What are the side-effects of pornography?

porn is really bad! look at what it do to my cousin! he's only 16 and he reboot his computer like a milllion times because of the virus that porn sites and videos give you!!! EVIL. good thing i am not addicted and i am younger than my cousin lol

^ have you progressed through puberty yet, or are you just looking at this from an analytical viewpoint ?

Yes ulshadow...people are so naive.....nothing is free on the internet! "Free pron, screen savers, smiles...anyting for "free" is only that way to put dialers, and spy wear on your computer....most people are too uneducated on the subject to know it though...

umm puberty, not yet, the doctors said my body is 3 years behind then my real age... weird right

The usual side effect of porn is an erection in males, and wetness in women, women who enjoy porn that is. Men are more visual than women, or that is, they get more arroused by visual cues than women do.

To blame people's psychological problems solely on media is absolutely idiocy.
Porn has been around since before photography. Ever heard of the Kama Sutra or Indian Sex cults?

Here is a google images page of ancient indian sex temple staturary What would be considered porn today.
Its a World Heritage Site now.

Sexual repression is far more dangerous than sexual expression.
Look at catholic priests for example, celibacy rules really paid off for their victims didn't it?

How about all the teen pregnancy? Caused by porn? No.
How about rape before there were written languages..caused by porn? No.

One thing is for sure, this thread has brought out the closet perverts and sexo-phobes...which I suspect are only seperated by a very thin line.

Pornography in my oppion has a major effect on sexual trends. Talking to a lot of my friends, in middle school we all were exposed to porn by the findings of our father's porn stash. As the internet wasn't nearly as widely used 10 years ago, the videos/magazines were our only source.

As young kids, we don't really know much about sex in detail. However when you watch porn at an age where you don't know whats normal and what not, porn can heavily influence you.

For example, a kid sees a girl take a cum shot to the face, then they want to try that. Had they had not watched the porn, they might not have the need for it. This might also be the case for anal sex, bondage, lesbian sex, female ejaculation etc.

In my opinion when kids see lesbian porn and are turned on by it, they want to fufill this fantasy in real life and girls eventually get the idea that being bisexual is hot. From personal experience I know a lot of girls who do it because they think it gets them guys. Eventually it's gotten worse to where girls will do it just for fun now.

So whats wrong with having fun?
Being a lesbian is 100% proof-positive birth control for 100% of all females who engage in it.
Lesbians teens aren't as likely to get gang raped by their male peers, unlike there hetero-sexual counterparts.

People who use pornography as their guide to sexuality have one thing in common, an education system and parents too stupid and afraid to teach them the basic principles of humanity sexuality.

I'm amazed at how many people in this thread think they have any idea what goes on in anyone's bedroom. How many people assume that no variance of sexual practices would occur without porn.

Come on...wake up. Larry Flynt did not invent the orgy. Anal sex is not new.
Surely facials and bondage are as old as time.

I just hope all the sexually repressed people around here don't ever breed
, spare the world the frustration and threat such frustration poses to the innocents out there.

Eventually it's gotten worse to where girls will do it just for fun now.

Sorry, that comment made me laugh. Heaven forbid girls have sexual relations for fun.

I must note that some men enjoy treating women like objects, and some women enjoy being treated as objects -- especially in the bedroom. I imagine none of those women would be feminists. Pornography is a silly concept; you allow children to go to the zoo or a ranch which has:

1. Nude animals.
2. Animal breeding.

Is a human not an animal? Are we not special pleading? Is there a fine line between art and perversion? What is perversion -- just what we call something a majority does not appear to enjoy? Let us not forget homosexuality was (sometimes still is) considered a perversion and a mental illness. Ironically, homosexuality was decided not to be a mental illness by a VOTE.

Where is the obejctivity? What is good and evil, right and wrong, normal and abnormal, healthy and illness decided by popular opinion? looks around. Does not the bible itself describe sex scenes, and ancient biblical paintings represent God naked?

Pornograph does not ursurp freewill, it does not force one to watch it -- addicts can even part themselves from nicotine. Perhaps if individuals have marriage problems because of pornography, then it wasn't a good marriage to start with.

Statistics are a bit funny too. 40ish percent of mass murderers watch porn before they kill. Noting the flip side, 60ish percent of mass murderers do not watch porn before they kill. Oh dear, now not watching porn has some safety concerns.

rambles on

Wow, it's late.

One side effect of porn on me is new ideas in the bedroom :-P

There's nothing wrong with having that kind of fun, unless you have any type of basic morals. I'm not gonna get biblical on you or anything, but ever met a bisexual girl that wasn't a slut? Incase you don't already know, the majority of strippers and pornstars are bisexual.

And what makes a lesbian less likely to get raped? If a rapist is going to "rape" someone he's not going to discriminate on the victim's sexual preference -- like he gives a damn what they want in the first place.

Of course porn didn't invent these practices, they just make them more popular. The more you see anal sex, the more your probably likely to want to try it if you see a positive images coming from it. (obviously i stress positive since if you see a terd on a guy's dick in every porn your probably not wanting to try it). Incase you haven't already noticed, most people are sheep, if they are told what music to listen to by the radio/tv, they surely will do the same with porno.

I'm not sure if your trying to call me sexually repressed because I don't agree with your view. If so what a highly ignorant comment since you have no backing for it.

I'd like to revise your comment and put something better:
"I just hope not all whores/sluts successfully breed" , spare the future kids from the shame of having a whore for a mother.

Good riddens

agreed 100%!

What people do in their bedrooms is their business, not the goverment's or anyone else's. As long as the people involved are consenting adults, then I have no problem.

