Reasons Pornography Hurts Marriages

• Guilt, mistrust, and anger about pornography can tear your marriage apart.
• Turning to pornography may cause your spouse to withdraw from your relationship because he receives instant gratification from his fantasies.
• When your husband views porn you may feel disrespected, take it personally, and believe that you aren't enough for him. This can create a wedge in your marriage.
• Pornography could make it difficult for your husband to see sex as a loving form of communication. As a result, pornography can decrease sexual satisfaction within your marriage.

Talk With One Another About Pornography

Sexual therapists suggest that partners not try to censor one another's thoughts or to force one another to view offensive material.

Whether or not pornography will add to or lessen a couple's sexual enjoyment is up to each couple.
