Masturbation is in itself a wholly selfish experience. It's a method if focusing entirely on yourself and what feels good to you. You don't have to worry about performance or your appearance - just on what you like.
It's therapeutic and allows you to focus on your fantasies and establish a deeper connection to the sexual portion of your mind.
The use of porn as a sexual stimulant during masturbation rarely stems from a desire to 'be with' the individuals in the movie. (This would be an obsession dementia - otherwise known as a bad thing) but normally comes from a want to see the act of uninhibited-care-free-sex itself.

Also, pornography is not discriminating against women. I say this because it treats both women and men as objects. (rather than just women, as many opponents state) When was the last time you thought 'I'd really like to get to know that man, he seems like an interesting guy...' when you were watching porn? I bet it was the same time you thought 'I'd really like to get to know that woman, he seems like an interesting girl...' To add to my argument, men are the ones actually exploited by pornography. They are the ones who are the main focus of the market, they are the ones advertised to, and they are the ones who utilize it (almost) daily.

This whole post/rant was to say that you should not feel upset that your boyfriend/girlfriend looks at porn. Of course, I can understand why you could feel this way, but (usually) porn means nothing to your significant other.
Hope this helps... :P
