The Impact of Pornography on Relationships

Pornography significantly affects intimate relationships, often leading to feelings of competition and inadequacy among partners. Women may feel rejected or that they are not enough when their partners engage with pornography, which can foster resentment and hurt. Many men struggle with feelings of shame and guilt associated with their addiction while simultaneously failing to communicate these struggles to their partners. This dynamic creates a rift in communication and intimacy, highlighting the need for couples to address the underlying issues related to pornography consumption.
