How do you feel about your SO watching or looking at pornography? Have your feelings about it ever changed?

I don't mind at all. If our relationship were different, I might feel differently.

I hated it when I was younger with previous boyfriends...now I couldn't care less. I have no idea if Dh looks at it or not bit things are really good with us so it's not an issue.

Doesn't bother me. I think there are a lot of reasons why it could bother someone, but we don't currently have any circumstances in which it would personally bother me.
I don't recall it ever being something I was worried about in our 12 years.

It doesn't bother me at all. Shrugs. The only way it would bother me if it was interfering with our sex life.

It would be such a departure from my husband's personality that it would cause me to think something was up, honestly.

My feelings about it have changed a few times during my life stages. My husband has free porn apps on his phone.

I don't mind it at all. If it interfered with our sex life, his work, or our finances I'd have an issue. He just uses it to rub one off occasionally, which I have no problem with.

Same as @looch:
Hubs thinks it's important for us to all have a shared space, so even in our free time we can all be together. Our family room/computer nook/LO's play room is where we all chill, so he'd have to be mighty sneaky to squeeze in some porn time!

I don't care, nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't interfere with work or our personal life.

It's an absolute no-go here. And, this is not a reflection of our relationship. We are incredibly happy and secure, and we both trust each other implicitly. But, that sort of "entertainment" is not okay for us.

I don't mind it. It doesn't interfere with our sex life so I'm ok with it. And right now, being pregnant, I'm not that interested in sex anyway so I'm more than ok with it. Lol.

I've never had a problem with it. He gave it up on his own though when we moved in together. Or at least he said he did. I have no idea if he occasionally looks at it still, but he knows I don't care regardless.
@SugarplumsMom: he doesn't have a smart phone? lol

Not OK for us. It just not something I want in my life. I'm just not comfortable with it.

We don't feel like it's something that should be part of marital life. We have a healthy sex life instead.

I don't know because I don't have to deal with that? When we dated he had a Playboy subscription and that didn't bother me but he cancelled it when we moved in together. I think movies and more graphic/explict stuff would bother me as that's not stuff I want in my house/around my child. He's not into it though so hopefully it will never be an issue.

I don't like it - makes my skin crawl, actually. But I have a "so long as I don't see it" philosophy.

if he's looking at it, it's not effecting our relationship, his ability to work or our finances, and i don't have to know about it, i'm okay with that. but i don't wanna know, and if it ever became a habit that effected us or his life in a negative way, i'd be pissed. i don't want videos or mags in the house, but if he were looking at it on his phone in the bathroom at 2am when i'm not gonna wake up for him, i am fine with that.

Generally I don't mind it (we've even watched together) but it's complicated.

Both of us are not ok with pornography in any form in our marriage. We would consider it on the same level as infidelity!

It doesn't bother me at all; I don't have any issue with pornography.

My husband doesn't watch it - I should say, that I know of. After all, I would hate to be one of those naive women who swears up and down he doesn't only to find out - surprise! - he does. That said, I really don't think he does.
If he did, I'm not sure how I would feel. I guess, number one, I would be worried about it affecting our relationship. Number two, I feel that most (not all, but most) porn is exploitative and I can't help but wonder about the circumstances of porn "actors" lives that led them to pursue such a profession. And I also think that watching porn can lead men to have a narrow view of women's sexuality. I think the "pornification" of society is indeed worrying. But, that is a whole other (very broad) topic. I guess in short, my answer is that it would make me uncomfortable.

@Mae: He doesn't (and he actually works for a cell phone company)! Even if he did, I suppose he can check in between throwing out the trash and going out to the compost. Lol.

For us it would be an issue because of who we are & our belief.
