• While this approach may seem logical, it rarely increases sexual/relationship satisfaction.
• How do we hold both partners while they struggle to define their behavior, contract, and emotions?
• This talk examines a different approach to intrapsychic conflict and power struggles over porn use.
• We’ll explore underlying rela-tional issues, including: Is conflict about pornography a way to avoid confronting defi-cits in the sexual (or non-sexual) relationship?
