Reason #3 – Porn as the Perfect ‘Other Woman’

Further, porn is like the perfect mistress.  She is available 24/7, comes with no strings attached, is always ready to fulfill whatever type of fantasy a man has at the moment, and won’t be stupid crazy enough to call his wife and announce that she just spent three days with him in Miami.  But that perfection makes porn quite threatening.  How does your wife compete with perfection?  Your sex life was probably not as exciting as either you or she would have liked (hence the porn use) and now, at least for a while, every time you have sex together she’s likely to feel as if you would rather be elsewhere.
