Porn is widely available on the internet and anybody with a device and internet can access pornography at no cost, to everyone with no real checks on age or maturity. Pornography has the most damaging effect on younger viewers especially teenagers. Here are some reasons why watching porn is bad.

Porn could affect your sex life because your brain has been used to viewing this content and afterward you masturbate and ejaculate or satisfy yourself, this could make real-life sex unfulfilling for you. Because you only get satisfied through porn, which could cause erectile dysfunction in the long run because anything other than porn is not exciting enough.

2. Porn could cause you to be violent because most times porn shows men to be dominating or mistreating women or even initiating sexual contact without consent which could make you think that is how it ought to be in real life.

3. Porn is bad especially if constantly viewed at a young age, the ideal age for view porn is when you are sexually active just to learn new tricks and styles, not for the purpose of sexual satisfaction

4. Teenagers who watch porn at a young age could have damaging effects on their future relationships and how they see sex

5. Watching too much porn could negatively affect your sex life because it could set unrealistic expectations about sex behaviors, in pornography, the actors are acting and most times are under the influence of drugs, with edited scripts which is the opposite of real-life sex. but in real life, this is not how people act during sex, in real life relationship it is about two people having a good time and enjoying themselves

Reasons Why Watching Porn Could be Good

It Prepares You for Sex

If you are the type that struggles with getting turned on, no matter how your partner touches your body, it is not always fully in the mood for fun, like your erection is not fully hard, or lack vagina wetness. Then the stimulating and erotic sexual content will get the job done.

Celibacy

Celibacy is a period in which you want to avoid sexual intercourse, this could be due to a long-distance relationship or just a personal decision, then sexual content will be of help, it will keep you updated and help you deal with horniness, especially if you were previously sexually active and your body is always asking you for sex like you are walking down the road and your dick suddenly becomes hard, that’s your body asking for it. Porn will be a great way to get the fantasy to help you go through celibacy.

Learn New Styles

Some people don’t even have experience on how to move, turn or position themselves during sex, a good way to learn this is to view sexual content, if you don’t want to get aroused while viewing it, then you can consider viewing it with friends who are open to it. You can view and laugh about the position while you display it to be sure you got it correctly.

Relieves Stress

I am sure you don’t know porn helps relieve stress right, just like swimming and exercising when you are going through much stress and pressure viewing pornographic content helps to relieve it, the body is excited, endorphins are released which produces a feeling of euphoria, this calms the nerves and if you are in an atmosphere to sleep, be sure to have a sound sleep after.

Entertainment

Entertainment
NETFLIX AND CHILL

It is a form of entertainment but for adult entertainment, especially for sexually active adults. Porno just like wrestling is an act displayed by two or more or a single actor, it has a set, a director, a producer, manager, etc. That’s why some sexual content is absurd to create thrilling and intense fun, that has you sitting at the edge of your seats, because of the use of Violence (BDSM). It’s all to keep you entertained.

what is porn addiction

Porn addiction is when you engage in sexual activity with the use of porn and you do this persistently and repetitively without leading to an actual reward or pleasure, porn becomes an addiction when you can’t control yourself or discipline yourself to stop the activity. You have work to do but you constantly would watch pornography rather than get busy with your work.

Someone who is addicted to porn keeps watching and masturbating to it despite negative consequences for your physical, mental, financial, personal wellbeing, people who are addicted to porn can spend the whole day watching and masturbating without interacting with other people. Which can really cause even more problems for such individual like decreased productivity, career loss, financial loss even mental disorders like depression, lack of socialization, dejection and rejection.

Although Porn addiction is not medically classified as an addiction or even a mental disorder, so porn addiction is not really an addiction, it is based on self-control, no part of your body is dependent on it to survive.
