I’m a 33-year-old married guy who’s been with my wife for over a decade. Like many, I’ve watched porn regularly throughout our marriage. Recently, something clicked, and I went cold turkey—it’s been about 2 months now, my longest streak ever. Curious: how are other married men doing with this? No judgment at all—just want honest, unbiased experiences. All my married friends admit they still watch, so I figured it’s universal for guys. Prove me wrong?

Without judgement…you’re hanging with the wrong crowd.

No, he’s saying everyone here is judgmental.

Consider yourself the proof! It is definitely not universal, and honestly, it's appalling that people think it is. A man who saves all that passion for the bedroom? That is top-tier husband material. 🏆
​Keep going! Your marriage is going to be so much hotter for it. Meanwhile, I'll just be over here getting my 'naughty' fix from 50 Shades of Grey reruns... strictly for research purposes, of course! 😜

Agree with SM1 that your marriage will benefit from it (speaking as a man who gave it up). Don’t have experience with getting a “naughty fix” from 50 shades reruns but it sounds fun 😉

It felt wrong to continue watching it while I was falling for my wife. I know there’s a debate about whether it’s some form of “cheating” or not, but it just stopped being appealing to me. My wife and I have insane chemistry and while we’re only 1.5 years in, we’re still all over each other as much as we can. I have a higher drive than my wife, but like SM1 says above, “saving” it for the wife (both mentally by not watching and also by not rubbing one out) makes it all the more a better and more intense experience.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Question. Did you ever comment on said porn? I just found this on my husband's phone for the second time. Now it was on local hookup reddits. So while previously, as a married woman, I was fine with viewing, commenting and propositioning are beyond.
