How to Accept Your Boyfriend's Interest in Pornography  
HOW TO 

Tags: Boyfriend problems, dating problems, jealousy

Here is how to accept your boyfriend's interest in pornography.

1.	Realize that he isn't watching porn wishing you looked like those women...if he wasn't happy with you, he wouldn't be with you. Try to understand why he is really watching it and what he gets out of it.
2.	Try watching it with him...even if you hate it, he will love that you're willing to share it with him. It can be a great way to spend time together, and might even lead to some pretty hot sex. Who knows, you might end up liking it too! Watching it with him will feel like you approve of what he is doing, and men need and love approval.
3.	Ask him if he wants to try some of the different positions, role playing, etc. He might have a fantasy or something he's always wanted to try but is too shy to ask. Try to understand the parts of him that he hasn't disclosed to you.
4.	Even if none of the above tips appeal to you, stop nagging him about his "habit." Nagging will only lead to fighting, and fighting leads to breaking up. There is a healthy way to fight in a relationship, but beginning an argument with nagging isn't it. Professional counseling or marital counseling can lead to real changes.
5.	Try explaining to him how you feel about pornography and discuss each others values. Try to reach a compromise. Tell him that no woman can live up to the false realities in those movies. Try discussing how he views pornography in a relationship. If you're going to accept that he does it, you have to be comfortable with his reasons.
6.	Plan what you can do if you begin to feel uncomfortable and discuss when his guilty pleasure becomes an addiction or a serious problem for you.
7.	Go to couple's counseling. A counselor can help you see one another's point of view and better understand each other's needs.
