Answer 1

If he's so willing to jeopardize your marriage over something that most will inform you oh so nicely that it is "harmless" "just looking" and "entertainment" then indeed I do believe he could have an addiction. If he can see the damage it does, why wouldn't he just stop? For many many people, pornography is not harmless looking nor is it any form of healthy entertainment. You are not alone in having these feelings or thinking the way you do. Don't let him twist it into being about YOUR hangups either. Stick to your guns and stand up for what you think is right.  

Answer 2

he may be addicted. the lying is sometimes because guys want to feel in control. a lot og guys are lying jerks! maybe u should sit down with him and really express your feelings.

Answer 3

The answer to your question --> He lies to avoid confrontation, discussion and argument because he knows you are hurtful by it.

Could he be addicted --> Yes.  However, if you are not a "prude" attempt to join him in a little role play.

Answer 4

all men are addicted to p0-rn LOL--- but why dont you give him a reason NOT to look at anymore and pay more attention to you- get some hot lingerie and spice it up in the bedroom! Or take a look at what p**n he watches and see if you can make his fantasies come true.  

Answer 5

Is your husband a decent man otherwise? I'd give him a pass on the p**n thing. It's just how guys are, regardless of how attractive they find their S.O.

Answer 6

You may not be satisfying him, thats likely the reason hes into p**n. At least be thankful that he's not cheating.

Edit: This thread is completely filled with women giving the same advice.

My advice to you is: Read the 4th post from the top. Sean C is right. You have it true from a guys perspective. Enough said.

Answer 7

he could be an addict. i dont know why men do that when they have the real thing at home... boggles me too

Answer 8

Why don't make him addicted to you? Start doing more sexual things with him, maybe then he won't be compelled to explore this with p**n. Let go or your inhibitions and have fun. Trust me, he WONT look at you weird, he's your husband so you have nothing to be embarrassed about, and it'll turn him on really quick to see and have you do this.

Answer 9

We live in a society where people think women are weak because the get jealous.

If a married man goes to a stipper club then that is disrespectful to his wife!!

I don't care what anyone thinks!

Answer 10

men like watching p**n . that is one . if he said he will stop and he doesnt stop that is probably because he knows telling you he will stop will make you happy and not nag around or get mad at him . but he doesnt expect to be caught again . he didnt really mean it when he said he will stop . sometimes they lie to us so we will get off of their case .  

Answer 11

He lies because he knows p**n is both harmless and quite enjoyable. He also knows you cannot grasp this concept. So he continues this harmless activity that bothers you and then lies about it.

Answer 12

He is addicted,,and needs help,,,try and see someone together,,

Answer 13

he could be addicted to p**n

Answer 14

well your right ... so join him    and make it clear how you feel.. each time things happen in the show.. it will stop him. as it will take all the enjoyment he see .. good luck .
