I told him I just don't feel right him doing that because it makes me think their more attractive then me. I mean when I try to talk to him he always changes the subject. What can I do to try to be more attractive or anything to get him to stop and talk to me. Thanks

A man could have the most attractive woman in the world next to him and still feel the need to look at other woman or porn. The best thing to do in this situation is to allow him freely to do it, even participate and you will find that it will help. You should never feel that you are any less than what you are, forbidding him or fighting with him will not help it will only make him keep doing it.

What about the fact that he is contributing to the exploitation of women who were (most of them anyway) sexually abused as kids.....You women who condone porn are worse than the men that use it...You should know better

In order to overcome the problem i embraced it. we now watch soft porn together, whilst masterbating each other. it really is fantastic. i even put it on myself whilst he was going down on me. it's fine once you embrace it but i do remember how i used to feel. it used to get me very down and made me feel extremely conscious. just ask him to be a bit more selfless and think about how u are feeling. it is normal for men to watch and enjoy porn. good luck xxx

I have the same problem with my current boyfriend I've come to realise that he is obsessed by porn as well. i don't understand it myself why they can't resist it and just not do it if it makes you feel uncomfortable. i think to be honest all blokes are the same where porn is concerned and its somethin that us women are just going to have to put up with. just do what I do and think wel I'd rather them look than touch. i think porn and men are just things we'll never quite understand.

reader, anonymous, writes (26 February 2007): I look at porn sometimes but I still find my wife to be the most attractive person I know. Bottom line, men and women need to have variety, otherwise they will tend to stop enjoying the person their with out of bordom. Best way to increase his desire to be with you is to allow him to look at the stuff and play into his fantasy. Ask him questions about it while he is focused on you sexually. Tempt him with steamy questions and indicate you might want to indulge him in them. He might want a threesome or other stuff you may or may not want. You don't have to do anything you don't want, but if lets say, its a threesome you might want to whisper in her ear as you are having sex for him to imagine a girl/or guy doing things to you and how hot it would be. He'll have the time of his life and you should to. This is called playing with each other. If he can't trust you enough to open up to you about his deepest fantasies out of fear of rejection, then how close will you two ever become?

 Pornography often starts as a way to fuel fantasy, and can then become an addiction. Unless the addiction becomes out of control, it is usually not considered too much of a threat to a relationship (sometimes porn can actually save a relationship).
His looking at other women is an extension (and habit) of his viewing of women on his computer as objects. It doesn't necessarily mean he's gone off you.
As uncomfortable as it may seem, perhaps you could write down fantasies or other sexual acts that you'd be comfortable acting out or experimenting with. You could show parts of this list to your husband and then try out new games etc. It's important, though, that you both enjoy and feel comfortable with the new approach to sex.

It's not about you being unattractive, so i'd suggest that u don't need to chnage at all. it's just a man thing, its nothing personal, and doesn't even mean that he fancies them. men tend to mastuabte more than women and often like visual stimuation to do it. Try not to worry, it's really not a big deal. If you really just can not accept it thought then perhaps tell him this, but it may lead to him doing it behind your back beacuse the chance are- hel'' have done it sunce he was 12! You could trying watching it with him and getting involved.... but thats up to you! GG x
