Is it appropriate for my boyfriend of over 2 years to be following a porn star on twitter?

Yes. It's not like she's going to reach through the computer and molest him or something.

I can understand women having problems with porn, but the key thing to remember is that a porn star is an unattainable fantasy figure, and both those who watch and the porn star prefer it that way, as a rule. Porn stars have lives outside of their job, just like anybody else, and they've got fans, just like anybody on camera. Your boyfriend shouldn't have let it slip he was following a porn star on Twitter if he knew it would bother you, but by the same token, you probably have nothing to be bothered about.

I'd talk to him about how you feel, but keep in mind that this really isn't a huge deal, and you'll be OK.

OK, then, OP, by your reasoning, you don't and aren't going to follow any male celebrities that the media consider hot or sexy, right?

Awesome answer, kathsunshine! He's just being a fan, nothing more.

that is unless he has the ability to be near that porn star...

Even if he had the ability to be somewhere near the porn star I don't think it'd make a huge difference. I'm pretty sure that porn stars have a wide dating pool that includes a lot of "bigger fish" than the average Joe Shmoe... pro athletes, entertainers, other porn stars etc. etc. etc.

That's the thing I don't like about it... "unattainable" fantasy figure? So if she were attainable, would it be a problem?... or would he not fantasize about her anymore?

Is nobody going to acknowledge the fact that it is kind of creepy? And immature?

user-pic

Eh, probably not because its neither creepy or immature...

I agree it's a good answer. The porn star is definitely unattainable. However, it still makes me a little uneasy knowing he's ogling her private parts. I don't have a problem with the viewing of porn as part of our healthy sexual relationship. It just makes me uneasy that he's follow one in particular. There is no chance of them meeting so that's reassuring.
