Is it normal my husband has photos of our friends and masturbates

I've been married for 2 months to the most amazing man. I was aware he masturbated on a regular to porn. Here is where the problem lies for me. He has been saving thousands of pics to his phone then transferring them over to his computer once his phone is to full. We have had conversations about why it is he does this. I myself would prefer he "does what he needs to" online, then deletes them. I'm having a hard time understanding the need to keep these. Prior to our wedding I had a photo shoot done and book made of some very sexy pics for him. Recently we had another discussion regarding the mass amounts of saved pics and he said he was going to delete them. Afew days ago I went into his phone to pull up some wedding pics and to my surprise not only were there hundreds of nude pics, there were now photos of 3 of my cousins. I confronted him and he came clean that he has masturbated to these pics, and their not even nude!!! He said it was poor judgement on his part. It just made is so real and to close to home for me. I understand the need or desire for men to have the fantasy world, it doesn't mean he doesn't love me or desire me. We actually have a great sex life. He is my best friend and allows me to be more free sexually then I have ever been in previous relationships.I feel so betrayed and distant from him. I'm not sure how to get past this. How am I suppose to feel at every family function from this point forward? I spent hours talking about this with him and crying over the situation. Just a little background, my previous husband of 20 years had an affair for 2 years with a woman we knew, so this really hits hard. I do t believe my husband is a cheater or would even think of straying, but the fact that he has visualized sex with my family members is a hard pill to swallow. Any feedback would be helpful...

    I would say he has a serious lack of respect for you. When he's sleeping grab his phone and start deleting the pictures. When he goes to work delete the pics on computer. If he had a shred of respect for you he would not even collect them. And who's to say the pictures won't lead to him chearing. (This from a guys p.o.v.)

    That's awful:( I would consider it cheating if he was jacking off to pictures of women he knew in real life and saving the pictures is unnecessary, I don't mind guys watching porn but when they're jacking off to people we know that's crossing the line.

      Thank you so much for the feedback, I'm so confused at this point. If there's any men willing to comment from your perspective, I would appreciate that as well.

    I would be extremely concerned. I'm sorry to say I think you may need to get out. He sounds like a good candidate to be a cheater. I'm really sorry this is happening to you.

    You both probably need some form of counselling for this. It's obviously a serious issue for you. If you and him don't address it now it's bound to get worse rather than better and may escalate to cheating etc.

    Marriage isn't always smooth sailing so you better get it sorted out sooner rather than later.
