Men are 543% more likely to look at pornography than females, and men in relationships, on average, watch it 15 minutes a day, two times a week.
So the question presents itself: if you don't think that your husband views porn, are you naive?
The Telegraph.co.uk stated that, "All men watch porn."
OK, take a breath. This doesn't make your husband a bad person and maybe (just maybe) you should stop taking it personally.
The problem is that a lot of women feel that viewing pornography is comparable to cheating.
On the other hand, many men feel pornography is just entertainment. It's an escape from reality to fantasy. Sex is a physical need and desire for men, so porn is just a way to help stimulate arousal. Some studies have shown that porn may make them feel more sexual with their wives, not less.
However, according to other numerous studies, prolonged exposure to pornography can lead to a diminished trust between couples and the belief that promiscuity is the natural state.
Research conducted on porn has found that participants exposed to pornographic material increased desire of sexual relations without emotional involvement. Furthermore, all these effects were uniform across male and female participants. This means it is not only a male issue.
So, should you talk to your spouse about your insecurities?
Having a conversation about porn can be a beneficial conversation where you discuss you sexual likes and dislikes.
