When is too much porn too much? Well the first thing is, the main marker's when you realise that porn starts replacing normal sex. Now, ideally the function of porn should be some kind of titillation. So if you say let's watch a movie with my partner, and let's act it out, that's great. That's a tool for your primary relationship. And if you do that, you think well, once I've had sex with my partner, porn's a bit boring, you switch it off. 'Cause the main focus should be with your partner. But with some people that gets inversed. So people are saying my partner is in the way of my porn. And that's when we know it's an addiction. So people are saying my main outlet for excitement is porn, and my partner can't live up to it. And I want to do this relationship myself and my computer, and my partner's trying to get in the way. So if anything like that happens, we know there's a problem with porn addiction.
