person12345 agony auntYou should be able to simply talk to him about it. Don't get angry though, whatever you do, because then he may feel tempted to start lying about it. It's not abnormal to feel threatened or cheated on by your boyfriend watching porn. I'd say many women feel this way. Though you have to be prepared that many or most men won't be willing to stop. Some will though, and he probably doesn't even know it bothers you. If it's purely a body image problem though, I promise you the guys really aren't attracted to the women. Mostly they are attracted to the act. They probably couldn't tell you what she looked like after they finished watching. I'm sure he'd take you over his hand and porn any day. I'm sure he finds your body more attractive than a porn star.

trust me watching porn is a way of regulatiing your sex drive. Ya, you can say 'golly, why cant he just tell me when he has urges'

well, the answer is simple, he would want sex 5 times a day; and you would give it to him since u dont like the alternative of porn.

Hence within a week, he will get bored of doing the same every day and it'll get WORSE believe me.

I wouldnt mind if my gf was masturbating or watching porn. I am 6'2" and fairly attractive (i play football for university of Kansas RB) so i doubt if the guys in porn are gonna look like me lolol. But even if I wasnt in shape, i would let her do stuff on the computer as long as there wasnt another man involved. So as long as ur bf doesnt get involved with another woman, you should'nt worry. Just think of how you would feel if he was cheating and porn wouldnt sound as bad. Hope I helped. (AND BE PROUD OF YOUR BODY, GIRL)

Keira9312 agony auntIf you really trust and love him, tell him how you feel. If he was really a good boyfriend, he would stop for your sake, and apologize. He should love you for who you are, and not how "good" or "bad" your body is. It may also just be a boy thing. I've met plenty of boys who just haven't quite matured yet.
