Summary

If we’re getting real with each other, we’ve probably all had a conversation about pornography in our relationships.

Pornography is completely normalized, accepted, and expected as something that men (and women) do to cope, relieve stress, or otherwise find a release.

But here’s the thing: how do we know when it’s an addiction vs. just watching pornography for other reasons?
