High exposure to watching porn (excludes reading) can often result in lower responsiveness in a man's sexual arousal and a need for more hardcare video for him to become sexually responsive with his partner.

The bottom line: Too much of a good thing, becomes problematic in most cases. Porn overload can cause some men to no longer have the same sexual response with their partner prior to the time before the partner got heavily into watching it.  Watching porn with the partner may help stimulate things but if that is the only way the man can get aroused, the other partner will find it difficult to accept and understand.
