"Teenagers as young as 13 regularly watch it, and for millions of adults it is their guilty pleasure.
Pornography offers men and women alike a chance to explore their sexual fantasies.
But while X-rated images and films can help boost your libido, and many report it improves relationships, there is another side affecting your health.

Teenagers as young as 13 are now believed to regularly watch pornography. But a slew of studies show regularly consumption may actually re-wire the brain
Medical Daily reports.
THE MORE PORN YOU WATCH, THE MORE YOU NEED
Both having sex and watching porn causes dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for reward and pleasure, to be released.
But repeatedly causing this surge in dopamine – by regularly watching pornography – means the brain become desensitised to its effects.
A study published in JAMA Psychiatry in 2014 found regularly viewing pornography seemed to dull the response to sexual stimulation over time.
This means the brain needs more dopamine in order to feel the same ‘high’, which causes a person to watch more porn, German researchers found.
And a 2011 study, published in Psychology Today, found that these dopamine spikes mean porn-users start needing increasingly extreme experiences to become sexually aroused.
After being exposed to so many lurid images in films, men have become de-sensitised and are increasingly unable to become excited by ordinary sexual encounters.
Pornography is creating a generation of young men who are hopeless in the bedroom, the report concluded.
PORN SHRINKS THE BRAIN
Men who watch pornography may be shrinking their brains, the German researchers described above discovered.
The striatum area of the brain, linked with the motivation and reward response, shrank in size the more porn a person viewed.
