The pros and cons of pornography

Easily accessible on the Internet, pornography is now consumed on a large scale.
Explanations and reflections on the benefits and harms of this consumption.

Pornography at your fingertips

Pornography is ubiquitous in society and leaves almost no one indifferent. The internet has made it very easy for everyone to access free, anonymous, one-click porn content from the comfort of their own home. Every second, tens of thousands of people watch it around the world, men, women, teenagers and unfortunately even children.

The term “pornography” comes from the Greek pornê which means “prostitute”. Pornography aims for sexual arousal by exposing close-ups of genitals in action. Most porn movies are made by men for men. They generally feature submissive women who must satisfy the sexual needs of dominant men. In these movies, men can have sex for hours without taking a break. They always have a strong erection and have a manly member of a size often well above the average according to GuruSex.

In women, they are presented with an insatiable sexual appetite and have a dream body made by their cosmetic surgeon. They reach orgasm with disconcerting ease many times during each sexual encounter. They never have pain and accept everything that is done to them without flinching. Quite the opposite of reality!

The benefits of pornography

If pornography is mostly devoid of affection, tenderness, sensuality and knowing glances, it is centered on the performance of the actors, the intensity, the search for thrills without limits and the race for orgasms. These films for informed adults, which are far from presenting a healthy image of male/female relationships (in the case of a heterosexual relationship), make it possible to stage fantasies of all kinds (three-way sex, group sex, domination/submission, sex in a public place, etc.) Pornography can sometimes be used to increase sexual desire, heighten arousal, develop the imagination and find sexual fantasies. It can also sometimes be used to show how to perform certain sexual activities such as fellatio and the use of different sexual positions.

As a couple, it can add spice to sexual relations and help to express our desires to the other and to discuss their own. If your partner consumes pornography and you don’t understand why, you can ask him what he likes about these films and even suggest that he watch them together from time to time. If you have fears or questions, do not hesitate to talk about them while remaining open and non-judgmental. If you don’t want to watch it, it’s important to respect yourself and not do it just so as not to displease your partner.

When pornography invades our lives

The pornography industry, queen of the Internet, affects everyone and is accessible 24/7. In short, it never lets us down and is not about to disappear since it never stops to gain popularity.
Some people like to consume it from time to time without it causing a problem in their life. On the other hand, heavy consumption of pornography can lead to great suffering for oneself, one’s couple, one’s professional, family and social life. Pornography can become a real drug that you can’t do without and can cause conflicts in the couple. When we prefer to masturbate to pornography instead of having sex with our partner or going out to see friends, it’s a sign that there is a problem. When we feel disgust, shame, guilt, helplessness after watching pornography, it’s time to take a moment to question our consumption and seek help if we can’t. to decrease or stop.

More and more men suffer from sexual disorders due to excessive consumption of pornography. For example, performance anxiety, erectile dysfunction, lack of sexual desire, premature ejaculation or, on the contrary, difficulty ejaculating with a partner can occur. Desensitization of the penis and pain in the penis, fear of intimacy, disinterest in sex with a partner and several other problems can be caused by too much consumption of pornography. In women, no sexual disorder has been reported, but still few studies have been done on consumers.
In addition, pornography conveys many harmful stereotypes towards LGBTQIA+ communities, in addition to propagating racist dynamics. In short: stay critical! Happy
Indeed, there are more and more so-called ethical or feminist pornographic platforms and productions that not only place great emphasis on pleasure and consent, but also promise to pay actors and actresses appropriately and verify that they have the legal age to have filmed sexual intercourse.
All in all, there’s nothing wrong with watching porn from time to time as long as you keep in mind that like with alcohol, moderation tastes much better! Plus, sex in real life will always be more arousing and authentic than porn…
