Spring Break
Abstract:
To some people, porn can be more of a drug than they realize. To my ex-boyfriend, this was an addiction beyond words.
At the beginning of our relationship, I never expected a thing. He was a gentleman, very respectable. Everything was centered on me and I never touched a door handle. However, every relationship starts out like this fairy tale and usually ends up disappointing you. It's perfect, fake and the truth is hidden between the lines....

Interesting situation you were in, but you didn't at all talk about statistics or the fact that a porn addiction (and the unrealistic sexual expectations that go along with it) is also correlated with the decreased ability for people to achieve sexual arousal in real, physical scenarios. I'm glad you mentioned that there is a line - that pornography can actually be beneficial in certain relationships, but overkill can have negative, harmful effects.
What I think is the biggest leap in this article is talking about pornography addictions and how it can damage a relationship or render people incapable of real intimacy and commitment (or perhaps they turn to it because of those issues in the first place) but then you say that people should be more cautious before moving in with someone else. I don't think that has much to do with the rest of what you're writing about, but it could be a whole different column.
