One of the biggest dangers to modern marriages and a common contributing factor in divorces is pornography. So many couples are affected when one, or both, spouses habitually watches it.
One area in particular that is getting ruined is the healthy sex lives of married couples.
Here are 4 reasons why:
1. It Creates False Expectations People who watch pornography often begin to expect, and even demand, that their sex lives be like what they see on the screen. The sexual acts depicted are not the ones that loving couples perform, but instead degrading and insulting acts of lust, not love.
2. It Damages Your Body Men who watch pornography train their bodies in way that they are not intended to be used. Men who watch porn often often experience impotency, and an inability to perform with their spouses. Women also experience negative physical side effects from frequent use of pornography.
3. It Separates Sex From Love Pornography does not depict healthy and loving relations, but instead a one sided act that only seeks one’s own pleasure. Sex in a marriage is an expression of love, where two people become one. But in pornography, sex is depicted as an act of lust where the goal is not union with the other, but to use a person as means for gratification.
4. It Crushes The Confidence of The Other Spouse If one spouse discovers that the other has been watching porn, they often feel as though they are lacking something that their spouse is seeking. They feel like they less attractive and feel betrayed
