I had a boyfriend that liked to watch porn. It used to make me very upset until I sat down with him and said ok explain it to me. I ask you not to, I tell you about my past and still you do it. Whats up? then he told me about "blue balls" for those who don't know that is a physical condition in men if they are not stimulating and releasing everything gets literally blue in color and in a sense "stopped up". to prevent this "playing" helps. because I am an abuse survivor I can't always play on cue where as porn can. Its not the womens body per se. for him it was the emotional elements of sounds and facial expressions that do it. He knew he had me physically and sometimes mentally but there were things that he could fantasize with during porn that he couldn't with me just because I am sexual abuse survivor. I didn't ask him to hide but I did ask that he use the bedroom tv that was equiped with headphones so I could go about my stuff in the rest of the house without having to pass the tv and hear it going on.
