5 Myths About Porn

Due to my age and hence the G@G censorship for minors, I'm trying to be least sexual as I can be hence this take is not focused on sexual parts of porn. But irrespective of that, There are many myths about people believe in. Here are some of them:

1) BDSM Involves a Contract Agreement:

5 Myths about porn

BDSM sometimes involves play contracts. These are not legal documents whatsoever. The contracts in the introduction of BDSM videos are part of the fantasy. Fantasy is that there is a “binding” document entitling one partner to the other’s body/mind/soul. Although they're used to keep track of preferences of the partner.

2) "Breaking point" of girls

5 Myths About Porn

(Img: Kounachi Broken Princess) This one is common among hentai watchers. It says that "If you force penetration on a woman, she'll resist it for some time ( like an hour) and then after reaching that breaking point, she'll turn into a pure slut which can do anything to get penetrated. This is a MYTH. You can't force someone for your sexual desires. It is rape. Also, breaking point doesn't exist. It is going to be painful if forced. It is just part of the fantasy.

3) Its okay to have unprotected sex

5 Myths About Porn

Unprotected sex is NOT okay. In porn, they do that just to make it look more real. Of course, those pornstars use birth control pills but pills can't prevent you from STDs. Always practice safe sex.

4) Porn Ruins Relationships

5 Myths About Porn

Yes, porn addiction can be harmful to the relationship. But in a controlled manner or watching it together can benefit your relationship.

Talking about porn may actually help couples to be more honest and accepting of one another, and get to the bottom of some other issues.

Porn can become ‘the path of least resistance,’ when couples aren’t getting along. (Dr Ari Tuckman)

5) Women Don't Watch Porn

5 Myths About Porn

This one is very very common among men. Women do watch porn as much as men do. There are hundreds of questions on G@G about this one! Well, women of G@G can confirm this one in comment section :)

  • 1. BDSM is much more than "porn".
    Its a way of life, and in fact:
    A lot of people dont have any sex in their sessions. What you see on "porn" was meant to attract people sexually.

    2. Porn doesn't really "help" relationships.
    Its like saying that some foods are not "unhealthy". It doesn't make them "healthy".
    So... Its more reasoanable to say that porn won't ruin a relationship, without creating another false myth: "Porn could help relationships".
    If a couple came to a point in which its merely porn that "helps" them to accept each other and be more "honest", they are in some sick relationship.

    3. Unsafe sex is better, and maybe its wrong to say that, but lots of couples still use condoms when they are on pills, which is rather fucked up. Whats the point in having such a relationship with someone you love..
    Oh well, debatable.

    4. I've never heard if such thing as "breaking point".
    You kids are really messed up for having these ideas.
    Someone should lock you in a room and starve you to death for creating/believing in such theories.

    • My husband and I have had times when we had to use condoms, it did suck big time but we didn't let it affect our love life.

    • thanks for the MHO.

  • Porn ruins lives. Period. It gives you unrealistic expectations with sex, and causes you to be conditioned and a slave to it. One does not need to be Porn addicted to ruin a good relationship by forcing your partner into sexual acts they don't agree with doing, and then get mad at them for not fulfilling them. I know this for a fact with my parents before my late mother passed away. It doesn't make anybody excepting of it. It's about preference. " But in a controlled manner or watching it together can benefit your relationship." No, it does not. It destroys it due to your inability to be selfless and actually loving your partner they way they needed to be loved uniquely. And no amount of porn or sex acts can change that. Porn is damaging to the psyche and soul. I thank God every day I don't watch that porn filth. Ruins the brain, and they even have studies on what the brain is like after porn exposure. It's no different than drug addicts or alcoholics.

    • Precisely!!!

    • I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, but I think you are somewhat exaggerating. The way I see it, porn can be problematic because it tricks you into thinking you are getting something you would actually have to work VERY hard for IRL. Kind of like cheating on a test. Sure, you got away with it, but the only person you fooled was yourself.

    • by the way, it's not like mainstream media has a better message for kids: 1) Girl is imperilled 2) Guy risks life and limb saving girl from dragon/wicked witch/whatever 3) They live happily ever after Imagine my disappointment when I discovered dragons aren't real.

  • #1. The BDSM contract is a contract. Weather it be written down or verbal, it doesn't matter that its not a legal document, it is one of good faith between participants. It tries to collate what the participants do and do not wish to do, what they can and can't handle, but most importantly it lets everyone involved know what someones limits are, and when its time to stop.

    #2. I've seen my fair share of BDSM and fetish porn, and I'm pretty sure the 'breaking point' thing isn't a porn thing, so much it is Hentai / Japanese rape cartoon thing.

    #3 Unprotected sex is great. Its fun. It feels better. But be smart about it. If you are in a monogamous relationship, then whats the issue? If you want to roll the dice on some random chick you just met on tinder then that's plain old dumb. Also in the porn industry they try and keep the actors and actresses safe with regular STD/STI testing, which they have to hand in the results of I think fortnightly or monthly.

    #5 This might have been a thing, but I was pretty sure this hasn't been a thing for 10-15 years now.

    5 Myths About Porn

  • You forgot the #1 thing - porn sex doesn't resemble real-life sex.

    • True, that. And porn sex actors don't resemble real life people. They're chosen for the size and shape of their private parts.

  • Porn makes some things look sexy while they aren't in real life. Who lusts after his siblings for example?

