Re: Need "personal" advice
The plumber came round to fix Dot Cotton's taps and all his clothes fell off and he mounted Dot on the worktop whilst shouting out rude stuff in German.

Re: Need "personal" advice
I have a bit of a problem!
As some of you are aware i work away from home and called the wife last night who was VERY upset. Turns out she had gone through the computer and discovered i have looked at some "naughty" sites.
I think most guys do / have, but havent a clue what to say to her. Its not easy being stuck here talking over the phone.
Help please

Re: Need "personal" advice
Hmm, I am going to have to play devil's advocate on this and just ask whether you have looked at this from your wife's perspective. It's not just that you are looking at 'naughty' sites but how these sites make your average wife/housewife/mother feel about themselves. The women on these sites aren't real - (between make-up, plastic surgery & airbrushing) and no-one feels sexy when they yelling at kids, trying to cook dinner, trying to get the vacuuming done, probably working outside the home too. I am not trying to lecture, honestly, just something worth thinking about. I really don't think threatening her with comments about "it's this or me having an affair" (as others have recommended) are going to help).

I'm in the moral minority too. Porn on the internet especially CAN come from dubious sources. The thought of my partner watching women possibly coerced or forced into making these films makes me shudder. I am well aware that many women participate willingly but often their reasons for doing so and lives are horrendous.
I am assuming that the op was watching something 'mild' otherwise he wouldn't post about it. However there is also some pretty sick stuff out there.
Perhaps his partner is concerned that he is contributing to (at the worst) the sex trafficking trade and / or will progress to much 'harder' porn.
If my husband said he would watch porn or otherwise have an affair I'm afraid he would be out on his ear, he is obviously not the man I thought him to be.
I don't care if anyone thinks I'm some sort of bra burning feminist or old fashioned. It's about respect for yourself and others.

If I were in thi situation and my husband responded to my concerns in that way then I think he would be looking for new accommodation.
I am wondering how the average man would feel if they discovered that their wife had been regularly surfing sites like bigknobs dot com or something? (that was made up, I hope it does not really exist). Perhaps it would not be a problem, I am not sure.

As can many things in life. We don't always know how our meat is slaughtered mate but it doesn't stop us eating it. We try to make sure things are covered, but it's a fact of life. However there are NO exceptions regarding child porn. Child porn is totally unforgiveable as no child could have agreed to it
And there are lots of women who participate willingly. Fast buck, easy work. No different to prostitution. Even though incomprehensible to some of us, to some others it's not a moral issue to them at all.
Yep agree. However I take the view if its adults participating and adults watchin, who am I to judge their personal choice
Then she needs to talk about it with him.
Affair is different to porn. With porn there is no real life attachment. It's another TV program
It's your choice and opinion and your right to feel however you wish mate however just because someone watches porn, doesn't mean they don't respect themselves or others
Even if anyone thinks their man don't watch porn, you can bet your bottom dollar he is thinking about some sexy TV star when on the job at some time or another That's as normal to a man as is a ham shank

So it's ok not to try and check where the stuff you are watching comes from?
You make the distinction about child porn. Well I assume you would say rape was also a line not be crossed and yet there is porn out there showing both adult and child rape.
I actually don't eat meat for the reason that I can't check where it has come from.

I agree, absolutely fine, it's their choice but how can you watch something not knowing if the participants are willing? It is fairly safe to say some famous porn stars are willing but what about stuff you find on the internet on a dodgy site, you have no way to find out. That is what disturbs me that a man has so little regard for the life of the person he is wanking over.

I agree - she is probably thinking the worst.

I agree, but for someone to advise the op to say that to his wife.

Funnily enough, I have no issues with people watching porn, I just wish the industry which makes it could be regulated. That's what I mean about respect, if people had more respect for each other they wouldn't participate in an activity which is known to exploit people (not just women).

If everyone attempted to avoid exploitation we wouldn't eat or wear anything. China hasn't exactly got a great track record mate
