On the off chance you are serious, you might get better results if you refrain from insulting the people you are asking for advice in your opening post, but hey, what the hell.


Seriously? You're offended by that? Do you spend any time with men?

Geez.


Do you like sex? What if you weren't having it?

Are you married? Are you a celibate Mormon male like so many others except when it's time to pop out a baby?


Didn't you say you were having sex a few times a month? Geez, for a lot of people that would be a substantial increase. Grow up and learn to control yourself, you're not an animal (I assume).

And why not devote your interim fantasies to considering new ways in which you might please your wife?

Baker wrote:Porn is a tragedy. The complete objectification of women as objects of sexual gratification is shameful. Sexual intimacy absent emotional intimacy is base and vapid. Women are to be admired as much (and hopefully more) for their worth as fellow and equal human beings as for their physical appearance. Shame on any father of daughters who darkens his mind with such filth!


Consider me shamed. </sarcasm>

I'm not saying it's her fault that her husband views porn because that's YOUR choice, but maybe if she understood that men need it more than twice a month she could help the situation out.

We've talked about it, oh, since we were married 9 years ago.

Is jacking off to porn worth losing your wife and wrecking your family?


Or how about giviing it up more than twice a month. Oh, I see, once the word "porn" is muttered, it must be the man's fault. Puh-lease.

If you want to stay married and your wife is not OK with your porn viewing then stop viewing.

If you want more sex with your wife, then tell her and ask for her support, (smile) perhaps see a marriage counselor.

I think it is healthy to be honest with your wife and yourself; and always take the high road.

Anything else? :-)

Geez.

I actually agree. Well... I would suggest telling her you need IT more often too.


I have. Nothing's changed. Moving on to next response.

It's irrelevant to the thread. Moving on.

And the reverse is true. If she wants to stay married she could a) give it up more, or b) not worry about it if he looks at porn.
