I guess that makes sense, Keyori. I just think that, in most cases, such details won't come up in modern society as they did with you guys. Of course, I'm pessimistic at the moment. Most likely because I'm having separate issues with my girlfriend and because I'm tired. That's posted on another thread, however. We won't get into it here.

I think that you're right, though. Compromise can be achievable with this, though it's still pretty cut-and-dry. Compromise doesn't have to be about rules and regulations (I mentioned these in an earlier post). Your case is a more loving, healthy relationship than any of the examples that you or I gave, though. I just think it depends on the couple.

I STILL think, however, that an uncomfortable partner wins out. That's part of a relationship: give-and-take. Then again, for me, porn and masturbation are very minor. I've always been very innocent when it came to physicalities in relationships. I've never had sex. I've only even kissed one girl. It's just the way I am. Physical pleasure isn't that big of a deal to me, and this likely biases me quite a bit. I don't have a sex drive so I don't really understand the need for physical satisfaction.
