Why do men who are attracted to their girlfriends watch porn

[Curiouswoka]

Srs question. I’m an objectively attractive, fit young female. I know my boyfriend watches porn about once a week. For the most part it doesn’t bother me but I’d like a little perspective as to why. Our sex life is great. There are no performance issues. I never turn him down he never turns me down. We are both up for trying new things. We’re both fit and attractive. The porn he looks at is tame. Milfs, ebony, secretary, etc. (I’m a 20 something blonde white girl who’s in shape). So I’m just curious about the porn usage. Is just to look at things that aren’t me? It has nothing to do with him having a higher sex drive as I’m always in the mood and our schedules line up pretty well. I’m also sure he’s attracted to me and likes having sex and trying new things with me. I’m just wondering why men who are completely satisfied with their girlfriends sexually and appearance wise also look at porn. Thanks!

Honestly, watching porn and having a quick fap is just that, quick. There is no engagement with someone else, no having to get someone in the mood, foreplay, or an hour cuddling in the afterglow. It's just a quick toss to relieve stress or get a quick dopamine hit, and then get on with the evening, day, whatever. It doesn't mean he doesn't want to be with you, because as you say, you still have a good sex life. It's just some time alone.

However, if he was doing it for hours on end, or multiple times a week, that would be a different story.

It's not about you. How do you know when and what he watches?

Who cares? If your sex life is good and you're a secure person, why does it matter.

Why would you think it's an alternative to you? It's just jacking off. Porn is not high art. It's for quick release.

Yup, porn is nothing but a quick thrill/release.

Years ago, my bf and I would watch it on occasion - it got him excited (in the mood).  Plus, many guys had  'their magazines'.  I didn't, I never cared for that.

EVERYONE likes to look.

As mentioned, has nothing to do with you.. a little thrill now & then is fine.
