Porn may be an effective sexual health tool

Some sexual experts claim men to be masturbating upwards of 500 percent more than they would if Internet pornography was not so prevalent.

The problem arises when men age and believe they can still perform sexually as they could as a twenty-something. The primary issue is that as men age, the duration between erections increases as well.

Another issue is that as men increase their porn watching habits, the readily available stimulation increases so much that sexual activity with a partner may not seem as interesting.

Additionally, some men wear themselves out from masturbating too frequently and are less likely to become aroused when with a partner.

However, masturbation should not be frowned upon or banned by any means. The act of masturbating is healthy and individuals in healthy relationships often masturbate more frequently than those who are not. The key is to find a healthy medium where masturbation will not interfere with sexual activity or deplete the ability to perform.

Porn can help both men and women explore certain fantasies as well. It is not unhealthy to have sexual fantasies, and pornography can help singles or couples artificially engage in these fantasies.

Some women believe that because a man is watching a certain kind of porn that he truly wants that activity. While that is sometimes the case, some men just like the visual stimulation and use it to their advantage.

Relationship experts suggest discussing and even using porn as a tool for a happy and healthy sex life.

Doing this may even unleash similar sexual fantasies that neither partner wanted to discuss prior to the use of porn, and it can result in a more fun, happy, and sexually fulfilled experience.
