Forty million Americans visit an Internet porn site at least once a month. The Web contains 400 million porn pages and growing. Fifty percent of divorce cases in 2002 involved porn.

In your parents’ era, porn was limited to a few Playboy magazines hidden in the basement. In the 1980s, the VHS tape enabled porn to move into the bedroom, but it was still limited by the relatively expensive cost of porn videos. With the Internet today, any fetish and perversion that you desire is abundant, often free, and just a few mouse clicks away.

So this is a problem?

Yes, according to the new book by Wendy and Larry Maltz, “The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography.” Porn may seem harmless at first, but it’s a slippery slope if you don’t keep yourself in check. According to the authors, here are some red flags that you may have a problem with pornography:

* You’ve become anti-social
* You’re lying to your partner
* You no longer find your partner attractive
* Your sex life with your partner is suffering
* Your concept of real intimacy has become warped

If your porn habit is causing you to neglect your partner sexually or emotionally, you should seek professional help with a therapist or sex counselor.
