Is it true? That watching porn have its own benefits to a married couple?

In our country, it’s like there’s a thick barrier when people talking about sex. They refused to talk about it because people think it’s a sensitive and illegal topic. They don’t know that there’s nothing wrong to talk about sex.

Back then porn videos used to be restricted. But for now, thousands of porn sites and videos were all over the internet. Many married couple also used to watch porn. It can help their sexual relationship by watching these kind of videos. Like, helping them to increase their arousal or getting ideas for their future intercourse.

When you and your partner have been together for a long time, it’s normal to feel that you need to spice up your sex life. There’s a key for that, it’s watching porn.

One anonymous theAsianparent Community user asked about the role of porn in the bedroom:

Changing things up is good

The majority of the theAsianparent Community community advised giving porn a try in the bedroom. After all, mixing things up is good for your sex life. “Trying different things can keep your sex life brimming with newness,” Deephsikha P. responded. “So discuss this before actually sitting down for a kinky movie. You never know, your partner may also actually enjoy it.”

Communication is key

We can’t emphasize this point enough. Porn won’t work if you ambush your partner with a dirty video or force them to watch when they’re obviously uncomfortable. When you talk about it with your partner, however, it could enrich your relationship.

“I feel that under the right circumstances and in the proper frame of mind, watching porn together can actually do wonders for your sex life,” wrote Pavin C. “You should never feel like you’re being judged. Porn can actually help foster emotional and sexual intimacy.”

While porn can be healthy for some couples, it can be detrimental for others. You or your partner could be uncomfortable with pornography, or could even be turned off by kinky videos. wrote Jamie K. “I’d rather just not watch porn and focus on ourselves instead of needing porn to get in the mood.”

“We never watch porn together as we are a bit shy,” Diana L. wrote. “We feel it is weird to see other people having sex.” If watching porn doesn’t work for you and your partner, that’s perfectly fine. There are other ways to spice up your sex life.

There’s no harm in trying, right?

At the end of the day, it pays to be receptive to your partner’s needs. You might not end up liking it, and that’s totally fine. What matters is keeping an open mind.

“Just do it, and if it feels weird after, then stop doing it,” Irsyad I. advised. “But definitely don’t try it just once. Give it a proper chance.”

Helps the foreplay

When watching porn, it can helps the couple to speed up their foreplay. According to New Scientist, women become sexually aroused as quickly as men. Within 10 minutes, both sexes can reach their peak arousal while watching pornography.

In the study they conducted, the subject watches pornography and there temperatures increased for about 2°C.

“Men reached peak sexual arousal in 665 seconds – about 10 minutes – while women arrived at maximal arousal in 743 seconds. The difference between the times was not statistically significant, the researchers point out.”
