Online Boundaries Within Relationships

I have spoken about it though, with women I’m friends with and there weren’t many that said they did. Just because you don’t understand what’s not to enjoy, it doesn’t mean everyone else thinks that way. I just don’t have any interest in it at all, I tried it when I was younger and single, but stopped when I got with my first boyfriend when I was 14 and I never went back to it.
Your missing out, is all I can say!!!!

I’m not missing out, because I don’t enjoy it.
It’s like saying I’m missing out on coffee because I don’t drink it, but I don’t like it, so how am I missing out? Life would be boring if we are all the same, but luckily we aren’t. We all have different needs, wants, desires, likes and dislikes. If you enjoy it then that’s perfectly cool, I think it’s perfectly normal to do it, but I also think it’s perfectly normal not to.

Our phones both lay around the house - nothing to hide. They both have passwords but for security reasons in case they get stolen as there is so much personal data on them such as banking, etc.

Neither of us are particularly active on social media. We follow each other on IG and Twitter but my husband never posts a thing. We are both on FB but not friends on it, don't see the point. His family follows me on IG. I wish I hadn't accepted his mum's request but only cause I don't really like her, lol.
 
I don’t think people are necessarily getting high horsey, or I’m certainly not anyway. I think my point about us having a good sex life and neither of us masturbating is more because we both feel our needs are met. For me, the only time I ever did it was when I was in my early teens, I was single and had no release. I stopped when I had my first boyfriend and never went back to it. Plus the fact we wouldn’t really have the time or feel the need as we are busy having sex with each other and outside of that we both work hard long days! I’m not being high horsey about our sex life, I actually think we are just “normal” for our ages. We are in our mid twenties and have been together six years, you would typically expect most couples in that scenario to have a fair bit of sex! 😂
One of your first posts literally says “we have great sex so maybe he doesn’t need to” which is a little high horsey, that’s just my opinion and possibly because I come from a relationship where wanking is totally normal part of our sex life I’ve interpreted it as more of a “good sex means you don’t need to tank”.

However you then say it again by saying you’re normal and have lots of sex mid 20s, there’s a lot of people who still have lots of sex and lots of wanking in their mid 20s, which is still totally normal.

At the end of the day I couldn’t give a monkeys who wanks, who doesn’t, who’s getting their rocks off from missionary or swinging from the rafters by their nipple clamps, it’s all what works for your relationship and if you’ve found someone who’s sex drive matches yours perfectly then I think that’s pretty awesome 👍🏼

When people say liking other peoples pictures - what do you mean? You can’t like any picture the opposite sex posts or just selfies or whatever?

Me and my husband are pretty open. I know he watches porn and masturbates. That’s fine by me, more peace and quiet for me 🤣

I like other men’s pictures on social media, only men I know. And it wouldn’t be a selfie, I wouldn’t like anyone’s selfie, I find selfie culture weird. But I’d like a picture of their dog or kid, or if it was a group pic of a few lads I went to school with I would like it. I don’t think that’s disrespectful and I wouldn’t be annoyed if my husband did the same.
Not liking other peoples pictures would usually be in context.

For example we both met at rehab and know alot of people of either sex from there, most can put up a simple selfie stating their recovery journey length or before/after shots of their addiction. I don't mind those.

Anything that has narcasstic undertones and made to grab sexual attraction (no matter how subtle - these can include sultry, filtered selfies or the classic wine glass dressed up in a doorway pose. I wouldn't like it if he was liking that sort of tit.

Group photos, photos of pets, children, cars, places (as long as it don't include her feet in sand and so on) etc. Don't care!

how did we get from liking photos to self? 😂 as i said, i really don't do it, tried it but didn't like it. when i had bad sex, i didn't want to do it. when i have great sex, i still don't want to do it. on the other hand, when i had amazing sexual life with my partners they still wanked, and when we had bad periods they still wanked! i also know guys who do and guys who don't. girls who do and girls who don't. that's perfectly normal and i don't think it has to do with sex life. i guess most people enjoy it, some people don't, and that's it. like pizza 🍕 (i love pizza tho)

to stay on topic, i only ever commented on looking at each others phone. when it comes to instagram, my bf doesn't have it. and i don't have facebook. so we can't ''see each others likes'' but we're both barely on these sites anyway! i know he watches porn tho and i don't mind as long as it's not a live cam or something like that. as long as whatever he's watching is ''depersonalized''

I think it’s very difficult to interpret how someone means anything when it is said online and not face to face. It certainly wasn’t what I meant. It was more of an assumption, I’m just assuming that’s one of the reasons why he doesn’t...and I literally said that we are normal for people in their 20’s as a point to say I wasn’t getting on my high horse about it as I don’t think we are different to anyone else... Obviously though you must know what I mean more than I do so I’ll just leave it there shall I... 🙄

Does it really matter if people tank or not... It’s as normal not to do it, as it is to do it. It’s all personal preference and I’m sure as adults no one would feel like they needed to lie about it 😂

THIS!
Not sure why it's so hard to understand that some people choose not to. I don't do it, but I don't have any issue accepting that other people do. It's personal preference. 🥴 I'm definitely not going to bother lying about it, not sure why anybody would. I just don't have that high of a sex drive - I feel like I'm getting enough from my partner so don't feel the need.

To keep the thread on track - if he was commenting on pics of women half naked in a flirty way I'd chop his rooster off.

I know a guy who regularly comments on Kylie Jenners photos things like “wow you’re so hot” “your a looks amazing 🍑” - he has a girlfriend as well! Obviously Kylie Jenner has better things to do than to notice his or the majority of the other comments on her post, but the fact everyone else can see it makes me cringe!

I said because of my own experiences it may be the way I interpreted it. Apologies that you seem to have taken this as a character assassination, it wasn’t.
 
My ex never let me have his phone - although I once got onto his FB and saw he had loads of conversations with female friends on his messenger. Nothing flirtatious, but he talked about his life/career etc with them... and never did that with me 😂 So that hurt. It wouldn’t bother me so much in a future relationship as I’m quite self-confident in myself now, but I would draw the line if it got explicit or if they would sign up to OnlyFans etc. But not the be all and end all 🤷🏼‍♀️
