You are right that no spouse would want to try and emulate what sex workers do in porn films. I was reading one man’s comments on his experience with porn. He said it made him more aggressive. As he watched more “simulated” rapes he began to emulate that violence in bed with his spouse. He realized that he no longer was involved in consentual love with his wife. He was raping her, not loving her. Porn is vampiric: it leeches the love, tenderness, and devotion, out of a relationship. All parties are harmed. Thankfully, a person can recover from porn addiction. Discovering or re-establishing healthy loving relationships will cause PTSD to wither. By embracing life and nourishing relationships the porn can be defeated. Semper Pax, Dr. Z Hi Becky, Thank you for your comment.

Great post. I am left with the thought that even though one is stricken with PTSD, and the PTSD personality wants the sufferer to be alone, the natural and true desire of the human being is to be loved by another human being. Porn quickly destroys the ability of real men to love real women, and vice versa I suppose. No woman could live up to what is portrayed on the porn screen (nor should she want to!). Porn is a travesty of our society, sucking the very life and love out of the people who have fallen prey to it's lure, as well as the people who participate in it's production. Wow Dr. Z. Great post.
