Good laugh. Perv.
Precisely.
My porn doesn’t bother my husband, his porn doesn’t bother me.
It doesn’t bother me until he fills up the entire harddrive. Honestly, I don’t understand how you could even enjoy that much video. There was enough there to watch 2 per day for a year without repeats. I’ll get him his own external drive for Christmas.
how the hell did this thread get this far without this link???

as for hiding porn, you really have to know something about a computer to pull it off at all and that only works if your SO knows less than you do about them.
I found some porn on my husband computer long before he became my husband. It was gross. Not attractive. Icky. That pissed me off. Why would he look at such seriously ugly disgusting women? Just because they had big boobs? Yuck. I was upset. His solution? He has set his computer to erase internet history immediately and to never autofill any website. If he has a hidden cache of porn, he has hidden it well and I don’t look for it. For all I know he looks at goat porn, but I will never know. Problem solved.
I’ve always wondered what the reactions would be of these women insecure about their husband’s pron habits if the husbands had less-conventional tastes in pron.
For example, many people kind of assume if a guy gets busted, the pictures are going to be very stereotypical “woman with way too much makeup, long fingernails, breast implants, shaved pubes, etc”
What about the guys who look at pictures of obese women? Hairy women? Women with naturally large breasts? I’m curious if there would be as much rancor over women with ‘typical’ looking bodies (fuzzy legs, poochy bellies, stretch marks, C-section scars 
you get the idea)
My SiL seems to think her husband didn’t grow a dick until their wedding night… so when a friend of theirs and me found a porn DVD while helping them move, we merely stashed it in a place where she wouldn’t be likely to find it and notified him.
My other brother, I had to explain to him a few things about safe surfing until he finally stopped getting viruses from porn sites. Mom still thinks it was from sports sites. Uh, yeah, Mom, team sports all right, u-hu… they just don’t normally involve 25 guys and no girls. At least in my brother’s version, I don’t have much of an idea what’s out there.
Being the most computer-savvy of the “non-office workers” in several of my old jobs, I’ve given quite a few midnight or break-of-dawn lessons on “how to clean up the internet history”, accompanied by the lecture on “why you shouldn’t do this at work.”
I think the OP did fine, don’t overthink things too much.
IMHO, porn isn’t something that should be kept secret. Not saying that you need to flaunt it, be discreet. If it’s something you need to password protect to keep from anyone besides kids, you need to have a talk.
re: the OP question, I’d say you answered appropriately.
I don’t have a problem with my SO watching porn at all. In fact, we’ve watched it together. The one thing that does annoy me, well, not really annoy so much as elicit a :rolleyes:, is that he tries to hide the fact that he’s been watching porn or jerking off when I’ve told him I don’t care as long as the moaning doesn’t interupt my studying.
I walked out of the bedroom after taking a nap once, to have a perfect view down the hallway of the TV and some busty girl going to town on some guy’s wee wee, and he jumped up, turned it off, and rushed to distract me with small talk like I cared.
He says it’s more exciting if you have that fear of getting caught. I wonder why, when “getting caught” is more likely to get a “Hey, that position looks like fun, wanna try it?” response than a gigantic freak-out.
The OP seems like a reasonable response, I wouldn’t worry if you hurt of offended the guy.
At least you haven’t discovered your partner **IN **internet porn. :eek:
My husband isn’t computer literate AT ALL. So none on my computer unless I looked at it myself. [There’s probably something interesing in the cache from when he and I looked up Real Dolls ™ :eek:]
I know he has porn. It’s stashed in the bedroom. As long as he’s discreet about it, I don’t care. He even bought me some Playgirl magazines (yech) when we were at an adult “superstore” we found once.
Now this one guy I know–he had a PROBLEM. Porn is a problem when you’d rather sit and watch porn on your computer than have sex with your horny, not-married-very-long and fairly attractive wife.
Like others have said, it depends quite a bit on what kind it is. Violent or abusive, yeah then we have a problem.
Funny how most wives wouldn’t raise an eyebrow on discovering their husbands splatter-horror movie collection. Probably wouldn’t even be hidden.
I suspect that the problem is that the wives think that their husband is comparing them with the 18-year-old porn stars, and he is finding them wanting in comparison. Some men might equally have a problem if their wife regularly got her sexual thrills from pictures of unnaturally handsome young men. Horror movies don’t invite the same sort of invidious comparison.
Oh My Gosh- that would be the worse case scenerio I could think of!
I’ll never forget in college we found a stash of not porn but very stiff tube socks under my next door neighbor’s bunk - eewww! I still call him “Socks” almost 15 years later!
My wife knows I look, but I have my own computer that no one is allowed to look at, much less use, so it’s not a big deal in my marriage. If I found a big old stash on hers it wouldn’t bother me at all.
We know each other looks at porn and we share. We have a file called “videos” and it’s subdivided from there into what kind. It’s not that big a deal for us. Some of the more specific fetish stuff we’ve had to ease into because really, you have to start with a feather before you can move into the live chickens. Just kidding. Unless you’re gonna do it.
Anyway, to the OP, I don’t think you put your foot in your mouth. Hell, if he’s worried or pouting about it then he probably only half heard you anyway.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. . .
Don’t care. I know he looks at porn, I can sometimes see him doing it while we’re each surfing on our own computer, and I’m fine with it. I know his tastes, as well (conventional and otherwise).
Gross
