Eventually, the porn addict becomes obsessed with pornography in more extreme forms, growing increasingly secretive and isolated from loved ones.
Men who are exposed to porn describe themselves as less in love with their partner than men who don’t view porn.
Porn addiction makes real relationships less satisfying, encouraging an unrealistic view of healthy relationships.
After being exposed to porn, people are more critical of their partner’s appearance, sexual performance and displays of affection.
Pornography often shows women as sexual objects. Porn addicts begin to view women as they are portrayed---as subordinate and to be dominated. Unlike porn, real relationships are built on equality, respect and love.
Not only does porn objectify people, it also often glorifies violence, infidelity and abuse.
Porn addiction is devastating to the user’s partner too. From ignoring their partner to feeling like he or she doesn’t measure up, a porn addict destroys the relationship.
Health problems such as chronic erectile dysfunction and other sexual health issues often occur as a result of porn addiction.
