The first boyfriend I had was into really very hardcore stuff and not ashamed about sharing it, so when I started dating men who were happy with just moderately naughty pictures I didn't really believe them for a while because it's not what I was used to! there are definetly a lot of men who find hardcore porn "too much" even if they like the softer stuff.Most people, including women, I think enjoy erotic imagery of some kind, at least occasionally, even if they don't consider it to be porn in the strictest sense.

"Is there any women here whose boyfriend/husband doesn't look at porn?"
My husband doesn't.
"If they don't do you know for sure?"
I'm pretty sure he doesn't. We share a computer and I have never found anything on it. We are also together 24 hours a day (both work from home)so I don't know when he would find the time.
"Where did you find them?"
We met at an anxiety support group.
"Did you have to tell them to stop?"
No. He was never really interested in it. The only problem is that he doesn't seem very interested in sex either, lol. He has aspergers syndrome. I don't know if that makes any difference or not.

reader, anonymous, writes (12 February 2013): I believe there are VERY few men who don't use it at least occasionally while in a relationship/marriage. My husband and I have been married for 3 years, and together for 4 years. For the entire first year, he used it about once a week, and cut back to once a month after we got married. I didn't ask him to, but he told me he wanted to. Then, he wound up wanting to give it up all together, because he started to realize he was needing to watch more "hardcore" material. The normal stuff wasn't exciting to him anymore. He felt ashamed of some of the things he'd watched, so he wanted to just stop watching it. He came to me for advice, and I agreed to help him. I set up a guest account on his laptop, and he left me in charge of the main account. I reset the password so he was locked out, and then I set up parental controls on the guest account. That way, if he tried to look up porn, he was blocked. After about 3 months, I gave him the password to the main account, and he deleted the guest account. By this time, he felt pretty confident he was able to get on the computer without being tempted to look at porn. Also, neither of us had internet access on our phones, so I know for those entire 3 months, he was "clean". As far as I know, he hasn't looked at it since. This was July of 2010. Now, don't hold me to that, because there is no way I can know for sure. It's way too easy to hide porn use. All you have to do is erase the internet history and cookies, which takes like 2 seconds. Or, just use private browser. All I have is his word, and I choose to trust him.You will have to do the same if you get in a relationship with a guy, and he tells you he doesn't use it.

 My bf doesn't. He was the one who suggested neither of us do it at the beginning of our relationship. He watched a bit in high school, but he's not that visual a person to begin with and he didn't like the way it felt. So he never got in the habit.

 As far as I know my first husband did not look at porn and probably still does not. I may be wrong. If he did he kept it very very quiet. We never even talked about it.
IF I did not ask my current husband I would never know he looks... it has no impact on me.... except when he watches it and comes to bed to find me to love on me instead of taking care of himself.

 Yes there is a small but growing number of men that don't use porn. This is because some men are realizing that using porn has harmful effects and want to avoid these. These effects can range widely: things like lack of interest in 'real' women, difficulty with intimacy during sex, depression, social anxiety, problems getting an erection without porn (ie with a real woman), problems achieving orgasm, low motivation, lack of energy, etc.
This website describes this in detail, as well as many many stories from men who have stopped or are trying to stop porn:

 How much does pornography use by your SO affect you? If it's really important to you, you're better off finding someone who shares your views of not watching pornography because trying to change someone from a porn user to a non-user is pretty difficult and maybe a little unfair to them. Before you get too deep into a relationship, maybe you should ask your partner that question first. Better you find out early before becoming too committed. That way, you also have more time to find the right person for you. Coincidentally, another anonymous user of your age group and from your country posed a question about pornography use by her SO about 2 days ago. A lot of the agony aunts and uncles who replied seemed to think that the bf was using porn behind the OP's back. Some even suggested that demanding he cease watching porn to be a futile exercise. If you can't change him (usually you can't, and it's not really the right thing to do by him anyway) and you can't stand him, then leave him.

I have a man who used to watch porn but he hasn't since we've been together. I know for sure because I have asked him. I found this man at a university. I didn't tell him to stop, in fact, I told him I'm more than OK if he wants to watch porn and would even be interested in watching with him. He just doesn't want to because he thinks he doesn't need it now, that he would be disrespecting me, and that if I watched it with him, I would be scarred for life.
