Is the way i feel about porn normal?

I think that the majority of girls feel the same way. As an occasionally-porn-watching guy, I've discussed porn vaguely with female friends before. I've always been met with similar reactions: "it is gross", "it would make me feel uncomfortable", "it doesn't interest me", "it is a turn-off", "it would make me feel unwanted/objectified", or words to that effect.

Of course there are some girls who watch porn or are "cool with it", but I don't think most are (even if this site would suggest otherwise, our members are not exactly a good representation of societies views on sex). I don't think it makes you stifling, a bad girlfriend or un-modern to feel the way you do. The key is discussing this sensibly with your boyfriend and reaching a position where he is satisfied and you are comfortable. He should be willing to at least hear you out.

"first of all, I don't really like porn." sorry but nothing in that first statement leads us to think anything other than you are an individual who doesn't like porn. Where did you think we would gather from that sentence that you are a female? Further, whether you are male or female doesn't suggest that you will or will not like porn more or less than the other sex. If you don't, then that is fine, but these days men and women both enjoy porn...often as an addition to stimuli prior to and during sex.

You have said what you feel but not why. I personally don't like most porn because it is fake if that makes sense. I prefer armature porn and porn that is more real. Your distaste for porn seems to come from a combination of jealousy and disgust with sex.

The more you watch the less it turns you on, that's when the problem starts. You start looking for more ex-stream stuff, and do on until normal healthy sex means nothing even when your doing it with your partner.

If there is a moral to these facts it is don't over do it, if your partners watching porn watch with then that way you keep it in check.

I feel the same :0(

I'm a girl and I watch porn too. I guess you can be more understanding if you watch it too. It's not replacing my bf in any means. I did ask what kind of porn he watches because if it's rape or beastiality or something I can't perform then we'd have a problem. Turns out it's just good ol girl on girl or girl on guy action. No big deal.

Here's a simple solution: Stop being a selfish bitch and give him his own space.

I'm a girl and I watch porn.

I completely agree. I feel like I wrote this. My jealousy consumes my life. I try to be secretive about it, but eventually it reveals itself. I'm afraid I will never be happy bc of it.

Let me tell you about Porn for involved men and why their women should love it.

They get to pretend to sleep with other women without actually doing it. Sounds stupid I know. But would you rather him be out sticking his sausage in another woman's hot box? No, you probably wouldn't. So learn to appreciate porn, even if you personally don't dig it.

I'll tell you how I went from liking it to hating it to loving it. I found the type of porn I like to watch. :D I'd be upset if my boyfriend didn't like it..I would still secretly watch it.

Thanks everyone I appreciate hearing your different opinions!

For clarification, i have no interest in controlling my man's life. I am not going to ask him to change his habits because of my personal feelings because I believe what he does privately is his personal space.

The reason behind my question is about MY feelings towards porn.

I am not a religious person, but I feel I have high moral standards. I guess porn is offensive to me for a number of reasons, I don't like how men and women are objectified, I dont like the unrealistic depiction of sex... I have tried watching before but I feel turned off by how fake it seems. But I would definitely say I am sexual and my tastes aren't "vanilla".

So while it is something I don't like, I wish I could find a way to be more accepting of it.

I don't like porn either, but I'm not religious. As a child I went to church and I'm sure they had negative views on love. I used to be terrified of it. For instance, when I first came on tumblr, there was allot of "porn" on my dash and I was scared to post anything with some form of unity in it.

Now I've gotten used to it and I'm not as frightened of it as I was before. I've come to accept some of it for the most part. I learned that there's nothing wrong with The human body and loving someone.

I guess it's normal, but to a point. I've never become enraged over it, but used to feel bad about it. Just because your boyfriend loves porn doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. You're studying psychology, right? What does Freud think on the matter?

Many families in my church end because of the complications of watching porn. My father watched it and it destroyed my parents' sex life-another nail in the coffin containing their marriage. I was often exposed to it. My husband's parents fought violently, at all hours of the night-even got the police called to their house several times because Mom was so upset that Dad watched porn. It breeds that hatred and resentment because ultimately what it does is reduce women to sexual objcts.

Perfectly normal. I don't know any women that feel "ok" with their men watching porn.

What is your opinion on animal porn then?^^
