Is pornography beneficial or detrimental to a relationship?

In your personal experience, when in a long term relationship with another person, has pornography been mostly beneficial or mostly detrimental to its well being? I'm curious to see what your veiws/attitude towards pornography is, and though I understand that pornography's effect depends largely on the two people involved, I'm kust simply wondering how it has affected your personal relationships past and present.

 

Like anything sexual, pornography is powerful. It can be used for good or ill. In my experience, it's been both in different relationships. For the one I'm in, it's not good. So, I stay away.

If it's part of the fun and festivities and kept in the proper focus, I say go for it. But if it gets unhealthy or isn't enjoyed by both partners then it's not important enough to keep it around.

 

Totally depends on the people involved....some hat it ...some love it

 

i don't get why you'd want to have it on while you were having sex (my bf has suggested this) i mean, why look at other people having sex when there's a beautiful naked man / woman right in front of you? he said something about it adding energy or something. don't get it, personally, and was kinda offended.

 

Grr.
Only make each thread once. Pick one forum, stick to it.
This question was stupid and annoying enough once.
I was going to report you, cause I thought you made this after the other one died, but I checked your previous posts, and since you made them on the same day, I'll play nice.

Anyways, porno has NO effect on "a relationship". The people in the relationship are the ones reacting to the porn - so it is completely dependent on whose relationship it is, and the specific relationship it is.

Personally, porn/my addiction to it has had no to little effect on my relationship. Any effect could only have been beneficial - but even if this is so, again, it wasn't much.

 

I think porn is okay in a relationship if you're both okay with it, I mean sometimes porn even gets things going between you and your partner if you're both sorta into watching it. I think though it really depends on the persons involved. But if you have an addiction to porn that could hurt a relationship by setting unrealistic standards for the sexual expeirence. Just my opinion.
