Good and Bad Effects of Porn

Porn continues to generate controversy. While some people consume and defend it, others are totally against it.

A controversial question that will probably generate a good debate in a meeting with friends, because probably nobody has yet agreed on whether porn can have advantages or disadvantages in sexual health. Today we talk about it.

The Good Effects of Porn

Yes, although the detractors of pornography probably do not see any advantage, for many people they do.

In the first place, pornography helps to awaken the imagination, especially of those people who have not been able to awaken their sexual maturity which has not so much to do with age, up to a certain limit.

Some people have a hard time waking up their own fantasies in their minds, so pornography is a great ally to let go and let loose their own eroticism. And, of course, having sexual fantasies is synonymous with good sexual health.

Secondly, one of the most important aspects of pornography is that it allows libido to be released, that is, it helps many people get excited and find themselves through masturbation.

Masturbating is also one of the best sexual health practices, as it encourages self-confidence and self-knowledge so that each person can freely decide what they like and what they don’t.

In addition, pornography can be used in many ways, not only alone. In fact, many couples play and have fun intimately while watching pornography together.

Finally, good pornography can foster sexual culture, open the mind and have greater knowledge about what sex means.

The Bad Effects of Porn

One of the biggest problems of traditional porn is the objectification of women, the sexism that often presents and the fact that it does not show sexual reality in a couple. In fact, pornography detractors often point out that the sex that reflects traditional porn is too mechanical and false.

And in a way, they don’t lack reason. An example of this is the orgasm gap between men and women that are currently being made visible, which shows that current heterosexual sex is not working as well for men than for women.

Women have fewer orgasms than men, and many sexual health professionals and researchers point out that the culture of traditional porn in which women are reified has much to do.

Many men believe that women enjoy only or directly with penetration because most traditional pornography completely avoids preliminary games, courtship or sensuality. On the other hand, many women who have consumed traditional porn think that sex is a game of submission to men’s desires, regardless of their own desires.

Even the so-called “porn culture” has reached such a point that many people are unable to get excited if they do not have a pornographic video in front, which can eventually lead to personal and couple sexual health problems.

And then, Yes or No?

It is clear that eroticism is part of the human being. In all cultures, sex and eroticism have been the object of curiosity and worship, although in many times it has been given that mystical air through taboo. Probably, we could not live without sexual fantasies, without small gifts of eroticism outside our routine and without sexual desire.

The decision about whether or not to consume pornography, whether to agree or not is totally personal and respectable.

Although perhaps the key is more in what type of pornography we consume, because today not all porn is the same. While traditional porn does usually place women on a plane of total submission to men’s desires, we increasingly find pornography that breaks with established gender dimensions and offers more balanced sex between roles.