    • incredibly fucked up people, thats who

    • Porn has actually been proven to affect the brain in a similar way to drugs like cocaine, affecting the same areas of the brain. The brain is plastic and certain things can change, it's how addictions are created. This often can make people fetishise the things they see in porn, things that they otherwise wouldn't like. It might seem a little "out there" but I think that those who produce such things must know this and I think they do it purposely. I predict that at some point in the future those people will then try to normalise incest.

    • @englisc So you suggest that by seeing the same things one eventually perceives them as normal?

  • Many interesting things...
    #1 waw
    #2 just reading it, sounds so silly, can't imagine something like this exists even if fiction...
    #4 really don't know either, why watch something else...
    #5 maybe

  • That "breaking point" thing is really fucked up, I hope nobody actually believes it.

    • I've never heard of it in my country. You kids are really messed up.. Coming up with these ideas.

    • Your arm is hairy.. ew ew ew

    • @Bleh00000000 Thank you for mentioning the obvious.

    • Lmao. nope

    • Then why the hell did it say that when I went to your profile? Lol

  • Actually in Hollywood, if you shoot porn there the law is you have to wear a condom. It's in place to protect the porstars

  • I like the last two. Here are some more:
    - Porn stars are stupid
    - Porn stars are abuse victims
    - Porn stars are talentless
    - Porn stars take drugs

    As a porn fan.. and a recovering addict (this is the biggest problem with porn I believe, and to be honest I only believe its healthy to be viewed by those that are sexually active, which is why I need to quit), I know more about porn than most people I meet. Frustratingly people who say the above have no idea what they are talking about, and appear to be regurgitating a widely accepted doctrine about porn. Some porn stars are geniuses. Some have come from work in science and engineering into porn. The money is nice but often they are driven by a desire to be sexually adventurous, to be a sexual exhibitionist, to experience the thrill of being that sexually naughty, and I believe that they often only intend to do so for a short while before returning to their career, only because of the horrific way porn stars are looked upon and treated in mainstream society often they are restricted in doing so.

    This leads me onto my second point. Some porn stars are abuse victims, as are some actors, musicians, teachers, builders, etc. There is no evidence that there are more in porn. Some are doing porn for the reasons I described in the above paragraph, and they are not abuse victims.

    I also believe it is an incredible talent. They have to be confident, comfortable and charismatic on camera. They're having very challenging sex which is a hech of a workout, yoga-like positions, long time period. Porn stars who do anal, mate I consider that a talent. All the prep, and being able to do it so well.

    And drugs. Some do. Again more than in mainstream showbiz? Doubt it. Many porn stars attest that they are straight edge, or only smoke pot (therefor not exactly junkies, just stoners).

    But yeah, like any vice it has problems. As I said, bad for people not actually having sex, in my opinion.

  • Nice take but the comments about #4 are making me laugh so hard lol

  • Porn creates a unrealistic expectation of sex especially for a younger viewer.
    I'm not interested in porn because I see no point in watching other people get off when I could be getting some of my own action.

  • I'm not married but i think porn will cause a lot of insecurities in a marriage (especially for inexperienced people) because it is so unrealistic

  • Hentai is pretty fucked up

  • "Women watch porn as much as men do" -- I'm skeptical of that claim.

  • thanks for the info.

  • Do many really believe #2 and #3? That's scary.

    Some girls watch porn but not nearly as much as guys. I just read that females make up only 24% of visits to Pornhub and Redtube.

  • I love porn, especially hentai ^^

    • Hentai porn is REALLY fucked up... and I know you're just messing with us.

    • @loveslongnails I know, and I love it! My mind is so fucked up!

    • @loveslongnails One of my favourites is the one called "Rape! Rape! Rape!," haha

  • Good Take

  • Good take - The reality is yes Porn is somewhat unrealistic - At best it is escapist fantasy, at worse it gives you misinformation and misconceptions about sex and relationships (ok there is a lot worse out there but lets stay in the mainstream of form, shall we say for this take) - Probably the best advice I can give is the notion of what you can take away from porn. Lets look at any sexual practice, people/society probably have unconcious criteria around it like legality, morality, societal, is anyone or yourself getting hurt? - So in the norm the vast majority of porn viewers will lose any misconceptions about sex or relationships through real life and communication with a partner and go on to form healthy relationships - Excuse the pun but for me its different folks, different strokes whether it is romantic fiction and shipping characters on your favourite TV show to actually perusing your favourite type of porn on sites - There are a myriad of discussion issues within that answer but I would not mind the existence of porn as long as it hits most peoples' "Criterion Morality"

    • Are people really so clueless that they can't have amazing sex without "tips" from porn? Such a sad commentary for our culture

    • @TuMeManques You have very valid points but I kept my answer simple by just talking about the vast majority of people whose experience of porn ranges from curiosity to some interest. Yes some people develop addictive behaviour and have inapprobriate behaviour enabled. It is like a lot of GaG answers that could be a lot longer and more complicated if you try to cover every angle. So we are just left with a block of folks, ok which of these may take tips from porn or receive misinformation/misconceptions maybe the ones who haven't had sex yet or are in the early stages of a first physical relationships. These are the folks who my have to unlearn things in real life relationships to have a new type of great relationship. it might be a generational thing but nowadays we have kids who are brainwashed into thinking that Happiness is an measured of your number of Instagram followers, your online rating or getting a mercedes for your "Sweet Sixteen" and (1 to be contd)

    • @TuMeManques (part 2) not by having a person who will hold you together when everything seems to be falling apart.

  • Scientifically you're incredibly wrong on 4. Porn is as addicting as drugs. It lowers libido substantially and also lowers you're ability to find joy in other things. Real things. Those are just a couple of the negative side effects that can and will effect relationships.
