Pornography and Marriage

Well, we all know that men and women are built differently. I don't just mean physically but emotionally as well. In nature the lion seeks a mate, procreates and reproduces. Then he is off to another lioness to do the same thing. Men are no different in the sense that being viral and reproducing offspring in embedded in their physiological make up.
