Groan. C'mon people! If your girlie has a problem with porn, you either need to get better at hiding it or lose the girlfriend! Sheesh.

My wife helped me build a few Pr0n sites when I was doing that a few years ago! (Still won't pose for me tho... Sigh)

90 gigs..... damn

i probably have a few gigs, but i don't think the size tells you if you have a problem. i know that i just dl, watch, and just leave 'em there for a rainy day. so it's not like i just sit there and watch all 5 gigs or whatever, it's just that i don't bother to delete them and i get a few new ones every day.

Losing the girlfriend means that you're putting pornography as a higher priority than the girlfriend. Why, if you're going to be so inconsiderate (unless your girlfriend just doesn't give a crap about anything) toward your girlfriend, why the fvck do you have a girlfriend in the first place? Treating people like that isn't cool, folks.

Get a grip on reality --unless you prefer a computer screen or TV to the real thing.

Of you just give your girlfriend her own login. Then log out when you're not home (or lock for 2k or xp). You people need to think outside the box. :p

What the hell is her problem with it? If she continuously gives you trouble, make her hit the road. Do you really want to be apologizing for something you feel is fine?

You don't OWE her an explanation for anything, but you may feel free to give one to her. Hell, and when you find a girl worth keeping around, you'll have this great story to tell about how you dumped a girl in favour of porn. Hmm, on second thought you may not want to tell that story. :p

Not necessarily. It could very well mean that you wish to make a choice to not have such an insecure and intolerant g/f. Some people prefer g/f's who have open minds, open hearts, and open spirits.

90 gb sounds reasonable to me.

seriously though, just laugh it off and stop being a pussy. "Of course I watch porn, I'm a normal guy biatch."

Perhaps that's a touch abrasive, but you get the picture. I told my gf that it's just a normal thing for guys and she was perfectly accepting.

And some significant others simply expect to have the feelings that are associated with that level of intimacy reserved for that "something-special" that the two of them share. :)

The thing is....most PEOPLE...not just girls will not tolerate porn. It's a huge moral issue..there's a chapter in my ethics book dedicated to just pornography. If society (ESPECIALLY american society) deems it indecent and inappropriate that's how most people will think of it. Just like the whole issue of homosexuality...or human cloning or abortion. It's not about being close minded..it's about having morals.

Now thats a classic line for a signature. LoL, Just tell her you'll share the porn with her. :) If she wants you can watch it together. Might learn couple new tricks from it. only thing i could offer is that time will smooth things out.
good luck bro.

I disagree, and I think on some level you may disagree as well:

but I wouldn't mind getting "into it too" as you put it. I actually have on occasion suggested we do that..but he's never really wanted to. Guess some guys are just selfish about their porn.

Morality is not absolute. If most people did not tolerate porn, there would not be so much of it nor so much demand for it. Your issue with your b/f was only indirectly the porn itself; it had more to do with communication between the two of you.

Maybe that's what they say outside of their homes...but how the hell is porn a billion dollar industry then? Don't tell me there's only 1,000 people gobbling all that porn up. The irony of porn is that people want to watch it...but are afraid of admitting they watch it...and condemn the people in it.

om FREAKING g

you realize that softcore porn is on BROADCAST tv in europe? why is it only in america that a tit flash can cause holy hell but repetitive gunfights and car explosions gets nothing

anyway to the point, you got to work it out with gf, like when you say you cant mix the two: porn and gf together

the problem isnt your gf
its you
i would say you dont respect the girls in porn, most ppl dont, but think is THAT why you try to separate your relationship from porn - you think you dont respect your gf?
