There is a difference between women watching romantic movies (aka chick flicks) and reading romance novels and men watching porn. Women don't act on what they read or see in the movies like men "jack off" to porn.
I understand that women and men think differently.
I am an average built women and I have nothing against women who are larger than I am. However my boyfriend watches porn of "chubby" women. This upsets me because I feel as though my body is inadequate. Then my brain starts spinning wondering if he'd rather be with a larger woman. I know he has been with larger women in the past and i am desperately trying to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight after having 3 pregnancies. He always tells me I am fine the way I am, but I am having such a difficult time getting past the porn... It feels like it's a blow to my self-esteem and yes it does make me feel like I'm not good enough for him.... that he'd rather have sex with an image, than with me. I love him so much, but am just having a very hard time dealing with this. (I've had trust issues due to men cheating including my ex-husband in the past.)
