Get it wrong and it could be your most embarrassing moment…
“Watching porn together expands your sexual repertoire, which is the key to a long-lasting, enjoyable sex life,” says doctor of human sexuality Emily Morse, the host of hit podcast Sex With Emily. Add this to the fact that a staggering 96% of women surveyed by sex shop Ann Summers admitted they have watched porn with a partner and liked it, and you start to wonder just why us guys are so bloody terrified of asking our better halves if they want to watch a skin flick together. The pros say it’s good for us. The ladies admit they love it. Why is it so easy to wuss out at the prospect of popping the dirty little question?
In short, it seems everything could go wrong. What if asking her makes us look like a pervert? What if she hates the idea? What if a ginormous red-faced growling porn star with abs like an egg box, going about his day job by sticking his business all over the place, makes us look like a sexual damp flannel?
Chill your beans. Imagine us as your guiding light, leading you to lady-friendly grumble-watching success. To ensure you’re never left blushing and pleading with your other half to let you back in the house, we’ve enlisted the help of Summer, Jo and Lana, three beautiful friends of FHM, who hold the key to an awkward-free couple’s porn party….

THE BURNING QUESTIONS:
Q- How should I ask her?
JO: “The most important thing is to make sure your girlfriend doesn’t think you’re doing it because you don’t think she’s good enough. You’ve got to approach it as a bedroom experiment for you both, rather than you just getting your rocks off to porn stars.”
LANA: “I’ve always been the one to initiate it actually. I just came out with it. It went down pretty well. So be confident that she’ll be up for it. I am!”
Q- What should I do if she asks what sort of porn I watch when she’s not around?
SUMMER: “Girls know that their boyfriends watch porn, so it’s really nothing to be embarrassed about. Most girls are doing it too, they’re just super-secret about it. Being open in a relationship is the key. If you can’t be open about sex, then you’re gonna hit rock bottom real fast.”
Q- What sort of porn do girls like?
JO: “I personally watch lesbian porn. That’s a good place to start.”
“Girls know that their boyfriends watch porn, so it’s really nothing to be embarrassed about. Most girls are doing it too, they’re just super-secret about it.
Q- What’s the biggest mistake a man can make while he’s watching it?
JO: “Having a wank by himself. Can you imagine?!”
LANA: “Just make sure you know she’s there. Engage with her. Tell her what you like. I think watching anything too unreal and plastic is bad too. I like seeing real girls with real boobs in porn – it makes it feel more, well, real.”
Q- What if I don’t like what she likes?
LANA: “Me and my ex had really different tastes in porn, but our sex life was amazing. Just because we liked to watch different stuff didn’t mean our sex sucked. Sure, it’s fun, but you don’t need to watch porn to have great sex.”
Q- How will I know when to press pause and get on with the business?
SUMMER: “Why would you press pause? Keep it rolling in the background!”
LANA: “You could see who lasts the longest – you or the porn stars.”
