Isn’t porn harmless? If you think your use of porn isn’t hurting anybody, think again. Porn rewires your brain and can affect your relationships in the long term, says relationship expert Sheila Wray Gregoire. Eventually, you become aroused by an image, not your spouse.
Most psychiatric associations do not recognize porn addiction as an official mental health problem, but they admit that experiencing an uncontrollable need to view porn can cause us problems and change our behaviour. Addiction is defined as the compulsive need for, and use of, a habit-forming substance by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information USA.
