The pressing issue with pornography is not that it can be vile, sexist and objectify women. It's not just about subjecting the performers to subhuman conditions on and off camera, sometimes exposing them to potentially fatal conditions. It's not even that it is responsible for lost jobs and reduced productivity. And even though it is the single most potent reason behind the erosion of self-worth, the even bigger threat, the biggest, in fact, is that consuming pornography is covertly addictive and can act as a wedge in an otherwise happy, real-life intimate relationship.

This subtle nature of the addiction results in two out of three men in the U.S. watching porn at least once a month. That number grows with time. One out of every five men above the age of 18, believes he is addicted to porn. 63% of men, and 30% of women below 30 watch porn several times a week. 1 out of 5 mobile Google searches is for pornographic material. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Smokers, alcoholics, and gamblers typically realize they have an addiction. People who watch porn, start off doing it for fun, then continue doing it without understanding why - they don't believe they are addicted.

The main aim of this book is to present couples with up-to-date research and statistics on pornography. It can help couples, or parents know the facts.
