Or, they can and should.
- metadat 4y agoWhy does porn consumption tend to result in less sex between couples? I see three common possibilities: 1. It increases arousal, which would hopefully increase sexual desire. 2. People use it as more of a "complete solution" / substitution. 3. People use it as a tool to avoid confronting and dealing with the inevitable problems and complexities which are bound to arise in any long-term relationship. To me, pornography seems like such a poor substitute for real life connection and experiences, I've found it doesn't replace anything beyond, uh, basic "maintenance" needs. Porn is enjoyable, but pales in comparison to a real interaction with a real live person. Between this and the depressing macro-economic climate, our generation has a tough road ahead.
- firstfewshells 4y agoPorn has consistently shown to short circuit dopamine pathways in our brains. As a result, real world sex feels too vanilla and there is always a craving for something novel. Lots of men have porn induced ED.
- cplusplusfellow 4y agoPorn should be used to get ideas for what you want to do with your partner. That’s my .002.
- notinfuriated 4y ago> Porn is enjoyable, but pales in comparison to a real interaction with a real live person. I find this to be true as well, but I would wager many strongly disagree with this statement based on their own experiences.
- pengaru 4y agoI don't think it's all that complicated. Porn delivers a virtual form of variety/novelty, without the risks of real promiscuity. Going back to your long-term partner is just more of the same monotony vs. the practically infinite supply of different people on pornhub.com. relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolidge_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolidge_effect "Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time."
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoThe actual answer is in the article: porn won't say no. Everything else escalates from there.
- metadat 4y agoThis is a rather stupid and short-sighted "effect". Sex gets better and better with a partner you have a strong emotional bond with. Also, as you get more familiar with each other over time, new levels of connection unlocked through mutual trust and comfort are attainable.
- vinni2 4y ago> Porn is enjoyable, but pales in comparison to a real interaction with a real live person. No doubt real interaction is more enjoyable, but real interaction with whom and the same person again and again over years matters too...
