Is it normal for your lover to leave you over porn?
My ex GF—the person I was in a long-distance relationship with until yesterday—who hates porn and doesn't want people she dates watching it—presented me with an ultimatum: "Me or porn."
Since I figure it's unlikely I'll never view something as ubiquitous as porn again I told her that I couldn't guarantee I'd never watch it again. She then told me that by not guaranteeing that I'll stop watching it that I value porn more than her and that I'm supporting rape.
I told her, time and time again, that by watching it it doesn't mean I value it more than her nor does it mean that I'd cheat on her and added that, though I believe that there are lots of shady people in the porn industry, probably none of the porn I've seen would constitute as rape (if I would find out any of the porn I've seen was rape I'd definitely never watch it again and hope that the people involved in the making of the video would get punished to the extreme for it).
I'm going to miss her like crazy but to have lied to her by telling her "Porn?! Nope—I'll never watch that again!" would have made me feel guilty because I know it would've happened sometime. There are times when mental stimulation just isn't enough.
Quitting porn, I'm sure, wouldn't have been much of a problem if I wasn't in a long-distance relationship with her. But we were in one which means that sex with her just wasn't possible all the time.
