Watching lots of porn is said to increase arousal and enhance desire for sexual intercourse. It also provides ideas to experiment with different types of sexual activities. In case, you plan to share the idea with your partner or prefer to ‘watch and forget it’, then porn will not cause any damage.

But, if you solely depend upon it to get aroused sexually, then porn is sure to become problematic.

Porn & relationships

Porn is said to be free from all complications and intricacies which may develop in real-life relationship, thus making it feel all the more exciting and appealing. However, this is not real life! At the same time, it also does not relate to another person, enjoying what comes with the closeness and unique bond that relationship has to provide.

These days, youngsters can get access to unlimited porn and masturbation is their initial introduction towards sex. Watching porn stars in actions, considered to be mere performers is regarded to the blueprint for sexual activities. It can be a tough act to perform, with women having perfectly aligned labia, muscle men hung similar to donkeys, small waists and big pert breasts. The truth is that, not everyone is like that. Such blueprints only cause performance anxiety and causes poor body image. Such preoccupation also is likely to interfere with sexual pleasure.

Watching porn can have a great influence with your behavior and how you behave with your sexual partners. You may expect women to be clean shaven of their public hair or not use condom as noticed in the screen. It will be unwise to avoid using condoms as it might protect from HIV and STI transmission.

Proper communication is essential for healthy relationship and everything needs to be shared with the partner. If you are reliant upon porn and have the urge to keep it a secret from the partner and it might affect your ability to get aroused sexually with your partner, then it is high time to have this issue addressed immediately. Your heavy watching of porn might be discovered by your partner, leaving him/her shocked to discover this new side. In such a case, discussion will help.
