Over the years, I have worked with couples struggling with the effects of one or both parties getting entrapped in sexual behaviors and porn usage that they could not easily stop and which ultimately hurt the relationship. Wow. Now we have brain scans that show us what is going on. Hopefully, these scans will help us help those find a way out of the entrapment. When someone uses porn compulsively, their brain has the same activity or response as someone addicted to alcohol or drugs. Get details of this study and more really good information at Yourbrainonporn.com. A Very good resource for anyone who wishes to understand how pornography usage can become a problem. The original research is included in a documentary on pornography called Porn on the Brain (Warning: Film contains some very graphic scenes), which aired September 30, 2013. This UK documentary explores children's exposure to explicit and hard-core porn on the internet. A must watch for parents. Note: It is not easy to watch.
Keeping the love alive over time. Ester has some interesting things to say about this. Happiness, security and and sexual spark in a long term relationship are something we can actually attain.
"I feel so special when you take time from your busy day to message me a sweet little note, then I know I am on your mind. I feel so safe when you hold me in your arms and tell me you love me and I am your world, I know you will protect me until the end of time. I feel so blessed to have you in my life, being loved by you makes my world a more beautiful place."~Karen Kostyla http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/can-porn-cause-erectile-dysfunction-pt-1 This is a good and interesting series worth looking at if porn is causing problems in your relationship. Psychology Today has a good summary of this information as well. Follow the thread to get the details. Another helpful article I found by an Marriage and Family Therapist. Therapists who can help:
