I just found out that my husband is interested in pornography on the Internet. It has affected our sex life.
Porn is neither healthy or unhealthy.
It is simply erotic, sexually explicit material that some people find sexually arousing. Some people use it as a form of stimulation when they do not have a sexual outlet or fear sexual intercourse because of disease. Others use it as an adjunct to sexual play with their mate. Alcohol, for example, is not unhealthy in and of itself. However, compulsive use of alcohol is unhealthy.
