not unreasonable at all. i do the same thing. though i told my bf the only way he's going is if i go too. lol.

I wouldn't be cool with my boyfriend going to a strip club either, unless it was a special event like a bachelor party. It's not a matter of trust or distrust or insecurity, I just find them tasteless. Let me clarify, the strippers aren't necessarily tasteless themselves, I'd assume the majority of them are doing what they have to do to support themselves. But the establishment itself is tasteless.

Am I the only one who thinks a dedicated couple should only admire each other's bodies and no one else's? I think it's beautiful when two people share that bond and only want to have and look at each other, and my boyfriend thinks the same thing. Besides, not wanting him to look at other women isn't mistrust, it's wanting to be his one and only and having a feeling that her body alone is good enough for him; otherwise body image problems may arise.

crazy

I wonder how he'd react if you went to see sexy male strippers with your friends

Tell him "if you can do it, so can I" and go visit a strip club yourself. You are being controlling by denying him this. I'm a married female, been with my guy for over 13 years. We go to strip clubs once in a while.
