So here are some of the responses that we got. I don't care, but I don't want to know about it. And if it starts becoming a problem or interfering with our sex life, then it's a no for me. I love when we watch together watching it. I'm fine with the amount he watches. I'm not okay with. I think there's a big difference in those. I'm not okay with him watching, but I watch. I watch it because it turns me on. But I feel like if he were watching, he would be comparing me to the girls and it makes me jealous for him to look at them. Interesting. And finally, I had a breakthrough with my therapist about this. Sometimes men don't want to perform because, let's be honest, sex is definitely exactly that. So sometimes it's nice to relieve themselves on their own versus doing the dance with a partner. It helped me realize that it's okay because I feel this way too sometimes when asked to do certain things. And I really just want to be a pillow princess. So, lots of different opinions, but definitely we recommend using this poll, using this episode as a way to open up a conversation with your partner. Sam.
