Answer 3

Not necessarily. Porn sites, like any other sites on the web, can be used to maliciously attack the viewing computer but this isn't because it is a "porn" site. There are plenty of non-porn sites that can work to exploit your system. For example, the crack ware or serial number websites are another genre that hackers tend to favor.

If you keep your system protected (anti-virus, spyware, adware, malware) with the appropriate tools and only install/execute applications from trusted/reputable sources, you generally shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Answer 4

It's perfectly natural. No it will not ruin the relationship unless: A)You obsess about your partner looking at porn. B)One person would choose porn over spending time with/having an "intimate" time with the other. Maybe you should talk to your partner about it, or check out the porn world to see what it is like/what you like. Maybe you and your partner could do that together if you are comfortable with it.

Answer 5

Yes. Most porn sites host all kinds of malware. These include spyware, adware, and virus'. You won't realize they are being downloaded to your PC because your busy wanking. In the background this stuff is burying itself in your hard drive. After a while there will be so many processes running in the background that all your system resources will be tied up making regular computing seem slow, even when not online.
