This is a first-person segment from a YouTube video in which the speaker describes how watching pornography during intimacy harmed his partner emotionally. He recounts alternating sexual encounters “with” and “without” a movie, only later realizing his partner felt she was competing with younger women. After quitting pornography he knelt, begged her forgiveness, and she cried—framing the narrative around harm, accountability, and relational redemption.

Chapters

One time we'd make love, it would be with, with the movie and the next time it would be without the movie. And, you know, kind of the compromise we came to. And I didn't realize how damaging that was to her soul watching that pornography with me, you know, because she's, she's not a 20 something girl anymore. And, you know, and I didn't realize that she felt like she was competing with those girls. I was kind of oblivious to the fact. And so once I quit porn and started realizing that, I actually got down on my knees one day and with her sitting on the couch and begged her forgiveness for doing that to her, and she burst into tears about that.
