Disclosing your porn addiction to your partner, as well as trusted family members and friends (while it may be difficult), can be a great starting point in addressing a behavior addiction you want to change—particularly if it affects areas of their welfare. You could be surprised to learn that your partner can provide help and support and that others have faced similar challenges, telling you that what you are going through isn't unusual or shameful. Couples can achieve even healthier, stronger sex lives with the correct guidance: Porn use has been associated with more benefits than negative impacts in recent studies, notably more sexual exploration, better sexual communication, and overall comfort with sex.
