How do you stop yourself from getting jealous when there are attractive members of the opposite sex on the TV and your partner is looking?
My partner is allowed to look at other women. There are a lot of attractive women out there, both on television and in real life. The same is true for me with men.
The key is that both of us know we would never actually pursue something with anyone else, no matter how good-looking that person might be. We are both very secure in our relationship and more than that, we trust each other. Men (and women) are never going to be able to completely turn off recognizing an attractive member of the opposite sex.
Humans were not created to be monogamous; we were created to procreate, and our instincts still understand this. The difference is that we now choose to be with our partners, and only our partners. So as long as all he is doing is looking, jealousy, at least for me, is not a factor.
You can't stop yourself from being jealous, it's a perfectly natural reaction. You can, however, stop yourself from reacting badly as a result of jealousy. Realize that you yourself probably look at attractive members of the opposite sex when they're on TV, but you still obviously love your partner enough to be jealous when they do the same thing.
Don't stress out about it.
Just realize that they are only on t.v. It is normal to Idolize or be attracted to someone "famous", you just have to remind yourself, the chances of that happening it slim to none! It is harmless in my opinion, so don't worry.

Men are always going to look. Being jealous or rather acting out on your jealousy might actually allienate him and weaken your relationship.
In fact, he even seems to be encouraging and indulging the shameless slattern's disgusting, desperate, gall-filled pleas for sexual attention. Unfortunately, the minute you display jealousy, you convey neediness and insecurity and according to Jungian psychiatrist William Rock Penfield, people of both sexes find this extremely unattractive in a partner. What they really find attractive is something called "the unattainable."
That is why your boyfriend is flirting with the gorgeous interloper in the first place. He knows he belongs to you and therefore she becomes attractive because she is unattainable. Another reason we flip out, and become jealous is because we know we've already been "attained".
The person knows he already "has you" so there is nothing to chase... no thrill to the hunt... the cupid's arrow has already met its mark and now you are about as sexually exciting as a carcass thrown in a burlap sack. No, the best thing for you to do in such a situation, is to mirror his behavior. Make yourself unattainable.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
