Can you get addicted to watching horror movies?

[Knappke]

I realized my bf always has his portable dvd player with him and he watches horror movies in the least appropriate situations i.e. e.g after we have sex. Do you think he is addicted to horror movies? What can I do about it?
Thanks...

It's very possible, I'm addicted to horror films. You could try hiding his portable dvd player :p.

Watching a flick after a good shag is good in my book, the only problem I can see is if you don’t like horror and/or he is watching the same movie over and over.

As far as what you can do about it...start enjoying horror movies or get your own portable player.

Watching horror movies after sex is considered INappropriate?

I dont think the problem is that he's a horror addict; I think the problem is that.. he's.. a guy. :D We're generally pretty insensitive and dumb.

kick his ass! Don't slam the genre.

I'm addicted to Horror movies and watch them all the time. Nothing wrong with it. :D

Interesting question: horror addiction. Perhaps I am, especially to asian horror - can't get enough of them!

Don't like horror yourself? I didn't think I did that much, although I never actively avoided it. If I heard good things about something, I checked it out. I was afraid I couldn't handle gore and was surprised by how much I could handle!

You can't change him. That's true about anything in any relationship. You have to accept this about him. Some women are "football widows," maybe you'll be a "horror widow."

I say have him introduce you to the genre, so you can spend time together watching them. If you're afraid of not liking gore, there are plenty of good, scary movies that are gore-free. Start with Halloween (the original, before you see the remake). Talk to him about it. There really a lot of fun movies in the genre and they're not all cheesy teen slashers as the mainstream audiences tend to think when they hear the word "horror."

Good luck!

I've heard about guys falling asleep but this takes the cake...I say blast him for his behavior...don't let him get away with it or it WILL get worse I assure you.

If it bothers you, you should address it. You don't have to share his love for the genre, but you should respect it. If his hobby is putting a strain on the relationship, the two of you need to work together and come up with a set of boundaries that you can both live with. The trick is making sure that you are both getting what you want. "Dealing with it" or forcing yourself to watch horror movies is not the answer.

I'd just be worried about what films he's watching...
If your done the love-making and he watches the Friday the 13th films but skips to the post-coital massacres, I'd be a little worried. :D

Oooh listen to you! What are you a relationship councelor now as well as a horror expert?!!

I guess the three word response I have in my head isn't the best advice then?!

I better just DEAL WITH IT! :D

i would be alittle worried if the guy i had sex with put on a horror of some girl been chased down by a psycho .

1st.during sex was he thinking about what movie to watch

2nd.may`be all the screaming and gunting gets him in the mood to watch screaming a gunting off a different kind in a horror movie.

3rd may`be you could do doggie so you can have sex and he can watch a movie

[PackBacker]

I'd only worry if he watches them during sex. Then you have multiple problems. I'd write to Ann Landers (or is she dead?) to see her opinion...
