Does Watching Porn Damage Relationships? With Della Dane

This week, Della is tackling a common query from a reader who has heard that watching porn is nothing but bad news…

Dear Della and SGP,

I’m 25, and just now starting to explore my body for the first time. Slutty Girl Problems’ site has really helped me a lot. 

 

Something I’m uncomfortable with, but curious about, is the idea of porn. I’ve been told my whole life that porn is ALWAYS addictive and ruins marriages. I’d like to try watching some, but I’m scared. I don’t wanna ruin my marriage.

 

I guess my questions is, does that hold any truth?

 

Thanks,

Worried to Wank

Hi there!

 

Thank you for your question, and I’m glad that you’ve found SGP to help with your sexual exploration. It’s an amazing journey, and this is a fantastic resource. 

 

It’s absolutely understandable that porn might feel dangerous, given the messages that you have been given over the course of your life. A lot of people struggle with these same fears and you certainly aren’t alone in wondering. There is a lot of debate around the idea of porn addiction and the damage that it can do to relationships.

The simple answer is NO, porn is not ALWAYS addictive and does NOT always ruin marriages.

Can it be damaging? Absolutely. But so can many other things that create distance from your partner (like working too much). When I was working with couples in therapy, I would often recommend that thet watch porn together or read erotica, as a way to increase desire and intimacy. It can be a very sexy, hot experience to get turned on together and also can spark conversation about your desires. I would encourage you to keep this in mind when exploring what videos you might be interested in. Do it as a couple! Ask your partner what they like, and use porn as an avenue to exploring fantasy. 

 

I hope this is helpful for you, and that you continue to grow and explore as a sexual being!
