 I'd be the last person to object to porn-watching in normal circumstances, but 6 hours of it would be mind-numbingly boring. Sounds suspiciously obsessive. Has he shown similar addicted behavior before?

Doesn't he get hungry or have 'personal needs breaks 'in the six hours? Where are you in this scenario? Get your coat and leave the dude in his own world.

 Um....yeah. Problem is an understatement. Your man is a freak and needs help. I once had a boyfriend that was addicted to porn (particularly ones about oral sex)...the problem was that I gave this man oral pleasure at LEAST two times a day! And it was never enough. He still looked at the porn. This is a major sign of disrespect, not to mention its degrading and disgusting. Dont let modern America fool you into believing that this kind of behavior is "normal" for men. My bf that I have now never looks at porn and he actually agrees with my view about it. Sure, a man is gonna think other women (or men) are attractive, but I draw the line with pornography--and then to do it in front of you? Its one thing if you are okay with this, but clearly you are not because you are asking the question. Get a real man with a JOB and a hobby that doesnt involve pornography. And do it fast! Im sure you are a beatiful person and you dont deserve this kind of disrespec. I wish my man would look at porn for that long--I would literally kick his ass myself and pour coffee all over his sacred shrine of whores.

Talk to him about it. If he continues to watch porn for hours on end, you might want to evaluate whether you want to be in this relationship -- decide if it really bothers you or not and how it makes you feel. If you're OK with it -- and HONESTLY OK with it -- then continue on. If it makes you even the least bit uncomfortable or resentful, you have a choice to make.

 Most would find that to be a problem yes. I'd certainly think it was obsessive and wrong.

 Six hours is far beyond pushing it. It sound like an addiction and that he is lost in a fantasy world. I think counseling would be good for him or even just talking to you to get to the route ot the problem.
This is a case where porn is a problem because of the time spent on it. If he only watched it for half an hour would it be better for you? I just want to be clear that the time is what is bothing you and not the act itself.

 Does he believe you're comfortable with it?
I personally find it to be quite..rude of him.
6 hours is also a very long time to be watching it, with you there or not.
Maybe you should talk to him about it and ask why he does it?
