Heres the thing gaf,
Just like most men, i like to jerk off. I watch porn at least twice a week whenever shes not around, i follow/like a few hot models (some of them do cool stuff that i actually like that are not strictly modeling) and i don't follow pornstarts.. only people like Ariana Celeste and etc. MODELS) and sometimes I like their pictures on instagram and stuff ( i dont post comments like "i want you" or anything like that) but i don't mess around with other girls in person. I don't flirt with other girls, i don't wish i had another girl and i completely respect my girlfriend even tho she says that i don't because of what im about to tell you.

Now let me get into all of that separately. My GF and i dont live together and we see each other about once or twice a week because we go to school (not to the same one) and we work. We don't always have sex because we gotta have time for fun and social life too, so we go out as many times as we can and chill and stuff and any other day we chill at my house and have sex. Im not complaining about the way we do things because its not our fault that we have such a tight schedule.

Every man here knows what we do whenever we feel "sexual". We hop into that Brazzers and spend at least an hour between browsing and jerking off. It's on our nature. unless you're into a Religion that doesn't let you do it, you jerk off too. I like it, it feels good, its natural, inoffensive, im not cheating on anyone because HELLO ITS A PART OF MYSELF! and its the easiest way to bring the "horny" level down. This is what i think, but my girlfriend thinks entirely different.

Shes all against porn. She says that if i watch it, im going to be cheating on her because im seeing another woman naked. Shes always saying "oh what a shame ure just like all the others" just because i take an hour of my day to masturbate. I mean, really? I have a very different definition of what cheating means but ok. I mean, maybe i do it because i want to release some stress and shes not with me atm? or maybe im just feeling anxiety? horny? whatever! I kno if she were with me at that moment we would have sex, but shes not and in that moment i feel like i want to. so... ?? whats the big problem?
I don't care if shes drooling for Channing Tatum or any other actor. Everybody always fantasizes with a celebrity and i don't fight her when she does. All im doing is watching a video of some girl that i will never meet, i will never have and im doing it privately! On my own time, on my own! How is that cheating!?

We all have our private things that we do and we don't share it with anybody else. We don't talk to other people about when we jerk off ( Yes i know im doing it now, just keep reading lol) or about any other private things we do. I think the main problem is that we follow each other on the social media, so she can see what i like and who i follow. I don't check what she likes or follows because i can care less. Again, i see it as a private thing. Shes likes a picture of some shirtless dude? good for her. I know hes not gonna call her up and ask her to marry him! So why should i be going crazy for that? But she doesn't see it that way. As soon as I like somebody's picture, shes on the phone telling me how horrible i am.

Just a couple of hours ago, a friend of mine had a slightly similar problem with his wife. The main issue was the his daughter found porn on my friends computer and his wife didn't like that at all. Obviously. She doesn't care that he watches porn, she just hates the fact that her daughter saw it. Anyways, i was talking to my girlfriend about how long time ago my friend's wife found him masturbating and she started to cry and called all of us because she was very concerned. My GF got kind of upset and said " i can't believe he still masturbates even after getting married" to which i commented, "whats the problem?" yeah.. me and my big mouth knowing how my girlfriend thinks about masturbation.

After that, the whole thing derailed. She called me and i think she broke up with me. Idk yet. It's my 24th Bday today btw and tomorrow its our 3 years and 1 month anniversary. She told me that i should think about the argument and masturbate to that ( damn) and i can't remember what else she said but basically im immature because i watch porn and all that. Gaf, what the hell? Am i really the problem here? Do i need help and then ask for her forgiveness?

Before you answer you should know that i don't always jerk off once or twice a week. I don't think about it at all during the day so im not sick in the head lol. It is strictly whenever i feel like i want to have sex but shes not around.

We know that we both masturbate and are cool with it.

Also three years and this insecurity nonsense is still there? She did you a favor by breaking up.

The answer is obvious. You must slowly corrupt her over time. Everyone masturbates.

Happy birthday by the way, and I hope your relationship works out great in the end.

How does she know when you jerk off then? Are you telling her, "Hey, I jerked today since you weren't around to have sex, sorry!"
 
Masturbation is totally natural and anyone who expects their partner to stop doing it is being unreasonable. Porn is also totally natural and looking at other people naked does not in way mean cheating.

