Porn is a part of daily life in Denmark, and most people do not spend much time thinking about it, one way or the other. 

An Epinion study conducted for DR3 asked Danes whether they had positive or negative feelings about porn, and fully one half said that they had no opinion whatsoever.

“It's nothing special anymore,” sexologist Sara Skaarup told Metroxpress.

Skaarup said that even though porn has become prevalent, it can still create conflicts in relationships.

“A woman can feel left out when her man watches porn,” said Skaarup.

“Even if it is something that a couple choose to share, the woman cannot help but compare herself to the porn actress. Generally, men are therefore more tolerant of porn.”
