers since some people are only reading the topic title and the rest are reading the poll question.
 
would you want her looking at gay porn?(i say gay cause i'm guessing this porn in question focuses mainly on the women, or shows women in a submissive/servile role)
 
My g/f watches pron with me. I don't really care for pron personally. I look at it and I'm done. I don't save it, I don't collect it, and I don't need it. Hell, I'm more excited by watching my g/f watch it than I am by actually watching it myself.

It all really depends on how serious you are about her. If it really bothers her and you think she might be the one then don't do it. But I'd also sit her down and explain that men and women look at porn in TOTALLY different ways.

Explain we men are visual creatures and it doesn't mean we desire a porn actress over the g/f because we look at it. Tell her it's essentially a tool to "get the job done". Hell I'd never want to be with a girl who did pron pictures/videos....and I think most men (at least the ones with SOME standards) would agree.

 
I don't see the problem in it. Been going out/married to the same woman for over 12 years now. She has no problem with me watching it or "releaving the stress". So long as I have energy to take care of things with her. 😉

It really does bother her. She had a sheltered life and before she found my old pron stash (which was in my closet, dvds that I forgot about) she had never seen porn in her life. I'm only asking this because she's been away on vacation for two weeks. When I'm with her I don't even think about porn (hence lost stash) but now it has creeped back in... I can think of her or look at pictures of her but it's not the same. I'm going to ask her to give me a personal stash for future times when we're away from eachother. Maybe that will solve this delema. I honestly just have a hard time visualizing her in an erotic way (it's not that she's not erotic, I just can't form a functional fantasy which stimulates me. I have to view the actual thing or a picture/video...)
