Viewing porn does not have a negative impact on relationships

Ah, I see. I thought that my argument was clear, but I will clarify further. (I have noticed as well that you double space to make your thoughts easier on the eyes. I will do so as well) With the parameters I put in place (on the subject of how I phrased my question) I did indeed mean that viewing porn "does" not have a negative effect. I will give you an example; you have actually provided me with one: Example 1: My partner likes to watch porn, but I am against it. Therefore (as my opponent has claimed), the porn has a negative impact on my relationship because it makes me dislike my partner. I would discredit this statement, saying that this hypothetical relationship was not "stable" in the first place, and I am arguing that porn does not have a negative effect on stable relationships, as I stated in my opening paragraph. All couples disagree. One may think abortion is wrong, the other may believe in free choice. One may think that speed bumps are stupid and annoying and the other may think that they save lives. But, for either one of them to begin to dislike the other because they think differently would be a sign of an unhealthy relationship, one based on insecurities. I mentioned this possibility in my opening argument. A relationship wherein it is o.k. to try and control your partner's actions to tailor to your beliefs is not stable. A stable relationship is accepting, and if some things cannot be accepted (yes, I understand there are limits sometimes) there can be discussions and compromises. My opponent, on the other hand, thinks that just because one person in the relationship does not like porn they are "entitled to disliking their partner viewing porn". If I am against eating meat am I "entitled" to dislike my partner eating meat? Is that really my decision? If I believed that converting my partner to my own vegetarian ways was important enough to get into squabbles and allow a "negative impact" on our relationship, friends of mine would contest that I must not love my partner very much. In other words I must be very insecure if I need to agree or even comment on everything my partner does (and if you have moved to one of the most private things they will do - porn - then you must mean everything). The "impact" does not come from the porn itself. It comes from an already unstable relationship turning sour over any disagreement, in this case porn. In this example, I hope I have demonstrated my argument. I would like to prove that porn never DIRECTLY (forgive my use of capitols) has an negative impact on relationships, with the parameters I have stated in my opening argument. If my opponent can provide even just one example I cannot account for (while proving that it is plausible), they will have succeeded. If not, I must assume that none exist, and I have succeeded. It is good to know that my opponent agrees that, ideally, porn should not cause a negative impact on relationships. ("I think my opponent believes that the viewing of porn SHOULD not have a negative effect. Which I would agree with for the most part"). But they think that reality is different; no matter the good intentions, porn still ruins relationships. I would like to show my opponent that people blame their crumbling connections on porn (because it is a convenient scapegoat) when the problem always lay in the cracks in the foundation. If you still do not understand, please feel free to post questions about what I an asking for in the comment box so you don't have to waste another argument. If you do understand, then I will eagerly wait to see what scenarios you dredge up!
