Pornography, or rather the want/need/urge to watch it stems
directly from lust. Sexual lust is a problem with many many
people.
Some find that they are trapped in it; as in they cannot look at a
girl without fantasizing. Others find that it's just a minor thing
in their lives.
However, I must mention that pornography and the viewing of it does
carve the images of the such that you see into your mind. Your mind
has 2 parts: the conscious mind and the sub-conscious mind.
The conscious mind can only think/focus on 1 thing at one time. It
must have complete concentration on one thing at one time. The
conscious mind is very factual and gets its information from TEXT
and words and the such. As such, your conscious mind sets/replaces
itself by what you read, and factually get information about.
The subconscious mind however is very different. The subconscious
mind gets its information from the visual. This is a known concept
for many successful people. "If you can see it, you can have
it!".
Thus, since porn is very visual in its appearance and content, the
area of your mind that receives it is the subconscious.
Unfortunately, the sad thing here is that your subconscious is the
part of your memory/mind that is the MOST DIFFICULT to erase.
So how does this affect relationships? Well, no matter how much a
guy who likes to watch porn SAYS he is satisfied with his gf, in
his subconscious mind, there is already a battle... a comparison
with the gf and the images he's seen.
Also, the moment physical touch comes, it can trigger the
subconscious mind and the images come back to mind like a flood
(for the people who are addicted) and the relationships ends up in
nothing but sexual lust and perversion.
There is much to be said on this entire topic. I shall stop for
now, unless someone wants me to expound on this.
Cheers~!
