Hi friends, Just a simple question. If one day you find that your decent good friend has suddenly changed his taste and enjoys watching pron clips on his mobile all the time, how will you react......I agree that there is no harm in this, but will your respect for the person still remain unchanged....will you take this seriously or just ignore this matter by appreciating the modern technology.....Please give your opinion just for my general knowledge.. Thanks

HI aps! I think if my friend does anything privately in his/her spare time, I should have no objection with the fact how s/he chooses to spend his/her time. If s/he asks for my advice on any issue then I could tell him/her pros and cons and consequence of s/he indulging in any of the hobbies/acts. My relations/friendship with him/her is based on his/her overall personality, attitude, behavior and conduct and I will go by that. There is no question of not respecting his/her because of his personal tastes etc.

You are right Deepak, judging should be based on real personality and trust and temporary changes should not effect foundation of true friendship.So I have already spoken to this special friend of mine and all the misunderstandings are clear now with happy ending and fresh beginning .Thanks for your nice reply.

I would be laughing at said person, sounds like a sketch. After a while just ignore it eventually someone else is gonna see if he keeps going maybe the embarrassment will help.

Well it becomes quite serious and worth considering issue if the person under consideration is so close to you. And it is not a matter of technological advancements rather its a matter of self control,spirituality,and one's outlook towards physical intimacy. You cannot declare that it is good or bad because it completely depends on how you look at it. I think you should talk to him and share what you feel about this habit of his. If he respects you then he will take care of your concern. If i were you then his image in my eyes would have certainly degraded and the extent of respect i have had for him would also have been fallen to a great extent.:)

Yes saurabhreighs.........I was also afraid that his image in my eyes will degrade and I will lose him and that is why I spoke to him as soon as I could and now all the misunderstandings are clear and friendship with respect has become more strong.. Thanks for your response.

It's his life, and what he does in his own free time is no personal business of mine. If he is the friend that you say he is, surely something as trivial as this would not stand in the way of your friendship? You two probably became friends because you got along great, and are you really willing to let something like this ruin your friendship? Think about it. If what he's doing is really starting to bother you, talk to him, and tell me how you're feeling. Perhaps the both of you can find a compromise? Good luck!

Yes, but for true friendship..infact in any kind of strong relationship respect plays a very important role...respect is first step and then the rest.After talking to my friend on this topic....we have maintained friendship as well as respect. Thanks for your reply.

wow it is really hard one... because in every decision or every words that should come out from your mouth must not hurt your friend...but i think your friend will understand you if you give him/her a true reaction regarding his new hobbies... and i think it is right as a friend to remind her/him of the consequences or effect of watching pron clips.. it is your way to make her/him feel that you care ...

hi apsara60, i would say that in that case you need a serious face to face discussion on what your friend thinks about his doings. its not a matter of sudden change.if can be his sudden liking for the thing has increased or may be he need to be advised or told about his behavior. so instead of panicking on his changed attitude and interest i would suggest you to have an open ended discussion on what drives him so much to watch such clips on his mobile. until you tell him that you are bothered may be hes not realizing that hes doing something which is disturbing you. go ahead and have a face to face communication to clear the matter and answer your queries.
