Some people completely disagree with porn, but I think personally it can be watched in a healthy way, we just need to be mindful and ethical in our consumption.
Porn can be a problem when...
• You watch it more than have sex with your partner
• You can't orgasm without porn
• You begin to have unrealistic standards for sex and your partners
• You begin to need more and more extreme sexual acts to orgasm
• You start to become violent or disrespectful towards women
Porn doesn't need to be addictive or harmful to your life, but you have to be aware of what you're watching and how often. Watching porn all the time can mean it becomes more difficult to orgasm or even enjoy regular sexual situations, and just like a drug, our tollerance can go up if we start relying on porn to get us off. The mainstream porn industry does a lot of harm and many of the videos on sites like pornhub etc. are taken without consent and even worse conditions, so if you're trying to watch porn without the guilt, pay for ethical sites or reach out to individual creators and pay them.
Watching porn that relates to what you do with your partner will mean you're more easily turned on during sex with them. The more we watch things that deviate, the more difficult it can become to be aroused by our partner. A lot of people feel jealous or worried about their partner's porn habit, so make it something you do together, instead of something you do when they're not there. It will show them that it's nothing to be concerned about and it makes it something fun and sexy to do together.
Take a break and get help. If you feel like you're addicted and it's starting to warp your view of women/sex etc. then get help. Talk to a therapist or at least take a long break from porn. There's nothing to be ashamed of but it's something that can lead to an unhealthy relationship with sex if you don't deal with it.
