Thanks for sharing this! I read it, and I liked it. I think it's good to have women AND men explain how porn affects your life.
I read she got a lot of backlash because of the fact that she is a woman, and that it's the father's job to talk to his sons about this. I don't consider that to be necessarily true, but I do believe that every situation is different. I think that, should my mother have mustered up the courage to talk to me about porn, I would have ignored it. Why? Because she's a bit of a boring person (in my point of view). I would have dismissed it. If my dad had talked to me however about what women really like, it would have gotten a bigger response from me, I think.
I'm just trying to say that every situation is different.
But I do think that should we make a compilation of quotes from partners of porn addicts explaining in one sentence or two how it affected their (sex) life, that it can make a profound difference for some porn addicts. Thoughts?

Thanks Gracie, I didn't think to post it there till you said. Bail-Hope that sounds like a great idea. But it would not be limited to our sex lives. This takes so much more from us than just that. It would also be really hard to capture it is short sentences. But hey I am up for the challenge.

in one or two sentences... ? I'll try:
P slowly took away all the intimacy and changed me into a shadow of the person I used to be. It robbed us from most of the important things, that two people in a relationship should have, without us knowing what happened or why it happened.

I want to go back and talk about your original post. My significant other and I are both divorced and he has a 13 year old son (that he gets every other weekend )who is a gamer and is constantly on his computer or his iPhone. After I learned about my SO addiction I asked him about what kind of restrictions he has for his son to make sure his son isn't experiencing the same thing. And how that would make him feel. We have talked about this for two months and as of to date he has done nothing to follow up and or restrict what his son has access to. I told him this makes me feel like he doesn't take it all that seriously. & I asked him if he wanted his son to experience the developmental and physical repercussions he has.. he says no of course.. but does nothing. I don't get it. He is otherwise a very concerned and protective parent
