Porn to a Normal Red-Blooded American Male is the same as Cocaine or Meth. It gets into the SAME areas of the Male Brain and causes the same end. It is DEATH for ALL Normal heterosexual relationships. I know I have been BATTLING it(porn) for years.
My sister-in-law just lost her marriage to porn. Her husband seemed incapable of telling the truth about anything.
The same thing was true of a pastor my husband used to work with, who was found to be viewing porn on the church’s computer. He was forced to resign because of several affairs but even months after he supposedly came clean with his wife she didn’t know he had had multiple affairs. She found out at a meeting she called for leaders in the church. He was seemingly incapable of telling the truth - not just about the porn stuff but about even simple things like who he had visited and what they had talked about.
I don’t know exactly what the power is, but porn does mess with a person in deep ways, and not the same as other addictions.
