Pornography is no longer a sexual substitution for lonely men who are experiencing sexual dry spells in-between breakups as it was 2-3 decades ago.
Porn has now become a complete replacement for relationships in many men's lives who are addicts. There are millions upon millions of men around the world who are virgins in their 30s which is unprecedented and has never occurred at any time throughout human history– and these men are addicted to porn.
I'm often asked if all people should swear off porn at all times. People wonder if I would make an "exception" that people can watch porn under more unique circumstances.
What if the two are watching it together? What if it's not getting in the way of intimacy between the couple and is instead used in a "moderately healthy" way where it doesn't interfere with the relationship?
I do not believe it's possible for a couples to delve into pornography use and still keep their relationships on solid ground.
