You are right, but we also have to accomodate reality. If 48% of Americans think this sort of fantasy is wrong, but 87% do it (98% of men, 80% of women) then we have a lot of unhappy, guilty and hurt people over something that is overwhelmingly common. So we might want to dial back the outrage and be a little more understanding. Not saying it is good, but it is what people are.

And that's why I wonder if it isn't about setting up realistic and respectful limits, so that your partner isn't hurt, but you don't have to lie or feel guilty.

LOL. I ended up enjoying the movie. It was at Studio Movie Grill so being able to have something eat and drink beer is pretty good. The movie was pretty funny.

It's a load question, like asking how many previous partners you had. It's likely they know the "right" answer. So I don't believe they are able to freely answer under pressure, knowing full well your views on the matter.
Not to start an argument, but consider when he told me what? That he doesn't look at it on his phone or the computer? That he doesn't watch it on the TV? That he got disgusted when his so-called friend sent him a half naked pic? As to the computer/phone/TV...he doesn't. He doesn't delete history on his browser on either of them. He goes to bed before me and up after me. This is due to medications his doctor has put him on. So, I know what is on the TV all day. And magazines? He never goes shopping. I do all the shopping. Kids are usually left home with him. And, no mail subscriptions to it lol. So, tell me again? When is he looking? In his sleep? Meh, that doesn't bother me. Fantasies/dreams are not able to be controlled. I wouldn't even try. Any more than he would try to stop me from fantasizing about anyone else, if I was so inclined.

Now, if you mean about the friend sending him the pic... the same friend sent the pic to me. To show me what he sent to him. The GUY told me, not my husband, about his reaction. And the guy told me that my husband was PISSED. It was tasteful (the pic). I've seen worse in magazines lol. AFTER being told by this guy, my husband told me about the exchange. And it matched what this guy said EXACTLY. So, no, he wasn't operating under duress.

Now, before you think I am some self-righteous woman... we DO watch some things on the "fringe" so to speak. But we watch them together. Movies/TV shows that have a real plot. Also, I'm not naive enough to believe he finds NO other woman attractive. Just as he knows I find other men attractive.

My husband isn't saying things under duress. If anything I am more open to things than HE is. Perhaps that is because I am the only woman he has been with. (Incidentally, he knows my number... my REAL number, which is 2 before him, and he knows the circumstances behind the breakups). The thing is, I was never wild either. He was the one who brought up the subject of porn in our discussions. He had viewed his dad's and was disgusted with it. And, never touched any since.

Like I said, we know what works for us. That's all that matters.

As a woman, I will try to address this from my own POV. I can only guess that on the whole, women aren't interested in seeing naked men the same way men are interested in seeing naked women...I know it really doesn't do much for me! I will never see 'Magic Mike'. I will never read 50 Shades of Grey. Those types of outlets do nothing for me sexually. Nothing.

The only things (other than a real live man) that really have gotten me turned on? Erotic lit (REAL erotic lit, NOT 50), and real porn, not this 'Twilight' crap. Go figure!

When I'm alone and want to get off? I get off. Don't need any visual stimuli. I'm lucky that way.

Because it's not about seeing male strippers. It's about seeing Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, et al stripping. Women love celebrities. I wouldn't walk across the street to see some random dudes I don't know take their clothes off. But Matthew McConaughey? Yes please!

Is it true that there are boobs and no peen in this movie? That makes me so sad. I'd love to see a few A-list actors objectify themselves for "the craft."

I have a major girl-crush on Jenna Marbles for successfully, offensively, and hilariously objectifying men. My husband seemed a little uneasy when I made him watch her music video.

That is true. All the male actors wear thongs.

I can't STAND celebrities. I must be in the minority. I'd much prefer to have my very own real live husband naked in front of me.
