Why do men watch porn. My husband sneaks around and watches porn and he know it is something that I dont like at all. But the crazy thing about it all is that he says that "Sex is over rated". How does that make any since. And why is it that no matter how much I ask him not to do this he keeps doing it anyway.

Do you know how much time he is spending on porn? Daily? Weekly?

The problem with frequent viewing is that repeated exposure causes a change in brain chemistry. Soon the "normal" level of porn doesn't generate the same "high" and the behavior escalates. If your husband is compulsively viewing porn, he may fall into the category of sexual addiction. Patrick Carnes has written some excellent books, also Everyman's Battle is good to help understand the attraction and addiction of porn. Unfortunately I've learned quite a lot about it. My H was addicted to porn for years. He has had counseling, attends an SLA group and also a 12 step Christian group called Celebrate Recovery. This is a very hard addiction to break. My psychologist says it is harder to give up thatn crack cocaine. The physical changes in brain chemistry are very real. Withdrawal from porn is very dificult for most men.
