Is it normal for bf to "just" scan craigslist sex ads

I went on my boyfriend's computer, and viewed the history of sites he has been on lately. He seemed to have been looking at all these craigslist sex ads! I was upset. I asked him what is going on, and he said he "just" looks at them... "everyone looks at them" he said. But he also said he does not do anything other than look.

My question is this... Do guys really JUST look at the ads? Is it normal? Or do guys typically look to do more than look?????

    I'm infringing? Lol! Whatever! I've been with him for 14 years and we share all our bills including a mortgage, and you think I'm infringing on his privacy? So it's okay for him to cheat and get an STD from some cheap craigslist chick, but he has a right to computer privacy? WTF?!?!

    Bottom line is... I'm done with him and I'm keeping the ring.

  • Get rid of that dirtbag before he cheats on you.

    I'm a girl, but regularly read them because I think they're funny/creepy/sad/interesting... like a really fat person on a little bike. Just can't NOT keep looking.

    It's normal, but I'll tell you this... If you were keeping him happy sexually, he wouldn't be looking at the ads on CL or anywhere else for that matter.<BR><BR>You and he aren't fucking enough or something. You better talk to him and start putting out more, or he's going to move on without you.<BR><BR>Do not confuse this with Porn. I look at porn all the time. I love the female body in all it's various forms. Yeah, I even masturbate - a lot sometimes.<BR><BR>My wife and I don't have sex enough. We used to have a lot more problems, but we've worked most of them out. We still don't have sex enough. (Thus the porn and masturbation.)<BR><BR>A few years ago I was seriously contemplating divorce, and I myself was looking to get laid elsewhere. Although I never followed through with any of my "searching", if the possibility would have thrown itself into my lap, I would have likely cheated. This came from unhappiness in my marraige.<BR><BR>With couples marraige counseling, I'm now happier, but still not sexually satisfied. I hope to one day get my wife to put out more. If not, I'm ok with it now - unlike in the past.<BR><BR>You shouldn't snoop on your man's computer, but then again, that's a normal thing for people to do, which is called jealousy.<BR><BR>Hate to say it, but if he winds up cheating on you, it may be because of how you treat each other over a span of time. Sex is very important in any relationship, as well as communication.<BR><BR>Best of luck!

    Whysoserious.... We were engaged, have been living together for 10 years in a house that we bought together, and I had been with him for 16 years altogether. Privacy is privacy unless you are cheating and hurting someone else. Turns out that he has some sex addiction that he still has yet to get consistent help for. But the good news is that I broke up with the cheater, sold the house, moved away AND found a great guy!!!!

    If I was him, I'd break up with you. Privacy is privacy.....

    I hate when people confuse relationships for marriages, when your'e married, go ahead and look through the computer, when you're in a relationship, respect the privacy.

    Update .... I left the guy. He is now deeply depressed, was cheating on me, and finally seeking professional help for his issues that he has admitted to and apologized for. Vindication is a good feeling.

    Guys, I check them outta morbid curiosity, probably what he's doing. All you got to do is check is posts. Lighten up! Men are twistedly perverse BUT love their women very much!

  • Hey ive scanned thru those ads prob twice ever only out of curiosity/boredom and imma girl so obviously im not gonna follow through. He may have visited them out of curiosity too or he was looking for a hooker, depends on his personality and whether he's satisfied with you. Also if he's a risk taker type he'd be more likely of the type to follow through wiyh it

    Set a TRAP for him. Post a hot ad on Craigs List that will be hard for him to resist. See if he responds and how far he is ready to go. ;-0)

    Perhaps he formed some sort of compulsive habit of checking them prior to your relationship and consequently it will now take a direct decision and some willpower to stop, but since he is in a relationship, that is a decision he should make. The craigslist ads suck anyway as far as pictures or anything else that is enticing beyond the thought that he could go have sex with her right now.

    ^^^and since when did relationships involve 100% blind trust? He's looking for a side of strange, so her checking the history is hardly as notable in terms of abuse of trust.

    I find it normal. I look through that stuff when I get bored on my phone! Lol. Hell, I'm on IIN via iPhone app as well.

    Just as long as he's not following through with the ads, you're good. And if he ever wants to act out a fantasy, maybe that would spice up your sex life?

    But also, what the hell were you doing looking through his Internet history?
