So a woman will say that seeing something isn't stimulating.

A man may read that mushy romantic novel and not be stimulated.

So...If we can understand where each one is coming from then it can help in having a more balanced and successful relationship.

We have to remember we can't turn our lady into a porn star and ladies we can't turn our man into the hunky, mushy romatic man in the romance novels.
Exactly. Both sexes need to remember that each is an IDEAL version, a fantasy version and not the real thing.

This is the gist of understanding the difference between correlation and causation.
To me that was a very insightful comment. The underlying problems in the marriage may be the reason, not the porn.
It is similar to when I was in the Army. Many Soldiers blamed the Army for their marriages. I used to tell them that what the Army do is bring up the issues the marriage may have and it only reflects how solid the marriage is, take care.

What was the question again? I get so sidetracked sometimes....
Great comment. I tried to rep you but I suppose I may have before so I could not again. At least here it is, take care.

unless its a bonafide obsession (which interferes with work, home, family time, your real sex life, etc etc), no, watching porn (in and of itself) does not cause divorce. how ridiculous is that?

divorce is caused by a multitude of varying factors, and more often than not BOTH parties are to blame, or at least hold some accountability for.

If a woman gets married to a man, she should know him well enough to know if he likes porn or not. If two people love each other, they should be able to discuss something like this.

I don't really think watching porn is an issue unless the man chooses to masturbate over intimacy with his significant other. I've never tried the whole "watching porn with my partner to get aroused" thing but I wouldn't be opposed to it. It doesn't mean we're not attracted to each other anymore, just that we'd like to spice things up.

I have said it a hundred times, and will continue to say it again, and again.
This is more of a... "couple preference." Some are into it, and some are not. It does not make for a boring, dull, marriage if you do not include porn into it.
Some couples watch it together to inhance their sex life, while others choose to allow their So to have it in their lives, so they can have a "more exciting" sex life. Thats fine..to each their own, right?
How sad that a couple cannot keep it real between the two of them, and feel the need to include porn, to keep the excitement going in the bedroom.

Meh, I don't think porn leads to divorce. It might be blamed for the divorce, but it's not the root cause. Something is already wrong with the marriage that isn't being addressed if your man needs to masturbate to porn instead of having sex with you. Whether he's lost interest in her or just loves the variety of being visually stimulated, he's not getting all of his needs fulfilled. That's not to say it's the wife's fault entirely. Some people either repress their true desires or discover them later on. Everything in moderation.

That's some jedi mind spin there. Start off with "couple preference" live and let live angle, then end with the implication that those who enjoy porn must have a boring relationship without it. Amusing

I don't watch porn (I'm kind of a prude), but I don't think it leads to divorce
