The possible association between pornography use (PU) and adverse sexual health outcomes among men is an important issue that has been conceptualized, discussed, and substantiated with anecdotal “evidence” for decades. Only recently have researchers begun to conduct empirical studies aimed at assessing claims that frequent PU may result in sexual dysfunctions and other difficulties. Frequent PU may possibly affect men self‑esteem, state of relationship, and sexual fulfillment with the opposite sex. Men who constantly use pornographic materials reported lesser sexual satisfaction with their spouse, despite their partners’ fondness, bodily appearance, sexual curiosity, and performance. Problematic PU is habitually comorbid with masturbation addiction, men who masturbates while watching pornography might have an increased risk of sexual dysfunction.
