		<description>I think it all depends on the couple.  I think some men can access what most people would consider porn and not have it affect thier marriage and some women just don&#039;t care if their husbands access pictures of nude women.  Just like I don&#039;t care if my husband looks at another woman while we&#039;re out.  We even discuss what constitutes beauty in other people...men or worme and we have fun with it.  He and I are very secure in our relationship, so I don&#039;t worry if he wants to look at pictures on the internet and he doesn&#039;t have to hide it from me.  We&#039;ve been married almost 10 years now, and we love each other more than ever.</description>

		<description>Corey and Everyone Else-

I believe everybody has their own individual thoughts and views on pornography. Most men that I know like pornography because they can use it to have sex with other women in their heads, and that makes them not want to have sex with their parteners. Don&#039;t say that I don&#039;t know what I&#039;m talking about either. I have many writings about my husbands friends and their relationships with their wives. They come to me and tell me that I&#039;m the only one they can talk to about what&#039;s going on and it started with pornography. 

After they birthed children, the men&#039;s wives did not want to have sex as much as they did before and when they were pregnant, so they turned to pornography to gain the sexual pleasure they needed. They had all the love and attention they could get from their wives inbetween the women caring for the children, which the husbands wouldn&#039;t do in the first place. So, not only did they expect the women to have sex with regularily, they expected them to be up and down with their infants every night, work outside of the home, and take care of them as well. All of this started happening AFTER pornography was introduced in the home. 

I&#039;m not just speaking for the other couples either, this is my own life story as well. After I birthed my little girl, my sex drive went somewhere else for about 2 years. In the time that my child was still an infant, my husband started to watch pornography. Before he started to watch pornography, he was a wonderful father and partener to me. He helped me at night by changing clothing and we daipers while I breastfed every 2 hours. Granted, he went to work also (a hard labor job), so took over taking care of the baby and house work. We had a great partenership, but our sex life was lacking. I told him that sexual intercourse hurt me so he went and purchased hardcore pornography behind my back. He didn&#039;t use pornography to bring our sexual intamcy back together, he hid it from me and sometime later, I figured out why. 

He wanted the pornography because of his sexual fantasy that he couldn&#039;t get at home. The trouble is, he never told me. So far he&#039;s spent more than a hundred dollars on this type of hard core pornography and continues to spend.

Now our relationship is in a wreck. He&#039;s always angry with me, no matter if we have the kind of sex he wants or not. He never takes care of his daughter. He wants me to take care of him, the child, and the house while I work. He see&#039;s me as an object during sex. He thinks my body is disgusting, yet I&#039;m down to the same size as when we first me, and wishes I was skinnier and had bigger breasts. He wants me to preform the violent and dangerous sex acts that he sees on the pornography. He wants to have multiple parteners and expects me to stay with him while he&#039;s doing these things. He won&#039;t seek coulseling with me and expects me to stay with him while he&#039;s going out and having sex with other women. 

He hasn&#039;t done it yet, but he&#039;s paying hundreds of dollars a year at a booty call website on top of the pornography he buys. If he didn&#039;t buy all these things, we could have had a better relationship and a better life together, but now it&#039;s worse. Now he&#039;s unemployed but yet he continues to spend our savings on pornography. 

You people don&#039;t know what your talking about because pornography has never ruined your personal relationships but has ruined mine and the relationships of the two females&#039; that I have been talking to and writing about. I&#039;m very disappointed with the fact that so many people, MEN and WOMEN alike, don&#039;t understand that porn CAN ruin marital intimacy, but the fact that not only do they don&#039;t understand but DO NOT CARE as well, makes me disgusted to think I came from the same primordial soup as everybody else.

I&#039;m disappointed in the husbands more than anyone else because they can&#039;t see how  great they have it with women who care so much about them, and how much their wives are trying to get their attention and have a great intimate relationship with them.</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t done research on porn but I have watched and this is my beef with pornography. For one thing, their is so much pornography nowadays it is a complete overload of the senses. Everybody likes sex but it is insanely unneccesary for the amount of porn that exists to exist at all. Secondly, the accesibility of pornography is so prevalent in modern society that yes it does mould young men&#039;s ideas about fidelity, the physical value of women, and it also affects there sexual tastes. For instance one might have no interest in hitting women during sex but if they didn&#039;t know any better and watched porn where this was being done they might adopt it into their sex lives. Thirdly and this is probably the most important, the pornography is a huge vehicle for racism, misogyny, and it also serves to disqualify the roles of women in society. You&#039;ll notice that any authoritative or emotionally valuable role women hold in society has been attacked. There is pornography with grandmothers performing oral sex, pregnant women, women in the professional world, mothers, young women, heavy women, and women of specific racial background. To suggest that the pornography industry exists for the benefit of anyone but the profiteers that offer it would be absurd. Is human sexuality natural and healthy yes: there&#039;s nothing wrong with enjoying it. However watching people get treated like crap for money is not healthy and alot of pornography is just that, and it is intentionally made that way.</description>

		<description>Thanks for digging up the research. It is so important that couples understand the false intimacy of porn. So important! Men really need to find accountability in this area, whether or not their struggle is habitual. You might like this video story of a couple that found healing in this regard:

You also might like this guest post on my blog from Mark Gaither. Really interesting take on how women see pornography:

		<description>O.k. you say: &quot;My husband likes porn and he is very particular about what he likes… the woman has to look like me&quot;...Are you 100% sure... A lot of  men have a &quot;secret garden&quot; and it&#039;s not because he lets you in, that he&#039;s completely opened about its content...I was once as naive as to believe my man was &quot;the most transparent an honest of them all&quot;, up until the day I discovered the ugly truth, and that what had  started as a playful way to spice up our sexual life had turned into something I was really not prepared for!  I don&#039;t know how old you are, but for many of us women, between childbearing and aging, life is cruel on our bodies and the man in our life don&#039;t find it as attractive and sexy as it used to be, so they start seaking elsewhere what they do not have at home anymore...If for a small pourcentage of couples, porn remains a way to &quot;better sex within the couple&quot;, unfortunately it is not the case for many more!  So ask yourself these questions:  How will I feel if I ever discover that my man does not only look at women that look like me? or : What will I do if he is having ciber sex or an affair with someone else?   Believe me, I do not wish any arm to your relationship, but the fact is that porn is like any other type of addiction...it always starts very innocently, but it&#039;s insidious...you know when, how and where it stars, but you never know the end result!</description>

		<description>A lot has been said about porns morality but what it really comes down to is an honest look at how it effects your relationship with your partner.  I&#039;m kind of torn about whether porn is inherently immoral... the point that it is largely degrading to women is valid... the point that women like Jamison have used this to HER advantage and been very successful is also true and valid.

My husband and I have watched porn together.... we had some hotter sex, yes, but it also felt a little more empty to me... something was missing.  The intimacy wasn&#039;t there.   It felt a bit like some of the one night stands I had in my single days.  It scratched an itch but felt superficial.  

My other problem is that I figured out that lots of young men seem to get their sex training from watching porn.  Unfortuneatly, a lot of what the movies show turning a woman inside out with ectasy doesn&#039;t actually work as well in real life.   I base this observation on a couple relationships and discussions with girl friends.  We all have had to break husbands or boyfriends of at least one or two &quot;tricks&quot; they picked up from porn.</description>
