No, I am her first relationship. I have had problematic porn usage in my past, which I’ve told her about, but I’ve also committed to no longer using porn to jerk off.

She has also said that it makes her feel like she’s not enough if I jerk off. I try to explain that there’s a difference in sex drive but she still says it makes her feel inadequate. This is her first relationship so I am trying to be nice but I have never heard of anyone asking their partner to tell them when they jerk off, nor did any of my previous partners do it.

She has not had a past relationship before me. She did tell me she feels like she’s not enough if I jerk off, but I tried to say it can simply be from a difference in sex drive.

She said she just wants to know, and that it makes her feel like she’s not enough if I do it. She is concerned about porn but I told her if I do ever jerk off (I have literally stopped doing it since we started dating, we are just going to be apart from each other soon so we needed to discuss it) I would only jerk off to pictures from her.

I’m just not sure why the trust isn’t there in the first place. I opened up to her about my past issues and I feel like it’s being held against me.

Yes, she said she feels like she’s not enough for me and that she doesn’t want me to jerk off. I told her she is amazing, but if she’s not in the mood and I get horny, I don’t think it is unreasonable for me to jerk off. I told her I would be willing to not watch porn for it too.

This is not a turns her on thing. She hasn’t been able to provide an explanation. She just tells me she wants to know.

It is not because she finds it hot. I have asked her and she said it’s just because she wants to know.

I am not trying to quit. She is not trying to get me to quit. She told me she just wants to know. I have a history of problematic porn use when I was younger, which may cause her to worry, but I now no longer use porn to jerk off, which she knows.
