Studies have shown that internet pornography addiction shares the same basic mechanisms and addiction framework as substance and behavioral addiction (Love, Laier, Brand, Hatch and Hajela 2015). The issue of addiction will be explored from a neurological and psychological perspective. Viewing internet pornography also changes the individual in many ways, including their desires and personality. How relationships are affected by pornography use will be explored from the aspects of marriage and the phenomenon of “hook ups.” The partners of those who view pornography are also impacted, so their perspective is included in the discussion of relationships. The concluding discussion will include both the answer to the proposed question and suggested directions for future
