Many spouses introduce porn-watching together as a tradition in their marriages under the mistaken assumption that it will spice up their marital sex lives. Far from it, porn devastates marriages. When you watch too much porn, you disturb the natural arousal mechanism in your brain. Porn kills the love in marriage in numerous ways, and below we discuss the top 3 ways in which it does so –
- Pornography creates unrealistic expectations – Consumers of pornography need to understand that the pornographic footage has been manipulated and isn’t a depiction of real life. The kind of sexual performance that a porn star displays onscreen has been subject to edits and takes. Your marital partner who you will have sex with will be there with you in person. Their performance in bed will be all-natural without any editorial help.
- It fosters objectification – If you watch porn excessively, you could get into the habit of objectifying your partner. They could lose their worth in your eyes and simply become reduced to a sex object. You must remember that pornography is performance; sex with your partner is all about intimacy. It should be loving and affectionate and not just need-based.
- Porn can make your partner selfish – If your partner watches too much porn, they could become incredibly self-serving in bed. When they watch porn, they can reach their climax and then stop. However, when they are having sex with you, they need to help you derive your satisfaction from the sexual interaction too. If they are in the habit of watching porn, this could begin to feel like a task to them.
Porn encourages unrealistic body images and sexual performances, which can not only damage your marriage but your overall individual perspective. If you introduced in the marriage it is time to remove it from your marriage from this day forward.