I have a much bigger problem with people trying to tell others what is right and wrong in the bedroom.

Sluts? Whores?
Now who is treating women as objects? Hmm.

I spy with my little eye a sexist!

Sounds to me like someone can't keep a woman happy and now has to label them with hate speech.
A closet rapist or pedophile perhaps. Please do keep talking...analyzing you to the bone will be a treat.

Girls who hang out in clusters of girls will not get raped by a cluster of boys. See the logic?
Heterosexual girls looking for the attention, acceptance, and understanding of boys/men, all to often find themselves date raped and/or pregnant due to their misplaced trust and desires.

I've known strippers and I've known plenty of bi-girls, and much to the frustration of sometimes myself and more so for my under-sexed friends, they were never anywhere near sluts or whores.
In fact they were usually in love with someone and holding out for that person at all costs.

Its easier to get into a Catholic girls panties than it is any of the strippers or bi-girls I knew, thats been my experience.

I think looking at porn can be addictive, When i used to watch porn i never had a need to watch a movie or look through a mag all that long but seriously you get guys you sit there for hours looking at it?!?!?!? why, Now you can say some are enjoying the beauty of the human body but come on to sit there and look through a mag back and forth Just to look at the pics? If i get an adult oriented email at work all the guys go crazy trying to see the pic or to have me forward it to them. I mean dude its' just a pic , the chick is making the same pose that most of those ladies do, Why they do have to seem so damn excited over it? I could understand if they were kids peeking at a nudy magazine , but there not there grown men who should've seen all already. I think for some porn is just another outlet to rot the brain. Like somebody who drools when the tv is on and cant' remember what the hell the show was about five mintues later.

haha the people that sit there and watch porn for hours must either have really good stanama...or they are just obsessed with it. Personally porn is an in and out experience for me...no pun intended

bordnlazy..I like what you said above! I have seen this too and often wondered if they just never get any or are they so insecure that they need everyone to think they are crazed at the sight of nudity, and thus they are "studly" "@@"...they have no idea how they make themselves look like fools.....LOL. When hubby used to work construction, he said the men would act this way every time a girl walked by...didn't even have to be a particularly pretty girl.....just a girl, and how acted like idiotic lunatics......I think these actions are more the other men....

Are you kidding me? Calling a slut what she is suddendly considered sexist? You act like there is no such thing as a "slut" -- even though this is a common phrase labeled to women who do fit the behavioral description.
There is clearly a difference between a woman and a slut -- i'm not trying to talk like a rapper.

Your conclusions are even more ridiculous. Nice logic! "If I can't please a woman" then she is labled a "slut."

Your not very good at this analyzing stuff. You seem to be acting like "Captain-Save-a-ho"

So your saying a girl/girl rape never happens in an because they hang out with only girls? Before you can doubt a female can rape another female it happens in an all woman prison all the time. Your ignoring the fact they can also get raped the normal way by a male, whether it's putting something in her drink or through brute force.

I've known strippers and I've known plenty of bi-girls, and much to the frustration of sometimes myself and more so for my under-sexed friends, they were never anywhere near sluts or whores.

I know a lot of strippers as well. Except they were all sluts and whores, and my friend is even married to one -- he allows her to get with other women for fun. Maybe you guy didn't get anything out of them from having no game.. ever thought of that? After all you did label your friends as "under sexed" which surely doesn't sound by preference.

and who said sluts can't be in love? Most of those girls are lost mentally anyways. I don't know how many of those girls get engaged to some captain-save-a-ho and still cheat on the guy, then have the relationship go sour.

Don't get me wrong i'm all about sluts, as they make the weekends a lot more fun .. but I don't wanna be marrying one or dating one. They don't take much effort to keep around anyways, not that anywould should have to date them to get the best out of them anyway. I just don't take them very seriously.

Yep, 100% sexist.
I hope you get HIV.

Un-F-ing called for.

Debate your point without wishing death on your opponent.

ie; show some class.

i think that porn can certainly cause a man to be desensitized to some things in a sexual relationship. its possible for them to fall in to the mindset of the "stud" on camera and forget all about foreplay and all that other good stuff...............and some of the videos do have alot of violence in them............and i could see if someone were predisposed to that kind of behavior it could cause serious problems. if someone has an addictive personality then certainly it would be easy to get drawn in to porn and become a sex addict.


i think like most everything else that if someone watches 20hrs of porn a week then they definitely got issues and need some help.

if someone views on occasion or reads on occasion then maybe no harm done...........especially if they do this with a willing partner. if the partner isn't willing then that's just wrong to force the partner to participate.

as someone else said..........you can get some good ideas from watching some of the vids and implement in your relationship.

angie

Some porn is quite bad. I saw a guy punch a girl in the nose. Yes I have watched my fair share of porn movies. I sometimes wonder about the ages of some girls in the films as well, are some of them actually 18? Some porn can be quite abusive, and people get off on this type of stuff. That's not good. I am getting away from porn myself. I am a lonely guy, I want something of worth in my life.

From an analytical viewpoint porn many times is degraded. You have taken sex, something which can be beautiful, and you've pulled out things like respect, communication, and you have two or more people in these movies, more or less, just jerking each other off. It falls along the "If it feels good, do it" way of life. No strings attatched, just bang each other. This is the lifestyle that brings unloved children into the world, the parents didn't love each other, it might mean that the child is not loved. I am not going to lie, porn is arousing, but it has brought me no closer to finding love in my life.

I see nothing wrong with some variety in the bedroom, no problems here. But I do see something wrong with the permiscuity and unkindness that porn can promote.
