*Is watching casual porn really harmful to your relationship?
Film producer/minister DeVon Franklin seems to think so and he explains why in latest book, “The Truth About Men: What Men and Women Need to Know.”
During a recent interview with Power 105.1’s “Breakfast Club”, the New York Times best-selling author compared porn to dog-food and explained why couples should refrain from watching porn.

Here’s how there conversation went (via theJasmineBrand):
“Angela Yee: I wanna ask you about pornography, ’cause you address this in the book. And you feel that pornography is harmful to relationships, and some people clearly do get addicted to porn – and that’s harmful. But, do you think that casually watching porn shouldn’t be done?
DeVon Franklin: I don’t think it should be done, ’cause in the book I have a whole thing about the one you feed. And so, within us, you have to feed the master of the dog. I call vice, dog food. I call virtue, soul food. And I would put porn in the category of dog food, because that’s what it is. It’s vice.”
They continued:
“You look at something that is not real. So it’s the equivalent of – you know, I’m a producer and I make movies. So you can look at the screen and say, ‘Wow! I wanna put on a suit and fly around the city!’ Right? And have these claws- and you can’t do it.
Charlamagne tha God: That’s right, DeVon. Tell ’em. Those big penises you see on pornos are not real, ladies! Okay?
DeVon: Right! You can’t do it! A lot of times you see these images and you say, ‘Oh, I learned some tricks.’ But what it does is it creates an unrealistic expectation of what intimacy really looks like.”
