re: what are your addictions?

Um. I don't think its "normal" or healthy in a marriage/relationship but my saying that is countercultural. So I know I'll get blasted. I will do everything in my power to teach my child that porn is unnatural and something that will jade his expectations of sexuality

A guy masturbating is not the same as having a porn addiction though. Your marriage isn't in shambles if your husband masturbates(and trust me...he does but obviously if you feel strongly against it he is never gonna admit this to you). It's not even him choosing that over having sex with you. A man could have plenty of sex with his wife and he will STILL masturbate.

I mean if you say and think it's normal then that honestly strengthens my beliefs even further. No offense.

Are you talking about porn, masturabtion or both?

Granted there are limits to what could be considered healthy or constructive... but you sound like you've got some hangups.


ETA:

I cracking myself up now thinking on how to define "constructive masturbation" or use it in a sentence.

You can think porn is unnatural all you want, but any boy you have is going do it. It's incredibly natural. Any guy who tries to make you believe he wasn't doing it while in a relationship with you has most likely lied to you. It's one thing if a person is addicted to porn or masturbating, but it's ridiculous to expect one's significant other not to do it at all and sounds like the opinion of someone who is insecure about themselves.
