Pornography and sexual relationship - What are the effects?

Though it may sound unbelievable, pornography has quite a few benefits to offer to a relationship, as per the various recent studies. From making the sexual arousal quicker to giving new ideas to couples for saving their sex life from becoming dull and uninteresting, watching pornography can even help in increasing one's sexual interest in his/her partner than before. Just like sharing any activity or task together, watching pornography together can help couples in achieving a more comfortable intimacy.

While for some pornography can destroy their sexual relationships, for some it can help it making the sexual relationship more intimate, more exciting. The negative or positive effects of pornography depend on how one perceives it and put it into use. Due to the dramatic and explicit presentation of the sexual content, while some become addicted to it, for some it gives a closer look to the various unexplored domains of sex. Watching pornography excessively can sometimes affect one s desire of having an actual sexual relationship, as they become addicted to virtual ones more.

There is no proven fact that pornography only damages sexual relationships. The misuse of it solely lies on one s way of watching or using it. When people make watching pornography their addiction and starts cheating on their partners or fails to stay committed to only one relationship, it s not pornography that makes them do it, but their inner desire boosted by what they see on the screen. Watching porn once in a while is very normal to boost up one s sexual life; however, when it becomes an addiction, visiting a sexologist can be the right solution.

Not all people are open and aware of their sexual fantasies or sexual turn-ons. Many individuals feel ashamed or shy about disclosing their sexual fantasies to their partners. However, pornography can help in knowing what their partners' inner desires are or what kind of sexual activity they really like to indulge in, though unable to say them. Remember not to overdo it when introducing your partner to pornography, to find out her/his secret sexual desires.
