Porn: off-limits when I have a gf?

From Tom.

Angie, my name is Tom, I'm 20 years old and I have been with my girlfriend Kaitlyn for almost a year now. We have been doing really good, but there was a problem lately. She was on my laptop and discovered a lot of porn in my browser history. She completely flipped out and was even crying. I feel like such a scumbag. What should I do?

Tommy,

Ah yes, I also recall being very upset when I discovered my high-school boyfriend indulged in such things. Then again, I was 16 years old and didn't know SHIT.
Well shame on you! Not for the porn habit, but for letting your delusional girlfriend believe for so long that she's the only living being on the planet capable of arousing you! That's just silly.
I will assume that miss Kaitlyn is at least of legal age, and therefore a bit more mature than a jealous high school girl.
Listen, you are not a pervert, a monster, or a bad person. If you've been with the same girl for nearly a year and all you're doing is LOOKING at other women, she should consider herself lucky.
As long as these images and videos you're jerking off to are of intangible people you have no intention of communicating with, there is nothing for her to logically be upset about.
I mean, does SHE masturbate at all? You should ask, and encourage. If so, what does she use to get off, dreamy thoughts of you in her head? Please. Everybody is entitled to visual stimulation. It's on a completely different plane than love or warm fuzzy feelings.
Don't change your internet habits, or worse - start lying to her, just be confident and upfront about reality vs. fantasy. If she can't handle something so trivial now, she's headed for a life of disappointment.
By now, your lover should also be a friend. So be a friend, and introduce her to how the world actually works. Plenty of guys AND girls (including this blogger!) are capable of enjoying fine erotica and having loving relationships at the same time.
