hehe, pretty good pattern of responses here...why is she looking through your temp files and why does she care?

There's not much you say that would help you..."you don't satisfy me" or "you aren't enough for me" would really NOT help you...but yeah.

It's just some pictures...my exes have mostly enjoyed it :)

did you ever tell her that you didn't look at those things?

how would you feel if you found pictures of naked men on her computer?

I don't do it and I bet most guys don't do it. Do you realize how perverted that is?

You've never browsed for porn or even watched it ?
If you answer no, I think you're full of crap.
Porn on the internet is unavoidable.

I think she is the one who owes you an apology. She was snooping on your computer. I remember being young and immature and insecure, so I feel a certain amount of sympathy for her, but she needs to learn that 1) it's not ok for her to sneak around looking for stuff to get pissed off at you about, 2) looking at porn is not cheating, and 3) it's not ok to threaten to break up with someone in order to try to control him when what he is doing is perfectly normal. Make sure to get your balls back out of her purse before she leaves if you break up with her.

Tell her you didn't do it she must have and wished you would have known just how freaky she was before now.

Ive never met a guy who did not enjoy to look at nude women, how is it perverted? It's just another form of entertainment. I have a friend who's girlfriend knew he had porn and said it was ok as it was normal... its not like you can cheat on your GF with any of the girls in porn

Blah blah blah. Nevermind about all these people who are putting her down because she doesn't think porn is the greatest thing in the world. A good woman is worth more than porn any day of the week.

I've had a few close calls with things like this myself, the options are. These all assume she doesn't know to much about computers.

1. "My stupid cousin/friend/whoever was over looking at all this junk. I told him to turn it off but what am I gonna do, I'm not his mother".

2. "Damnit, freaking virus got in there somehow."

3. "What did you do!? Did you ever click some kind of pop up box or something when you were on my computer? Damnit, I hope this isn't a virus putting all this crap on here"

hheheh...yeah.

And I also forgot to mention that when you're telling her this you have to seem very concerned. Like you're computer could blow up at any moment unless you run Adaware right away.

Yeah, because we all know that it's better to lie to your girlfriend than to have an open and honest relationship. :roll:

Little white lies don't hurt anyone. Especially when it comes to oversensitive women. With the internet it's almost impossible not to view some porn every now and then (pop-ups, banners, etc.). Some women just don't understand that. Of course I don't know what exactly was on his drive so take what I wrote with a grain of salt.

I wouldn't be giving him this advice if he had said that he cheated on her.

This sounds like a good idea, but I agree with the others too in that why is she looking through your stuff? How old are you two btw?

Yeah my girlfriend was a little freaked out when she learned i look at porn from time to time (long distance relationship - i think we both have rights to look at porn lol) ...but u just got to tell her what she wants to hear - that you would have her rather then porn any day and that porn is most of the time disgusting, the chicks are fake, and u think of her when u look at it or u only use it to remind u of sex with her. I did this, it worked like a charm :)

Porn on the internet is unavoidable.
You mean the rare popup or banner on some obscure site you bump into while googling or following links? Sure...but it's easily closed and you go back and move on...I don't think that's considered watching it, though.

I've consciously avoided porn my whole life because of the words of a role model I respected growing up and because I never saw the point to it.

Tell her you were figuring out what your favorite breast size was so that when she went in to get some work done you'd know exactly what to have her order. :thumbsup:

i dont think you need to break up with her, just talk to her.

i have to admit i did the same thing with my last bf. i very much regret going through his stuff, but i am kind of glad that i did because it told me more about who he was. the reason that i got so upset about it was because he told me that he NEVER EVER looked at porn. i found this hard to believe, i mean ... doesnt everyone look at porn? but eventually i believed him and forgot about it. one day i came across something and that sparked my curiosity and i found out that not only did he look at porn quite often, it was weird porn. we wont get into that. so he lied and he liked weird sh!t. thats what upset me.

so now on to you. like the other people said, what kind of porn is it? and did you lie to her and tell her that you didnt look at it? these are very important factors in deciding if she has real reason to be mad.

btw, i like to watch porn with my boyfriend. i dont have a problem with him looking at it when im not around, but it does make me insecure. but you know what, hes a guy. guys do that. the end.
