Is it normal that my boyfriend is obsessed with other women ?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a long time. I have always noticed he is infatuated with the internet. He is always going online and watching videos of girls shaking their asses,doing slutty things , and showing off their boobs and more. I have expressed to him several times that this makes me uncomfortable and I find it very disrespectful for someone to do this to a girlfriend they say is the love of their life. I understand men will always be men. But it's to the point that all day while I'm at work he sits for hours and watch videos of other women doing very provocative and lude things. I am wondering if this is something that I am being too sensitive about , or if my boyfriend has such little respect that I need to reconsider my options.

    No one is asking the most important question here. How often do you two have sex? There may be a reason he looks at porn so much...

    He might be addicted to porn, and you could probably do better.

      My thoughts exactly.
      You shouldn't let a moderate amount of male ogling bother you at all, but this seems a bit overboard. Get him help or get out; it is not healthy for either of you.

      I'm starting to wonder if he is addicted. We have spoke about it so many times and he just keeps doing it. He tells me he's sorry and he understands then goes right back.

    That doesn't sound right. He shouldn't need to do that all day, especially if you are the love of his life there shouldn't be room for him to constantly look at that stuff.

      That is exactly what I said to him. He's like your right I'm sorry, then does it all over again.

        Exactly, it's really disrespectful to you and the relationship. If there are other issues too, you should maybe give him his marching orders.
        The thing is, one day when he grows up he will probably realise how disrespectful and innappropriate he is being, but it might take for you to break up with him to realise it.

      • Just let him watch butt sluts on the interwebs. He will always come back to you afterwards I'm sure.

    My own take on it is... him looking at porn has nothing to do with you.

    You have to realize that you cannot control his orgasms. It's his body.

    Plus your estimation of how much porn he watches may be flavored by your feelings against it. If you're at work all day how do you know he's just sitting around for the entire time jerking off?

    Remember, you've already stated that you're against him watching porn in the first place. So when you see him watching, do you react with "there he goes AGAIN" and assume that's all he does, or do you consider what else he might be doing during the day as well.

    "Men will be men"? Please you are making excuses and these kinds of comments are allowing men to behave badly. My man does not do this and if he did he wouldn't be my man. You know they also have very attractive men on the internet also. Go home to him and just tell him to scoot over and see how he feels about you lusting over the personal areas of men. I don't want a man whore in my life. Women have the same sexual burdens that men do. All women see men to whom they are attracted and they have the same arousals. I choose to keep myself clean in my thoughts and my actions and I would not have a man that lowers themselves to these types of behaviors. Stand strong and let him know if you find it repulsive and if he moves on... let him go. There are men out in the world that will love you up and not behave this way. I only once had a man in my life that did this to play the jealous game. He didn't really care about looking at other women he just wanted me to be jealous and react. I called him out on it and told him to quit being so insecure and immature. Stand up to him and tell him the way it is going to be. He is being terribly disrespectful to you... I hope you the best, dear, really.

    I would be offended if my boyfriend preferred other women to me too.

    "But it's to the point that all day while I'm at work he sits for hours and watch videos of other women doing very provocative and lewd things."

    And my question for you would be why is he at home while you're out working; does he have a job of his own? Please tell me you're not financially supporting him while he sits on the computer all day long. If he's unemployed he needs to be cooking, cleaning and doing grocery shopping just like a housewife is expected to do instead of loafing on the computer and polishing the dolphin.

    I was married to an unemployed alcoholic who would just sit around getting drunk and useless; playing video games all day while I was at work. I'm happy to say I divorced him after 3 months! One day I called him from the break room after I got off work and decided life is too short to waste with someone like that. I haven't looked back nor missed him one bit since. You can choose not to put up with bullshit. Many men and women put up with a lot of senseless crap from their partners because they're afraid of being alone. I can honestly say from experience it's much better to be alone and free than with the wrong person. If I were you I'd seriously reconsider my options!

    From everything i just read, sounds like your boyfriend is addicted to porn. However, that truly doesn't much. Most men will look at things of this nature. I, myself do. I don't know how sexually active you are, but this could just be an outlet for him. On the other side, i do agree with you and that he should respect you feeling on this "porn obsessed issue". I think its a bit of both.

    True story: One time I was using a Saudi Arabian ISP (luckily without actually being there) and got a notice that the site I was trying to reach was blocked. The message, which was in multiple languages, helpfully informed me that they filter, among other things, lewd content. Except they misspelled it "lude", just like you did. So you're in good company... kinda. Maybe you should move there so your BF can't look at these videos.

    You should complain when he start to cheat on you ... for some porn is an addiction like drugs so they can't help with it.... it is totally normal there is no question of disrespect toward you in any way

      If he's so obsessed with women online that he can't stop, then god only knows what he does in real life.

  • Sometimes the best thing to do is to accept it, but to do the same back. Make them understand how it feels so he can relate with you.

    If he expects you to stop while he continues, then personally, you need to either accept it, or for the better choice, see how insensitive to you he is and find someone better.

      That's something I don't really want to do. Not interested in dirty videos. Lol

      • You don't have to be, just look like you are. This is to make him know how it feels, not to actually enjoy the videos.

        Sometimes people need to be able to relate to understand. I would suggest trying this.
