Does porn break up relationships?
 

I was reading yet another story about how porn is destroying relationships and causing marriages and families to split.

I feel that porn is the least of a the problems in a failed relationship...I feel the relationship was probably declining to begin with and the porn was just a part of it.

How do you feel about it? Can it be at least a part of the problem? Maybe if daddy is suddenly only interested in porn and is ignoring his family? Maybe Jimmy doesn't have lunch money this week because daddy bought 500 more cam minutes with SexyBiHottie or yet another membership to hotbimbosfuckingeveryone.com?

Is this a porn problem or the same as alcohol? Do we contribute or are we just another vice someone might take up when their own lives and/or relationships are failing?

No, relationships break up porn.

we seem to be doing just fine... 14 yrs.. no problems. She knows I like to look at women... she knows she is #1

I think its important to be open and honnest to your girl! And if that doesnt work- quit or do it when she not there!!

Porn is a scapegoat when people wont say what the real reason are.
If a guy decide to watch porn instead of fucking his wife, there is something wrong in the relationship. Its not porn that makes him NOT want to have sex with his wife.

In those scenarios, yes, it could quite possibly be a relationship killer, just like coke or any other addiction, if you let yourself become addicted. Of course, not everyone is vulnerable.

But to get directly to the topic, yep, porn breaks up relationships every day, but then, so do cars, dogs, cats and TV.

It's not too hard to believe that if some wives/girlfriends caught their husband/boyfriend looking at porn, that's the end. It's the same reversed too, just not as prevalent.

porn doesn't break up relationships .. insecurity breaks up relationships .. porn is just a catalyst .. anything that challenges the security of a relationship ie. porn , strippers .. or girls/boys that are friends that can tax the trust issues in a relationship are going to destroy it .. trust one another in every way possible and it will last forever..

porn is just a scapegoat when couples cant get along

if the relationship is fine - porn can be fun to share :-)

If i was more involved than I am today, it would. But my gf is a great girl, so she sticks up with me!!

Fact is that MONEY breaks up relationships more than anything else. Infidelity is 2nd and that has nothing to with porn since the cheater is fucking an actual person not whacking off to a video.

Does gambling break up marriages?

How about the NFL season (sunday by the TV)?

How about NBA Finals week?

Man, there's lot's of things people can blame it on.

Porn is a treat, just like all the rest. Some take too much of a good thing, and that's their trait, can't blame an industry.

Good post Sykk.

And I believe everything and everyone in this world are all a part of the problem in some way! Everyones guilty!

LOL

don't think so, unless the person is already engrossed to it that he can't even live a day without looking at masturbating bitches... but nonetheless, porn should even strengthen the relationship, shouldn't it?

It can, it depends on the women. But me & my girl love to watch porn's and have sex ;D or make porn vid's of us =P

and the more i think about it .. couples in secure monogamous relationships don't even have facebook or ratemybody and a crap accounts out there... if people have these types of accounts in a relationship they are looking for something or someone else ..the stories about "oh just looking for friends" is a load of shit .. porn is nothing more than self gratification ... a little personal time to rub one out and if you need a little out side mental stimulation ..so be it ... and if someone felt that masturbating to adult content was wrong then the truth is they are either to insecure about them selves or their relationships to begin with to be in one in the first place .. and they should seriously do some real internal searching for the true meaning to their problems..
but this is just my opinion ..

Serously though, I feel that porn - like gambling, is addictive - and can destroy relationships.

Conversely, however, it can sometimes also "add spice" to relationships in a good way.

But I have never seen a link to www.sa.org. Ever.

Practically all casinos link to GA.

Yup, we're all a bit guilty
That being said, if the foundation is already weak, all we're going to do is collapse the building a little faster.

No, i don't see why it should if everyone is mature enough

If my girl can't handle porn, then she's not my girl. I don't date women that are ashamed of their sexuality.

I think like Jake said, insecurity & the lack of trust is what is really the issue and not the porn itself.

A couple of years ago a good friend of mine caught her bf looking at porn.
At first she didn't care until she actually looked in the history & started to notice which pages & pictures he was most into.
She was petite & Japanese and he seemed to always go to blondes with big fake tits, basically girls who looked nothing like her... she said that was the part that bothered her the most about it.
When he said he would stop & she kept catching him DAILY, she left his ass.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 9 years. I don't think I could still be with him if we both weren't so open to porn, even before I got in the industry. Some couples are just so uptight these days! For fuck's sake people need to get off more! :jerkoff

well dudes can watch porn girls not
if the dude watches shes gotta accept if she watches shes a tramp then you shoudnt spend time with her hahaha

Porn is only a problem if the woman is insecure with her body and/or sexual performance. (or vice-versa if it's the woman watching porn)

OR

Porn is a problem if the man is so addicted to porn that he'd rather watch porn than have sex with his partner. (or vice versa)

Jake makes a lot of sense on this one. I'd add complete and open honesty to that. Otherwise failure due to a lack of aforementioned trust is inevitable. On the flip side you and your partner can't make each other feel shitty for being honest. Just find your solution together.
People can find any reason to get out of their relationships if they want it.

Sure it does..if you're paying more attention to anything other than your woman,she will feel neglected and jealous and lose intrest in you very fast

Going on 7+ years with my girl... honesty and trust is where it's all at...

I want my privacy and have my own interests... as does she, but having faith, respect, and trust keeps us strong.

IMHO... anytime a catalyst is blamed for a relationship problem... someone is looking for an easy out... a catalyst is just that, a starting point... bigger issues can be much easier to summarize by I left that asshole because he watched porn... or vice versa..

The problem it's just people... in any biz.

my girlfriend for 3 years and the one i feel really in love with just left me because i was doing porno site such as tgp and galleries.. prono site are time consuming and shes was kinda angry because the first thing i was doing when i woke up is drink cofee and doing my site tour routine for about 30 minutes like checking stats, checking if hosting is ok check my galleries listing etc....

Nope.

Not unless the relationship isn't worth a damn to begin with :2 cents:

Its an excuse and their reason to make a case to get rid of us. If they really care about people, more families have been broken up, ruined and people killed by booze.

Nah, that's an excuse.

I bet porn has HELPED far more relationships than it has hurt.

That's right, porn can enhance sexuality.

Remember, our customers pay for this stuff. They feel it helps them.

porn gives new sex ideas for your partner and you!!

porn rocks!! :)

I've often wondered about society's views of sexual addiction...it doesn't seem to get taken as seriously as alcohol or drug addiction...

if porn breaks up your relationship you're retarded. (talking about surfers) people working in this biz is another story.

I've seen this before... and to be honest... porn broke my girlfriend and I up the first time (Well, that was her excuse, I know there was many underlying issues)
But, now we're back together, and she likes it just as much as I do...

The way I see it is - Relax, it's just sex...
Porn can only destroy a relationship that's already on the crapper...

i've not formed much of an opinion on this. i dont think that porn can break up a marriage? i think there are other issues to deal with.

I don't think so...being able to be your true self in a relationship is freedom. It's like no worries. My honey and I love porn. I think i like it more than him (funny huh). We are like best friends. I think compatibility is one key along with respect and....

for me, it don't break up a relationship... there is no reason to do that...

What about certain types of porn?

Say the male likes to watch gay porn...could this lead to a problem? What if the female liked to watch beasty porn or barely legal gals who are dressed up to look 13? Could this cause more of a problem than standard porn?

I agree. Porn doesn't break up relationships. The relationship was doomed to begin with. People want something to blame other than themselves, so they pick excuses like porn to avoid taking responsiblity or to overlook the real problem.

LOL!! Classic Statement....
