When we watch together we mostly watch his porn, which just happens to be very similar to the kinds of porn that I'm into.

Yes and no.

I usually watch the same movies we've watched together, but every now and then I want to watch a gay porn because there's more really good-looking gay actors than there are straight ones. Alan couldn't care less about a movie that features only sexy-looking guys in it, so it's all about me then.

Alan only watches porn alone when it features a particular porn star that he knows I don't like. She's gross and comes across as a serious bitch, so I really can't stand to watch her.

So it's not a matter of "toning it down" for either of us, it's about who's starring in them.

I never gave it much thought...ya know I think I probably watch more girl-on-girl by myself and more couple stuff with him. I don't know if that's toning it down so I voted Other

Since I do not enjoy watching porn or watch it often, that obviously counts as an "other." My partner does not watch porn either. When we've watched it together, it has not really mattered because it never got either of us aroused.

So to answer the question..sort of yes, sort of no. When you watch so little of it, it's bound to be the same when you watch it with a partner as when you watch it alone!

I tone down. What I watch alone is complete fantasy, allowing me to try on new roles and ideas and I tend to work through complicated parts of my life this way. What I watch privately indulges the dark parts of me that are not yet ready to show anyone else.

What I watch with a partner has always been in the name of fun, with the aim of 'trying it out'. I know that he does the same, as well. There is an agreed line that what we watch privately doesn't need to be questioned or requested by the other.

No, I tone it down. I'll work up to it though. But the toned down stuff is the stuff my bf loves so it works out.

If anything, we tone it up. We mostly like the same kind of porn, so neither of us has separate movies.

It is different types of porn. It's usually his type of porn. My porn is usually lezzie porn, but he really likes bdsm or group sex porn. Since I like his type of porn that's what we usually watch.

I like to call them "home movies", but they stay between me and my husband and a good friend. No one else sees them.

Ive watched porn of other guys but It just turns me off knowing its another guy. But when its taped of me and him

We don't tend to watch porn together. What each of us considers porn can differ so much that it has become a solo activity.

We watch a lot of vintage porn together, when we're in the mood, and we've been looking at some newer stuff online.

The stuff I like, occasionally when I am alone is really much more heavy and intense than the stuff he likes, Tristan Taramino kind of stuff, Kink.com etc. He doesn't like the really hard core stuff, so I save it for my Alone Time, or when he's in the bathroom, then I jump on him.

I also like REALLY old stuff. We have a 7 disk set of Porn Through the Ages, (or something like that) going back to when moving pictures first started (did you know that filming people having sex was one of the first things people did when the movie camera was invented?) through the Depression, the War, the 50s and 60s, through the John Holmes era etc. I think this is a lot of fun, and enjoy the historical aspects of it (weird how the women in the really old stuff just stare at the camera and smile, no pretense of coming or anything) he doesn't like anything with a plot, or blurry 60s stuff, although he likes Vintage from the 70s and 80s. That seems to be our favorite together, although we need to get some new stuff, because it's getting kind of stale.

I searched for weeks to find something with Seka in it, as he really likes her, and all I could find was this 7 disk set of Vintage stuff, so we've enjoyed different parts of it.

He doesn't have the patience for plots, so stuff like Pirates, which I'd love to see, is kind of out of the question. I don't have the time to watch a 2 hour porno by myself.

Generally speaking, with my ex girlfriend we watched whatever turned her on. With my current boyfriend, we watch what turns me on. I don't really care either way, although a lot of the times the kind of porn my partner watches isn't my kind of porn. And, I try to pick something that we'll both like if we watch together, rather than just gearing towards me. So if that wasn't confusing, sort of an "all of the above" answer.

I do this too, and because I like the same stuff as you. It honestly weirds out most guys that I have known to watch anything too hard, especially with a woman, and in most cases, I am way kinkier than them.

I don't watch the same stuff, though it wouldn't be strange if I did. We don't have divergently different tastes.

Sometimes, but my partner and I like different things. I would say that we watch the same thing together if we both liked it.

He like lesbian porn strictly, so that is what we watch all the time. I like to watch lesbian and straight, but I like fetish and BDSM, which he does not.

No he is a porn addict and refuses to watch it with me, and we rarely have sex.
