I Want To Know Its Okay To Masturbate At Porn

Before I answer this, I want to point out that there’s an age issue here. If you’re in the United States and under 18 then you legally shouldn’t be looking at porn.

Also if you’re looking at certain types of porn, like anything involving a person under 18, then that’s illegal in the US as well.

I’m going to move forward with the assumption that you’re legally old enough to look at porn, and you’re not looking at porn involving minors or anything else that might be considered illegal where you are.

With that said, this is a tough one to address, because it’s really not up to me to decide if it’s okay or not. It’s up to you.

If you’re okay with masturbating while viewing porn, then it’s not a problem.

If it bothers you then that’s an issue.

Some people feel guilty using porn to masturbate. If this is happening to you, you might want to think about where that guilt is coming from. Were you taught by your religion and/or culture that you weren’t supposed to use porn? If so, you need to decide if watching porn is worth the guilt. Or decide to move past what you were taught and accept that masturbating while watching porn is normal. That’s really up to you to navigate.

For some people in a relationship who masturbate to porn, they can feel guilt because it feels like they’re cheating on their partner. If this is the case, I would suggest having a conversation with your partner. It may be that they’re cool with it, and so that might help with the guilt.

Some partners may feel like you watching porn while you masturbate is your way of saying that they’re not pleasing you. If this is the case, you definitely need to have a conversation with them. If they’re not pleasing you sexually this can be a great time to address that.

If they are pleasing you, it might be a good time to explain why you’re using porn to masturbate. This might be harder to do than it sounds. Some people don’t really know why they watch porn while they masturbate. They’ve never really thought about the why, it’s just what they’ve always done.

Some do know why they view porn while they masturbate. For some people it helps them get in the mood. For some people it’s a way to live out a fantasy that their partner might not be interested in doing.

Regardless of your reason, if your partner is uncomfortable with you watching porn while you masturbate, you should talk to them about it.

But let’s get back to you. I don’t always give statistics when it comes to sexual behaviors, but I think in this instance they might help you. According to a study that came out this year, more than 85% of people surveyed said they used porn. And this was people across a wide age range.

The bottom line is that no matter what I say about how common it is, or tell you about the impact of using porn, it really is up to you to decide if you’re okay with using it while you masturbate.

Until next time, be safe and have fun!
