Be honest — you watch porn and your partner watches porn. If you’ve never considered watching porn together before, it may sound scary or intimidating, but it can strengthen your relationship.
This may challenge what you’ve heard about porn before. Maybe you’ve read that it’s bad for relationships and sets unrealistic expectations, but when you actually understand the benefits of watching porn together, it can change your sex life for the better.
Here are some of the ways watching porn together can strengthen your relationship.
It can help you communicate your desires
You and your partner can take turns showing each other porn that explores your deepest desires. Showing your partner what you want to try can be more comfortable than just saying it out loud. Plus, for visual learners, it’s a great way to figure out how to turn what you’re watching into reality.
Let watching porn together open up an honest dialogue about everything from threesomes to BDSM to roleplay. You name it!
It can give you new ideas
Ever gotten outfit ideas from Pinterest? Watching porn is the same thing, but for sex. Everyone's sex lives can become lackluster at some point and porn is a great way to get new ideas you wouldn’t have come up with together before.
It can lead to healthy conversations
Porn isn’t designed to be realistic. Sometimes porn is simply entertainment and sex work is just that — work. If that’s not your line of work, you can’t hold yourself to the same expectations as what you see on screen, and neither can your partner. Watching porn together can lead to these kinds of conversations about expectations for sex in your relationship.
It can help you set boundaries
Of course, watching porn can help you open up about what you want to try in the bedroom, but you may not have considered the ways it can help you establish boundaries, too. If there’s porn that makes you uncomfortable, establish those boundaries with your partner. It will make them more aware of what you don’t like during sex.
It can get you in the mood
Watching porn together that you both enjoy can help you get in the mood, making it a great way to get over a sex drought. Watching what turns you on with the person who turns you on is super arousing. While watching, you and your partner can mutually masturbate or simply get turned on together and see where that leads. We bet foreplay is inevitable.
It can bring you closer
When you watch porn together, you know your partner isn’t hiding anything from you. In fact, they’ll probably share fantasies with you that they may have never told you about otherwise. Doing this together can help you bond and understand that you each can be attracted to or turned on by what other people are doing, but still only want to explore these fantasies with each other.
