You are so awesome for articulating this. I really appreciate the time you took to write this and I feel happy to read someone else’s writing that mirrors my own thoughts and feelings about porn watching it in committed relationships. It is nice to read this from a woman especially because I have an issue with my boyfriend that I am trying to work through. Only my sister and one of my best guy friends know about the situation with my boyfriend. I can’t say they’ve been much help except to say they think that porn is detrimental to a relationship and there is no way to fix things with my guy. Or more accurately that the only way to fix things is to talk to my guy to tell him to stop looking at it. While I am at it I might as well tell my City Counsel (or whoever) to start nighttime construction an hour later so as not to interfere with my commute home…RRRriight. Would be nice but it ain’t going to happen magically just because I ask it to be. I’m working on a solution of my own…in the mean time will continue on to Part 2 of this series. Thank you again!

Pornvicky, I understand your distress.
I had a similar experience recently with a boyfriend of 3 years, who told me that he didn’t see anything intrinsically wrong with porn, and that he was not against it, per se, although he is not a ‘user’. I told him flat out that if he was looking at it, I would consider that disgusting and could not be with him. Am I overreacting? I don’t think so. You do NOT have to put up with it. I sure as hell won’t.

However, although he doesn’t actually look at porn himself (I do trust him), I’ve had a really hard time reaching my boyfriend on the issue. Although he readily concedes individual points (abuse is bad, rape is bad, mistreatment of women in the porn industry is bad), he still fights me on the ideology. He is an intelligent and kind person, so I will ask him to read your four excellent posts, Nine Deuce, and actually *think* about it a bit more.

Agreed. I hope I would have broken that tape, too. Broken it like a Jew would smash a tape about the holocaust- smashed it like an African-American would have a tape about lynching…

Buffy the Vampire LAYER?!??! What the fuck did you do you Buffy you misogynistic cocks?!?!?! She’s one of my idols; she kicks ass and she still loves and feels and can admit when she made a mistake but is still strong and awesome and gets pissed off at sexbots. Buffy and Willow need to kick some dick off.

Oh and 9D you are fabulous. Have a vegan cupcake :).

Destroying the tape was fucking awesome. Don’t apologize.

What I would do is make it clear that you won't tolerate it, and be ready to make good on it. You don't have to put up with it. You might want to look at this and this, and make your boyfriend read some anti-porn stuff (I don't want to be a narcissist, but I suppose I could recommend this, this, and this).
