In terms of this thread, and considerations of sin aside, there is a difference between the occasional use of porn in the circumstances you mention and the situation described in the article: porn addiction so severe that it is shutting out an acceptable sexual relationship in the marriage.

An addiction (as distinct from infrequent curiosity about non-violent images of adults) is a perceived “need” to use porn at a frequency that interferes with daily living, renders the user less than acceptably available to the spouse and/or children, or impairs a person’s ability to perform at work, either by “using” at work, or by staying up late to use, and then being physically impaired at work the next day.

The second issue that needs to be underlined on this thread is whether a spouse’s sexual behavior, or lack thereof, is responsible for a porn addiction. While a spouse’s behavior may trigger a slide into the behavior, the responsibility for using porn lies entirely with the user.

Well I’ll tell anyone tired of hearing it

I love women......always have....they are simply delicious in every way

They make my world go round and have since grade school in the 60s
..
I cut a long and colorful graze of wild feline oats once upon a time....sinfully admittedly...but have been in Christian matrimony for a long time now with one woman since my late 30s and lucky for me dont suffer any of the lamentations described on this thread

I pity those missing out or who lost their mate

And yes porn can most definitely be an obsession

A destructive one.....

Its obviously wrong....hard to say why so many men and a fair number of women like it

Its like cocaine...best avoided

I’m southern.....I think women here....especially like old school... my mothers generation

Understood women needed to stay feminine and tend to their mans needs...even if they do have a headache

Newer women compete with men and wouldnt dare even metaphorically submit

Its complicated I reckon

Been faithful to only one kitty for nearly 20 years now....never thought was possible but with her its easy

I wish the same for all

Even butthead Breck girl

Nothing approaches the comfort and joy.....and yes....pleasure......of a virtuous and loyal female companion
