Abstract
In this paper the clinical significance for Asian American women whose spouses use pornography is explored. First, the impact of pornography on male and female sexuality in general is described. Second, the direct and indirect impact of the use of pornography on all couple relationships is examined. The last section focuses on the oppressive impact of traditional, patriarchal norms of the Asian culture on Asian American women, including clinical observations of the impact when their partners use pornography.
