The Real Sex Addiction Is Watching Porn
There is no denying that sex and Porn go hand in hand. It is undeniable that people, men and women alike, watch porn videos for many reasons, some of which may be selfish. Some may do so as a way to feel better about themselves. Some may even view porn movies as a way to please their partner in bed. Whatever the reason, it is clear that watching porn is not necessarily unhealthy or unsavory.
Sex and Porn are very similar, except for the main factor which is that they provide the voyeur with the feeling of arousal. Porn, erotic movies, or sex videos are movies that present sexual subject matter to arouse and fulfill the viewer in some way. Porn videos present erotic sexual fantasies and most often contain erotically arousing content including nudity and/or sexual intercourse. People view these movies as "free-will sex." Porn allows a person to masturbate and to experience the feelings associated with sexual arousal without the added pressure of peer pressure or societal judgement.
With masturbation being the only real way to learn about sex, there are those who masturbate solely for the purpose of sex. This is fine for those looking for only casual sex or someone who is not concerned with pleasing their partner in the bedroom. However, those who are looking to progress to sex later in life and to fill the sexual needs of their partner may find masturbation to be unsatisfactory or simply lacking. In addition, those who have already come to the point where sex is a natural and regular part of their daily life may find that masturbation can be quite painful because of the associated muscle soreness and discomfort, as well as the added time it takes to relax and become aroused.
Enter the world of adult film. Adult films are adult videos that focus on sex instead of a romance or a focus on relationships between two people. Instead of a man lying on a bed with a woman, an adult film often focuses on one woman having sex with multiple men. The women in the porn films range from small and sexy to extremely large and even naked. Some films feature men having sex with women in such a position that they appear to be performing a sex act.
While watching Porn, it is common for men to become engrossed in the images, especially if they are looking for the scenes with actual sex. Men may fantasize about having sex with their partners, especially if they are married. They may use porn as a way to think about and explore their sexuality. Men can use Porn to improve their intimacy, whether in the bedroom or outside of the bedroom. When men are more comfortable with their sexuality and with expressing themselves through masturbation, they may use adult film to get an idea of what types of things they find stimulating and erotic. If they have trouble using their imagination or lack the skills necessary to stimulate themselves, they may turn to Porn to learn how to better enjoy their sex life.
Ashley Fires, a 24 year-old married woman from Ohio, recently went to rehab because of problems she was having with her husband. She had become extremely isolated due to the distance between her family. She was also suffering from withdrawal from using her prescription painkillers, which she had been taking to deal with back pain. She didn't want to do any more drugs, even though she knew that doing so would worsen her dependence and put her health at risk. She was shopping for adult DVDs when she came across something that started to make her feel uncomfortable. She browsed through some of the lingerie and Porn that she found there and noticed a scene from a movie that made her feel aroused and attracted to her partner.
Ashley was able to save her relationship with her husband by making changes to her lifestyle. She realized that she had to stop using her drug to numb her body for sex and focus on being a loving, responsible wife who loved her husband deeply. Porn can be used to replace real sex, but it is not harmless. It can lead to all kinds of unhealthy things and is completely separate from the act of lovemaking. The act of sex is completely separate and should never be equated.
As a society, we're still trying to figure out how to treat porn addicts. Many people don't understand the impact that it has on a person's life. They think that it's only harmless fun until they see the damage that it can cause. It seems like more adults are getting caught up into this dangerous habit and are struggling with the loss of their personal and family life as a result. Make sure you know the signs of a Porn addiction before it consumes you or a loved one.
