Porn Addiction in Relationships

Have you ever considered the effects pornography can have on a relationship? Porn can actually be healthy for a relationship and can help partners have fun and explore with each other. But like everything, too much of anything is never good. For some people this isn’t just something they watch occasionally, it's something that has changed how they act. Porn addiction in relationships is becoming a more serious problem with the ease of finding pornography for free on the internet. Listed below are the most common side effects a porn addiction can have on a relationship.

Unrealistic Expectations

Porn creates unrealistic expectations in people’s minds.  Not everyone looks like a super model in the real world and women don’t want sex all the time.

Self-esteem

Tying in with the first point, porn lowers self esteem making people believe they need to be as skinny or muscular as the actors and actresses they see.

Decreased Physical Intimacy

Constantly watching porn or masturbating can reduce the want for physical intimacy with your partner.

Loss of Social Life

The majority of porn addicts only want to stay at home on the computer and rarely want to go out and do anything else.

Change in Perception of Women

The most common theme in pornography is a woman giving herself to the man to please him, the entire focus being on the man. This can lead to the perception that women’s needs don’t need to be considered and only the man’s satisfaction matters.

Act Differently in the Bedroom

Your partner might want to emulate things they have seen which might not necessarily be healthy.

Diminished Sexual Pleasure

Too much porn can lead to a sort of “pleasure plateau”.  This will eventually lead to your partner needing something more graphic or exciting to get them stimulated.