I believe this is when you propose bringing a camera into the bedroom and making porn she will approve of.

If anything your amount of jerking off should go up as you can now imagine what a woman actually looks like naked in front of you. And you might not even need as much porn to get you off as your imagination is now superior to actually watching porn.
 
Girls don't understand.

You have to play it off like, "eh every once in a while I will, its not that big of a deal."

You kinda ruined it already by saying and trying to justify that you do it regularly.

She is being unreasonable but she's a woman and she doesn't understand. If need be, if you really love her and don't wanna make a big deal about it, tell her that you think she's right and that you won't do it nearly as much.

Then jack it twice as much.

Long time ago she asked me and we had a conversation that ended with her being mad at me. We never had that conversation again until i told her about my friend and his problem.
 
No unless it's negatively impacting your sex life which does happen to people.

Sounds to me though her reasons revolve around insecurity. You either need to tackle those insecurities or find a gf who's okay with you doing it. Sexual repression isn't healthy.

Yes generalize us all, thanks.

Tell her there are three options.

1) She can be on call for your sexual needs at any moment.
2) She can let you masturbate when you feel like it.
3) She can let you fuck other people.

It does not matter if you're married. Porn is fine. I don't care how good a relationship is, you need time for yourself to pull your pecker. Someone back me up on this.

Three years, one month and you still have these basic issues arising? I'd bail out, long term outlook isn't great.

She actually pulled the "If thats how you gonna be IF (she put emphasis on the if) we get married..." card

Thank You! Im gonna wait until things get calm again and speak to her. I am evaluating some of the fellow gaffers solutions lol
 
I don't agree with what she says about porn. The whole point is that it is fantasy. I think it adds spice to a relationship. Sexual urges and desires, as much as sex itself should absolutely be strictly between those in the relationship, are unhealthy to suppress. It can result in your actual sex life going downhill, as you may eventually feel limited. Of course I'm not referring only to porn, but for many, it is the most desirable alternative to actual sex. There is nothing to do with cheating in porn. Again, it is fantasy. The whole point is for it to be so fantastical that it could never happen in real life (even most "amateur" porn).

Masturbating is healthy (as long as you aren't, you know, a chronic masturbator), and while it can be accompanied by sexual thoughts, possibly of other women, that is simply human nature.
 
Not all porn viewing is "fantasy" either. I'm in the camp that just gets off to people fucking, I don't imagine myself in the scenario with the dude personally.

You can't contain the forces of nature.

Tell her that she can help you get off more then ;).

Just kidding, you said what you said about your schedules. She should, and she has to lighten up if she wants to have pleasing sexual relationships: it's impossible to think that someone will only ever find one single person sexually attractive and never jerk off, but it is definitely possible to stay commited to a relationship. Hell, she probably does it too, it's human nature... She sounds a bit too conservative, if you don't mind me asking, is she religious or is from a repressive family? That may be the source of the issue.

And of course, never go all bananas on the porn, dude. Never overdo it, balance.
 
She actually pulled the "If thats how you gonna be IF (she put emphasis on the if) we get married..." card

I would seriously consider bailing if this issue is still an issue this deep in the relationship. At three years together I would honestly hope a relationship was much further than surface level shit.
 
Had a girlfriend who got mad that I watched porn when she was away because she considered it "emotional cheating". She ended up cheating on me.

Had another girlfriend who would watch porn with me to get us in the mood. She ended up cheating on me.

Porn doesn't add or take anything away from a relationship, so unless she has a better reason for you not watching porn that "it's cheating to see another chick naked" she's being unreasonable.

Oddly enough most women I know had enjoyed porn and had no problem with it. Hell if they were with someone they watched it together because it's perfectly natural and human.

Plus it gets them horny and gets them going like rabbits.
 
I think broadcasting the fact that you like other women's (presumably) half naked pictures etc. is the big problem here. Sure, look at them and enjoy, but why the need to press like and confront her with the fact that you like seeing some woman half naked and masturbate to her? Seems weird to me. It's normal to look and enjoy other people, but if your likes are being broadcast for her to see and she feels hurt, why do it?

Edit: Her comment on the guy still masturbating after marriage is hilarious in a bad way though. I doubt anyone is having so much sex they never masturbate, let alone people who are married lol.
