Today I filmed a segment at CNN on The Dr. Drew Show about how watching porn can impact a relationship which will air Sunday night May 29th.
I believe porn can be used for educational and therapeutic purposes to help couples explore sexual fantasies, reduce inhibitions, avoid boredom in the bedroom and spice up their love lives.
As an AASECT certified sex counselor, I assess clients concerns and discuss with them their personal values and morals, their sexual experiences, fantasies, boundaries and deal breakers.
I’ve helped couples to negotiate the type of porn they can both enjoy watching such as female friendly porn produced by women like Veronica Hart, Candida Royal and Nikka Noel. These movies have story lines, romance, intimacy and lead to sexual activities.
I’ve introduced couples to Sex Education videos and I’m currently producing my own series of HOW TO videos with director Mike McCormick to be distributed by Evolved. There is a need for these videos because nobody teaches you how to be more creative and playful sexually. I believe that if you play together you will stay together.
It’s a fact that watching porn can increase sex drive and arousal by producing feel-good hormones such testosterone, and serotonin. In fact, porn has been used in clinical studies on genital arousal to help women with low libido and Anorgasmia (the inability to orgasm), proving that some women get just as aroused by watching porn as men.
Dr. Drew pointed out that porn can give young people unrealistic expectations and that porn can become addicted. These are both true, which is why we need to continue educating people about the difference between entertainment and reality as well as healthy and unhealthy sexuality.
