Am I silly for not wanting my boyfriend to watch love island

Yes, I think it's silly.

Never watched it myself and I can appreciate the body image concerns but barring someone else from watching it isn't going to prevent them having lusty thoughts. Nor indeed are lusty thoughts going to kill a relationship. They're choosing to be with you.

Thank you for your response! I’m not barring him, I never would, I’m just uncomfortable with him doing that

Am I? I don’t watch it myself as I’m aware it gives me poor self esteem and body image and is quite damaging to me. However my boyfriend watches it and I’m quite uncomfortable with that. I don’t want to come across possessive or controlling for feeling insecure that he may be watching women and lusting over them in their bikinis and skimpy outfits. Could I get your views on this topic please?

heyy! honestly I think the above replies was a bit harsh and I completely understand your perspective. I also think your thoughts are completely reasonable and I believe you are also quite young so not silly at all! I think the best thing to do is to talk to him about your feelings and go from there

It is the opposite of 'reasonable' and stems from an insecurity which needs to be addressed.

I never said it doesn’t need to be addressed. What I said is I’m sure OP is young, as in in her teens, and this is an issue that is extremely common. Her thoughts are reasonable in the sense that young girls often feel self conscious and are you suggesting her feeling this way is completely unreasonable? Whilst of course, stopping her significant other from watching a show is unreasonable, - her thoughts certainly are not and she should not think they are. Despite this, it does need to be addressed and changed, but you saying her thoughts are unreasonable is completely dismissing her feelings.

If you really think that any of this demonstrates 'sound judgement' (which is what 'reasonable' means: see also 'rational', 'sensible', 'proportionate', 'appropriate') then I can't help you.
