There is something primal and raw about porn. It either brings out the carnal erotic/sexual needs, or makes you feel like all those super cool, amazing, highly-skilled moves you have perfected throughout the years … are not that amazing after all. Women are more likely to watch porn these days, as it has pretty much integrated itself in our everyday visuals. Whether it’s a movie on Lifetime or a music video on MTV, porn and its effects on our society are everywhere. Girls dress skimpier, singers emulate sexual acts in their performances, and you cannot go to a club or bar without experiencing those chicks that pretend to be gay and make out with each other for attention. And trust me in L.A. that happens everyday in a bar or club, hell it probably happens at the mall, library, market, shoe store, school … OK, I’ll stop. Back to the topic at hand … Here is the question of the hour: Does watching porn help or hinder your relationships?
Porn can have many effects on your relationship. It can be a teaching tool, it can be a mood enhancer, it can be an inhibition breaker, it can be fun, erotic, and sexy. But porn can also put you or your partner in a perpetual state of fantasy. You may began to compare your lover to the men and women in these movies. At times you may even form an attachment to an actor and think this is how your man/woman should behave when you are intimate. And at its worse porn can become an addiction. My ex hid a porn addiction that I thankfully discovered. He would spend hours on the computer with the door closed, and he actually chose porn over being intimate with me. Here is the thing, I was not upset with him for watching it, I was upset with the addiction he formed to it.
