Porn ruins families by destroying the sense of true intimacy and acceptance between husband and wife. That, of course, will impact the children - kids learn what they see live.

Define "sense of true intimacy." It sounds to me like one of those fluid phrases that means exactly what the person using it wants it to mean.

"Define "sense of true intimacy."

When a person needs porn to get aroused rather than being aroused by the passion for their spouse, sex becomes the goal in and of itself rather than development of true intimacy.

In the minds of many, particularly women, using porn to get aroused before 'making love' is like going to someone else for foreplay, then coming back to the spouse for 'release'. There's no real love, passion and intimacy in the act.
