What kind of girl doesn't know that guys watch and KEEP porn on their computer?

That's our indirect way of saying you're not satisfying me enough, try harder!.

I think that's the best analogy I've ever heard.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre? :confused:

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.

Would you have a problem with your girlfriend/wife looking at male porno without your knowledge? Probably....

I think this all depends on the extent of viewing. For example, if I'm watching porn for an hour a night, I have bigger issues than simply visual stimulation. Same for her. If I watch it once every now and then it really isn't a big deal, and I would have no problem if she did the same.

not enough to break up with her. but then again, as already pointed out, we don't know the whole situation. maybe he lied, in which he deserves to be left, or maybe they just didn't communicate it... so it is just a bit extreme... who knows.. the OP died off somewhere. heh

Yeah, everytime I think about disintegration I remember the Chinua Achebe novel which reminds me of Yeats and I sometimes take drmataic license with my posts so :)-

Nope. No problem at all. Why would it bother me?

Furthermore, there wouldn't be any reason to hide it from me anyway. A healthy sexual appetite is good for both of us.

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.

Will you marry me :)

Guy, people have been looking at porn since... forever. About the only new facet to it is the hyper-capitalized state it's in now. And really, there has never been a golden age of morality for mankind; just states of less depravity. Honestly, what are you pining for?

Eesh...

As to the OP; best tell her the truth. You love her, will always be with her, but enjoy the odd little rub and tug now and again. What does she want of you? You're already monogomous with her. Does she want you to get a nice pair of leather blinders like they have on horses, so you can't view any of the other females in your age bracket when walking down the street? As has been pointed out, it's not like you're a collector. Heck, most of our father's here had a small stash of girlie mags (which we ended up finding, naturally). As long as it's not effecting your relationship, it's cool. Though the fact that she resorts to rooting through your damned internet cache, and took the time and effort to isolate the porn related pics, shows that she has some creepy control issues. The threatening to break up with you unless you koto before her is another sign of that.

And as to those saying that "maybe he lied/didn't tell her"... unless he said explictily that he does not view it, he wasn't lying and she's just picking this as a point to harp on. He's a guy... and as the vast majority of us have shown in this thread, electronic poon is a fact of life.

-- Jack

The Motorola 6809, used in the Radio Shack Color Computer and in U.K.'s `Dragon 32' personal computer, actually had an official `SEX' instruction; the 6502 in the Apple II with which it competed did not. British hackers thought this made perfect mythic sense; after all, it was commonly observed, you could (on some theoretical level) have sex with a dragon, but you can't have sex with an apple.

Next time, create a folder called "porn stuff" to place all your porn material. The next time your girlfriend is looking for porn in the temp folder, she won't find any!

She's probably a bit distressed that somehow she isn't the center of your attention. If she's a gem, try and talk to her respectfully about it.

If it's just been a month or two, I don't see why you'd want to stay with her. This could mean that she has a few more things you won't like.
