Is It Healthy To Watch Porn With Your Partner?
That’s the magic of watching porn together with my partner. When I first got into this relationship a long time ago, I would have never dreamed of sharing my porn collection. That was private. I saved what I saved, and there was no one to answer to – no one to have to explain my choices to.
And I’m really glad we did. Not only did I get to discover all of those “dark secrets“ in his porn closet, but he got to discover mine. There’s, honestly, something really connective in being so vulnerable with your partner and meeting acceptance when you’re open about who you are.
Watching porn with my partner wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, though. In fact, we hit a few snags; most of the videos he was bringing to the table featured slender women – and that was an unexpected blow to my self-esteem. I let it eat at me, and I waved off his invitations to joint porn-viewing for awhile. It wasn’t until we sat down and I explained my feelings that I got an unexpected explanation: while he very much prefers my thicker body type, almost all of the niche porn he’s into is primarily populated by slender-bodied individuals. It can be difficult to find a “niche” body type (“”, in porn world terms) partnered with a “niche” kink – as hard as he tries to find them.
