It is impermissible to watch pornographic films under the pretext of marital intimacy, because unlawful means do not lead to lawful ends. These films corrupt hearts and souls, and lead to a loss of marital enjoyment due to habituating oneself to repulsive scenes, and they result in losing admiration for one's wife. It is recommended to continue with medical treatment and to be open with one's wife. It may also be beneficial to consult psychological and family experts to achieve sound marital relations.
