Why You Should Watch Porn Alone and With a Partner

There is no right way to watch porn. You can put it on in the background or project it onto a big screen, you can turn the volume up or leave it on silent. You can watch it whatever way works for you but we have a few good reasons we think you should try watching porn alone and watching porn with a partner. Check them out below!

Benefits of Watching Porn Alone:

#1. Get to Know Your Preferences

Watching porn is a great way to figure out what you like to watch. It can be a great way to explore new fetishes, or scenarios that you might not have considered otherwise. Of course you can do this with a partner, but you have more freedom to explore if you browse on your own. Skip to the next video whenever you want, linger for a while on a video that perks up your imagination, or masturbate to something you never thought would turn you on. Just because you like it in porn, doesn’t mean you want to try it in real life, so just browse until your heart’s content. It is always interesting to see what gets you going – it might be something totally unexpected.

#2. Get to Know Your Body

You don’t have to masturbate while watching porn, but it is a popular thing to do! Spending time masturbating is essential to figure out what you physically like. Do you like rough actions? Something soft? Do you like lots of lubricant or does heavy friction work best? Grab a toy (or two), change positions, use one hand or two – find what works for you. Porn is a great way to get ideas about different ways to masturbate, as well as stimulate your sex drive. Watching porn on your own can help you discover what your body like (and vice-versa what you absolutely do not like).

#3. Let Your Mind Get Creative

There should never be judgment about the type of porn you watch, but sometimes you can feel pressure to like certain things (or dislike certain things) while watching it with someone. Let your mind get creative about what you might enjoy and then follow through on watching videos about it. Watching porn solo allows your imagination and fetishes to go running wild. Just let it happen and enjoy your discoveries!

Benefits of Watching Porn with a Partner:

 #1. Get to Know Each Other’s Preferences

Once you’ve figured out a bit about what you like to watch, it can be a lot of fun learning about what your partner enjoys watching, as well as sharing your favourite porn videos. When watching, you should both keep in mind that porn is not reality – so what you like to watch does not always mean that you would like to re-enact. Once you’ve set the ground rules, spend some time going through videos together to get a glimpse into the other person’s fantasies.

#2. Enhance Communications About Sex

Deciding to watch porn together can be a great exercise in communication about sexual desires. You need to communicate beforehand to ensure both people are comfortable, and you need to trust each other with the personal information. It can be a vulnerable moment that will bring you closer together. After you watch it together, you should talk about the experience! Maybe you’ll want to try out something you saw!

#3. Spice It Up

Watching porn together can be really, really hot. It can individually turn you on, but the sounds of other people’s moaning can also make your own session feel a little but spicier than usual. You don’t have to even watch the porn for this to happen – just put it on in the background. You can get some ideas from the videos but that is not necessary. Just go with the flow, and if you want to get it on, then get it on.
