Is it normal that my boyfriend watches porn even when i wana have sex?

I'm 24 years old and my bf is 23. We've been together for almost a year and we live together. I'm horny always, I wanna have sex at least once a day but he's not like that. Sometimes he likes to watch porn and help himself. He does that just because. Not in front of me though.... My question is, why does he do that even knowing that if he wants we could have sex?!

    Hm. lots of opinions voiced but none i really agree with 100%, so i guess it's time to write myself...

    First of all: How openly do you talk about sexuality? How often do you initiate sex?
    It sounded a bit like "I'm horny all the time and whenever he wants, we can have sex". While many guys prefer to be the initiating part when it comes to sex, many also want the female to express her sexuality...that is, come on to him, show him that she desires him...even "use" him for their satisfaction.

    Also, almost everybody i know or knew kept masturbating during relationships. Sometimes you are just too tired after a long day to still have sex(especially true for guys if you're letting them do most of the work), sometimes the partner is not available when you're in the mood(e.g. when i'm in at work), sometimes you just want another phantasy(and don't want to look your boyfriend into the eyes as you imagine black bulky twins double-teaming you and your best friend, or, in the case of your boyfriend, not looking in your eyes as he imagines himself with a swedish exchange student and your sister).

    A boyfriend long ago explained to me that he likes phantasizing(and watching porn) about girls that look different from me, things he doesn't get from me, e.g. big breasts. Thats not to say he would have preferred such a girl. His next girlfriend and now his wife were/are both almost as flatchested as i am. *shrug* Guys seem to dig diversity a bit and fulfill that desire with porn. As long as you have a vivid sex life and are satiesfied i wouldn't worry too much about it.

    OP are you top or bottom (or either)? Just asking because my answer depends on knowing that.

    I don't want to worry you or anything, but please take this into consideration.

    After watching porn for such a long time and depending on it for sexual gratification, some men become incapable of appreciating actual female company in the stead of virtual sex.

    I'd suggest that you take him into therapy if he can't help himself and is willing to change for you. I'm sure there are places in your area that offer free or very cheap therapy, maybe a university.

    "Sometimes he likes to watch porn and help himself. "

    This is normal. Satisfying your partner can be WORK. Rubbing one out is all about yourself and your own pleasure.

    And there's nothing wrong with that. Even if your partner gets jealous.

    Seems odd to me. Why jerk it to porn when you have access to a perfectly good vagina, especially if you wanted to get laid. I mean occassionally i guess is ok, but not every time. That's like eating bologna everyday when you have a fridge full of filet mignon.

      Because it takes work.

      Sometimes you just want a fast orgasm without having to deal with all the work involved in getting your partner off

        That's fine and i agree. Sometimes being the key word you used. When you've got a partner that wants to get laid but instead you prefer to beat off to porn all the time is when it becomes an issue. If you'll see my post, i said occassionally is fine. However, if your partner is wanting sex but you constantly focus on your own preferences it seems pretty damn selfish. In a relationship you've got to consider the other person's needs. And maybe i misinterpreted the post but it seemed that was the case.

          how often do you consider "all the time"?

          I ask because yes it IS perfectly acceptable to be selfish sometimes.

          I would personally recommend asking him. But, don't turn it into a "beat him up over beating off" issue either cos that will probably not get you the results you want.

        Oh. In that case, why eat bologna every day when you have a fridge full of rump roast. Ha

    All I can imagine is that he is self-conscious about his performance in bed. It seems like he gets horny, but he is just reluctant to sleep with you often. Maybe you should try watching porn with him sometimes, and jerk him off or give him head while he is watching it. Who knows? One thing could lead to another, and you could be on the road to getting it on. (;
