Well, just to but in here As someone who hasn't been so happy with the idea of their partners watching porn I can't really say for me it's wanting to own their sex drive.
How can I put this, like Catholic_Lady I see sex as something very intimate, albeit not divine or with a supernatural element as she might. Sex, and the feelings that come with it are something I only want to explore or engage in with someone who I feel a great deal for. It's for this reason I really find hook ups quite distasteful, I don't really see how something like sex can be as meaningful and intimate if it's something you've shared with several dozens of people. I'm not condemning or throwing shade at anyone who likes that, far from it. To do it with many different people...For me it just loses something.
Now while porn might not be the same, I was tempted to write "as bad" but I know it's not bad per say, in the back of my mind it's something very similar. Obviously, being gay I'm not thinking about all sexual acts needing to be procreative here, but just aimed towards random people...Ehhh.
TL;DR: I'm very picky about who I get in the sack with, and if I found out my partner wasn't as picky about who or what he got off with I'd see that as cheapening what we have rather than a source of ideas or a release point for when someone wasn't in the mood. I see sex as a sign of deep trust, not so much something done for fun alone although it can be lots of fun. If someone wants to direct their sex drive one way or the other thats fine, but its a sure fire way to turn mine off altogether.
