I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP. HERE IS MY STORY... I HAVE BEEN WITH MY BOYFRIEND FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. IN THE BEGINNING OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS A BLAST HE ALWAYS GAVE SO MUCH OF HIMSELF AND ALWAYS PUT MY NEEDS FIRST. WHEN IT CAME TO THE SEXUAL SIDE OF THINGS, WELL BECAUSE OF THEY WAY I WAS RAISED AND ALSO MY PERSONAL BELIEVES WE NEVER WENT FURTHER THAN PLEASING EACH OTHER MANUALY, BUT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT INTERCOURSE DID HAPPEN A FEW TIMES.
WE MOVED AWAY FROM HOME ABOUT A YEAR AGO TO BASICALLY START OVER IN OUR JOBS EXCTR...

EVER SINCE THEN THINGS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY.WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS HERE AND MY BOYFRIEND IS EXPERIENCING MAJOR WORK STRESS. AS A RESULT OUR "PHYSICAL" RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN NON EXCISTING, FROM HIS SIDE THAT IS.
I AM NOW AT A POINT IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THING FURTHER AS I LOVE HIM AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FILLING SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP.
I KNOWS THAT BUT STILL SHOWS VERY LITTLE INTRESS IN ME. OF COURSE THIS HURTS MY FEELINGS SO MUCH AS I THOUGHT THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED.
I RECENTLY DESCOVERD THROUGH SELF CONFESSION FROM HIS SIDE AFTER CONFRONTATION FROM ME. THAT HE REGULARY WATCH PORN AND MASTURBATE.
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE MY FEELING OF DISCUSS AND HURT!
AND ALL ALONG I BLAMED IT ON HIS WORK STRESS OR ON MYSELF. I FEEL CHEATED AND BETRAYED AND FEEL LIKE I WILL NEVER TRUST HIM AGAIN.
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIS REACTION. IS THIS NORMAL? AM I OVER REACTING? PLEASE ADVISE AND NO THERE IS NO ONE ELSE OF THAT I AM SURE.

Hi Tom I think your point is really valid - my partner does have sex with me although not frequently. I feel he does so because he feels he should not because he wants to. I feel sad and unwanted and yes the sex itself almost feels like a rejection in itself.

This is a very interesting anti porn site. These are some commonly asked questions and the sex therapist's replies.

When they get very angry like this, it's because they are in denial of their addiction. You can't make an addict change, you can just decide that you won't live with being second best to these vile images of degradation. If a man can masturbate as often as some of you say he is, he can have sex with you. He just chooses not to as he is addicted to pornography. He will probably keep doing it until someone breaks up with him over it or until he realizes that he prefers it to real sex with a real human being and sees that this is a negative thing. Read this book;Robert Jensen, Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity. Or check out this site;http://www.oneangrygirl.net/antipornbooks.html
Porn is insidious and is destroying our relationships mostly because fo the internet and how there is no end to the images available. Men get angry and defensive as any addict would; an alcoholic is the same.
Women need to start saying that porn is NOT ok. How would your man fee if you refused sex with him and then he caught you with your vibrator evry day. Hurt, right?
But he may choose porn over you. If he does, it's time to move on. Why would you want to be in a relatinship where you don't get your needs met and have to deal with negative addiction? Surely you are worth more? There are lots of men out there who actually lOVE to have sex with a real woman!

I too, am having the same problem. Only mines, a little more complicated.. im 22, so is my boyfriend. We both work at a local restraunt, same shift, same days off, and we live together. we are best friends, but spend way too much time together. we have lived together since october, started dating in july but were friends who occasionally messed around or spent time together for 2 years before we became exclusive. i am completely in love with him, i am extremely attracted to him, and almost satisfied. the past 2 or 3 months we've been having sex less and less; he watches more and more porn, and spends alot more time in the shower. since im still so attracted to him, i try to seduce him regularly, and when it doesnt work it upsets me, because it hardly works! i have tried quite a few times to talk about it with him, and he says not everyone wants to have sex everyday and i almost plead that i need to be pleased too. (sex is a very important part of a relationship to me, especially since i feel so strongly for him) He doesnt know, that i know, about the showers or the excessive porn. when i go to bed, or the rare occasion i work and hes off, or i go out with a friend or my mom, he watches porn- ive seen the internet history quite a few times. i know he likes porn, hes told me, and thats okay, and he knows i dont mind if he pleases himself *once in a while* but i want to still experience the intimacy of our new relationship. its not like we never have sex,but every four or five or six days just isnt enough for me. i am not sure how to act, he thinks im too horny, thats not true at all, im the same ive always been, its him thats not. i really hope that someone can get back to me soon. thanks in advance.

Thanks starr I have found that a lot of gals mention a man without porn = amazing. I have been honest and upfront but he just yells And storms off like a child or tells me it's completely normal and all guys do it. I think he needs to look at the bigger picture and effing try to make our sex life even just a dot of what it once was. I am sure I could find a guy who would be there with me wanting it all the time but he wouldn't stimulate me on the same mental and attraction level my guy does. Sigh.

WOMEN who defend porn!!!!??? Ha ha ha ha...I have to laugh!!!! And women who watch porn because they THINK they like it! Very funny!!!! Hello, brainwashed!
Porn is one of the most destructive things in modern day relationships. A lot of men who watch it start seeing ALL women as objects and stop wanting sex from their partners as they find the orgy-esque situations, violence, simulated child sex, etc. more of a turn on. It is soooo degrading to women. How can a true feminist say that porn is cool????
I NEVER pur up with porn in my relationships and manage to have incredible sex where the two of us are the fOCUS of each others fantasies and wouldn't have it any other way.
Men that love porn dislike women on some level as they can objectify them. Women who love porn are so brainwashed, it is sad.
