No white knight here, but let me tell you, the porn deal is a slippery slope. Like I said in my previous post, my wife and I have been together 15 years, married 10 and have a GREAT sex life....but I had a point where porn was too big a part of my life and it basically ruined my desire for my wife. I'd find myself wanting to look at it everytime she was not around. I'd try to resist and sometimes would but sometime wouldn't. I don't look at porn anymore at all and try not to even look at sexy, provocative pictures, etc.. Instead I focus that energy on what I am going to do to my wife, with my wife, etc. the next time we are together.
Guys are visual (I know, duh!)...the more a guy looks at porn, the more he is going to be desensatized to the female body, at least that is how it was for me. As I looked at porn more and more, I needed more of it, more variety, and more outragous stuff to really get turned on, therefore good ol' hot and heavy sex with my wife didn't do it for me. I had to make a decision myself to give that stuff up, because it really hindered my desire for sex with my wife and my performance. Now I just focus on her and I am pretty good at that.
I know most all guys look at porn now days, but I really think it is dangerous to a healthy sexual relationship....especially a healthy sex in a monogamous relationship.

Porn is only a problem if you prefer it to your spouse.
But some guys have that problem with non-porn stuff, too. Once a friend and I had had dinner at a couple's house, the guy was playing a computer game, she draped herself over him and said, "come to bed, honey," in a tone which made it clear she wanted hot action.
"I have to finish this level," he said, not taking his eyes from the screen.
Other guys will be like that about sports, and then some woman will be that way with her exciting novel, or chatting to her friend on the phone, or whatever. Lots of people are easily distracted from intimacy with their spouse. I don't think porn is a particular issue, excepting only that if you have a few orgasms on your own, then when the spouse is interested, well the spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak, so to speak.
Leave some fuel in the tank for the drive home.

I think in every relationship I have ever had, I wanted sex more then my boyfriend at the time. I think just some women, like some men, have a high sex drive, in comparision to other women or even the men we are with.
The only way it may get better is to communicate what you want and need from him, any other way, probably won't work.
Does your boyfriend lift weights/workout? It does help the libido and relieves stress at the same time.
There are also herbs and some supplements that might help, for instance: yohimbe.
I would do some research and see what you can find out about it.Sleep is very important for weight reduction and for your immune system as well as your mental/emotional health.
Without your health you don't have much.

^^^ this
I'd say that while porn viewing is to each's own, if you end up sneaking to view it, to avoid your spouse/SO, there's a problem there. It's a very addictive habit...experts have likened it to a brain on *******, the same pleasure sensors are stimulated, and thus need the rush that the substance provides. I thought that was interesting.

My advice? For whatever it's worth...I'd find a new guy. You shouldn't have to beg for sex...nor be a competitor to your bf's porn use. Yeah, men will view porn...but to prefer it to you...(just from what you post here, it seems like he does, because you have to do the initiating most of the time) shows me that he has a problem. Keep communicating, but my advice...if this keeps up, I'd say goodbye to this guy. There are so many men in the world who would treat you better, and why spend a minute feeling bad about yourself? Not worth it, if you ask me. {{{hugs}}}

guess that is what I meant....obviously porn can be OK in moderation for some in the right frame, etc.. I never "preferred it" to my spouse, but I found myself with idle time looking at it more and more. It seemed to escalate. I just looked at it a good bit when we weren't together and I felt it took away from our sex. Anyway, I found that it sort of made me a little more numb to my wife. I just find it is better for me, personally, to stay away from it. It keeps me really hot after my wife and I prefer that. That is what I was getting at.
sorry, obviously I did not explain it very well. I am not very good with words.Last edited by gtdmb; 06-02-2010 at 07:24 AM.

I've been dating my boyfriend for 8 years now. We don't live together, but we live in the same town, so we see each other frequently. We have sex at least 5-7 times per week. Sometimes more, but never really any less than that. He's in med school, so his schedule is kinda wacky, especially during rotations - which he starts again in July. Oh boy.
The question is not "who is going to let me," it's "who is going to stop me?"

To me, it doesn't matter if he is viewing porn, or not viewing it...if you feel bad in the relationship, if you feel ''cheated,'' if you feel on totally separate pages with sex and other things...it's time to reassess the relationship. BEFORE you marry him. Marriage won't cure the problems you had when you're dating...they'll only get worse. So, my advice would be to really think if there is a future here...or are you only going to be sad and offended if you stay with this guy.
Don't settle. Good sex isn't enough to keep a relationship going. Trust me.
