Sutton - My Husband Has a Porn Addiction: What to Do When Your Husband is Addicted to Porn

So, your husband is into pornography. He watches graphic sexual videos, and is not content with the displays of affection seen in simple romance films. Instead, he opts for the explicit images of porn. Now, youre left wondering: Is my husband addicted? Well, this depends on the mitigating circumstances, and has to be taken on a case by case basis. Nevertheless, regardless of whether or not your husband can be said to have an addiction, pornography can have a harmful impact on your relationship, so its important to tackle this head on.

Studies have proven that one of the reasons men divorce their wives is because of sexual dissatisfaction. The ideal case is that couples should stay faithful to one another; that once theyre married, they should experience a monogamous relationship. Unless youre a lifestyle polygamist, both you and your husband have agreed to adhere to this monogamous relationship.

Most mature men honor this monogamous relationship because theyre aware of the various advantages that they can reap the love and care of their wives; the respect and love of their children; and the health benefits that come with having one sexual partner. Despite this, some males, however, are more inclined to need visual stimulation before they can perform sexually.

The majority of men have more sexual needs than women. Most women can go without sex for a couple of days, but many men cannot. If they arent able to have sexual encounters or masturbate within a number of days, they will experience nocturnal emissions or wet dreams. The physiology of their body makes this emission necessary to release the accumulated seminal fluid in their urethra. Men usually experience heaviness or pain in the hypogastric or lower abdominal area when theyre not able to ejaculate for long periods of time. Hence, they need to have sexual release regularly.

This can be attributed to the males physiological make-up. This especially applies to young males from adolescence up to about 40 years of age. As men grow older, the concentration of the male hormone responsible for normal male sexual behavior, testosterone, starts to decrease until, at the age of around 80, the sexual drive will diminish significantly.

Weve deviated into biology a bit. You may think that this has nothing to do with your husbands propensity for pornography, but it does almost certainly have some bearing on your dilemma. Although men are more easily excited than women, studies have proven that most men have the tendency to search for excitement in their sexual lives. Your husband could be one among the majority. With explicit content readily available through the Internet at a click of the mouse these days, your husband can easily fall prey to the harmful claws of porn addiction. Watching porn to the point of addiction does not promote a healthy sexual relationship, and this is what we hope will be avoided.

A number of women consider their husbands porn-watching as some sort of infidelity. In addition, almost all religions consider pornography, especially porn addiction, as sinful and degrading. Thats an extreme view because, as previously mentioned, men need more sexual excitability or stimulus to sustain their interest, which is ultimately tied back into their physiological makeup. Whatever your personal beliefs are, youll have to come to terms with this fact in one way or another.

Nevertheless, as his partner, you may be negatively affected by his pornography habits or addiction whether emotionally or sexually and therefore you may decide to broach the subject with him, and if its out of control, to help slowly wean him off of hardcore porn so that you can have a normal and healthy sexual and emotional bond. Watching porn often will, eventually, turn him into an addict, so its best to curb the habit early, or avoid it altogether.

This book is designed to help you figure out whether your husband is an addict or not, and the effects this might have, and most importantly, how you can deal with this problem and get back to a healthy and satisfying relationship.
