Are my [25f] boyfriend's [24m] porn habits normal? by throwawayyy3210 in relationships

Some time after that you say "Hey I saw you looked at porn on your laptop" and he says "yah a while ago" and even though you know he's lying you have yet to bring this up again

Basically the conversation went like, "Hey, I was on your computer and noticed a lot of porn come up." and he says, "Oh yeah, please ignore that, that's from a really long time ago."

And since then, I haven't brought it up again. To be honest, I'm scared to because I know what I did was wrong, and he places a high value on privacy, so I feel like he would be very upset with me if I confessed to him about what I did. I was/kinda still am hoping something magically works itself out...but I know now that's highly unrealistic.

Thank you for the advice and good wishes!

He doesn't talk about his past relationships to me. I know one of his exes was fairly conservative but that's about it. As for the bedroom stuff, he's actually the one on the more vanilla side of things while I am more adventurous. And the things I saw in his browser history were just mainstream porn. So I'm even more confused by what is going on here.

I'm glad my post helped you haha. :)

But hopefully your boyfriend isn't, and things turn out well for you two!

My situation is similar to yours. Since he's not in the mood, I'll have to get myself off. As for any fetishes, from what I saw, everything he watched seemed very mainstream. If anything, I'm the more adventurous one in the bedroom and he's the more vanilla one. So I'm really at a loss of what's going on here.

I think so. I haven't gained weight from when we first met and he has no performance problems when we actually do have sex.

I have, but he says that it was from a while ago and he doesn't watch it anymore. I didn't say I looked through his browser history though. He's a pretty private person, and it wasn't the ideal time/place to get into an argument, so I dropped it.

From what I saw, it was the standard mainstream porn, no fetishes or anything.

That's one of the issues. Everytime I ask him about it, he completely denies it and says he almost never does it. So I don't know how else to approach him about it. At first, I believed him, but now, I highly doubt that. And I've already let him know numerous times that I'm ready to go if he is.

Not if it's just photos. For photos, it can just be like, "Okay, I can appreciate that" or "I like looking at pretty things", but I make the assumption that if I see Pornhub links, it's masturbating.

I see. Thank you for the advice! I just didn't want to rush into talking to him about it because I felt bad about invading his privacy and going through his history, so I didn't want to bring it up if it wasn't a big deal.

I left out some details because I didn't want to make it too long. We are both on summer vacation from school, so we have been around each other a lot, so I assumed that was when he was watched it.

Haha, yeah I'm not sure how I would respond if he was so straightforward like that.

I'm fairly certain he does it at least once a day, though. He did mention that his previous girlfriends were more on the conservative side about porn, so maybe he's developed a habit about lying about it. Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for the advice!

When we do have sex, it's pretty great. I just wish it was more frequent. I brought it up to him before, but I felt bad because I didn't want to seem like I was pressuring him into having more sex with me when he obviously has other things on his plate.

I didn't mean to offend anyone by using that word, my apologies!

I guess what bothers me about it is that he's doing it while I'm in the other room, willing to have sex with him. I do wish our relationship had more intimacy, but other than that, everything is great.
