    If the relationship is as you say, then I think giving up porn would not be a problem. And yes, I would. The use of porn to fill a void in a relationship, be it an act that one partner will not do or a hidden / secret fantasies, can reduce stress in a relationship. As you describe it, the relationship is ‘great’, so both partners must feel completely content and satisfied.

    I think it is very much a societal matter partially driven my the media. For starters, what you are describing was once called ‘chivalry’. It was (is) the proper conduct a man displayed toward women. With equal rights, and I’m not saying this is bad, men questioned women’s desire for this treatment. Sort of, ‘If we’re equal, do I need to hold the door for them? Does it mean that I’m a chauvanist if I hold the door, stand when a woman enters, etc.?’ We became very confused. Second, and just as important, boys learn their conduct from their male role models. Who are these? In divorced, single parent homes, boys are not likely to see a model of male conduct as you have described. As you call it, it’s ‘old fashioned’. How many young men’s role models are ‘celebrities’ from Holly-weird? Guys whose movies or music degrade women? Seen music videos lately? You know what I mean. For what it’s worth, there are still decent, respecting, ‘old fashioned’ guys out there. They’ve been taught to respect people, not just women. The old ‘do unto others..’ type of upbringing. It goes back to parenting. Good character, in my opinion, starts with the parents. Boundaries, discipline, lessons in right and wrong. Respect and compassion are learned at home and carried into society.
