Which I think is the driving factor behind a lot of the 'angst' around it.

Important to any good relationship is clear and honest communication about expectations.

If, say, someone has drawn some line in the sand with their partner about naked pictures of women (or men) and then they keep discovering that the other person still looks at them, it's reasonable to figure that they may get bent out of shape, even to the point of endlessly ranting against it to strangers in incoherent non-sequiturs.
