Do you think porn is brainwashing?

[Anonymous]

Is porn brainwashing? Brainwashing our minds into thinking this is how 'she ' / 'he' should look like. Can you blame that on porn?

[Thandz01]

Yep and its damaging to current/future relationships between peers, parents, family, and spouses present or future like your future wife or husband. It gives an unrealistic even fantastical view of the opposite sex and its something a lot of women struggle with and almost every guy at some point including me in my past but thinks to Jesus this struggle can be overcome and eventually having the desire destroyed in you.. for those trying to stop u do not need a therapist, doctor, or dumb internet steps or advice to stop u just need to get to know Jesus through reading/studying the bible and eventually accepting him into your heart by an ordained pastor at a local church and using your own willpower to ignore these desires telling yourself no, putting down the phone or laptop and doing something else or pray.

It can brainwash the idiots, just like TV, music, newspapers... everything can be brainwashing if you're an idiot.
If you're educated, if you had parents that told you not to believe everything you seen and are told, if you open your eyes and look around you, if you open your mind, you'll see how porn is not close to reality, it's just a fantasy.

A bit. I think exposure to port at really young ages, like 10-13 can warp people's expectations of sex and how to behave... they don't understand that it's acting, that a lot of the female performers especially are just doing it for money, not because it's enjoyable. People see a girl moaning and screaming and think she's loving it when she's actually bored as fuck and wanting it to be over. 'Hot girls wanted' is a good documentary into how girls get into porn and what they really think about it.

In moderation, no. Sure porn may present us with lots of unrealistic expectations on how sex is or how someone should look, but as long as people realize that that's not realistic it's okay. There have been some psych studies showing that an excess of porn can cause people to be dissatisfied with there own sex lives, but there doesn't seem to be such a backlash when watched in moderate amounts

[shadowlegend]

No. It's the responsibility of a person to educate themselves about realistic expectations and understand that porn is not representing reality, it's about fulfilling a fantasy.

[BellePepper]

I think it can work that way for some people but they're usually the ones that already have those issues with other forms of media as well.

[tinyclit]

I have a brain and I know how to use it. I don't blame porn for anything.

[SoWhAt249]

Yes, it is...
Porn will tell you that a female must always shave her pubic area.
Porn will tell you that oral sex is a must.
Porn will tell you that she must be as beautiful as a model.
Porn will tell you that a guy must have a big penis.
Porn will tell you everything...
In the past, they didn't care if a girl was shaved or if a guy had a big dick and all... The only purpose of sex was to either make family or money... But making money then was not public like now... After they internet came along, many things went sideways...

[uknaked]

No, just use it as an aid to stimulation and enjoy, accept that many people who get paid to do porn tend to be reasonably attractive, it is a requirement of the job.

[thatboye]

Yes it is. In porn, you will see a lot of bigger than average of everything, and that's how some people think that is how it is in real life. Nah it doesn't work like that not every black guy is hung, not every white/asian is small, not every black woman has a big booty, not every white girl have big boobs, I can go on. Maybe not all has the same mentality as I do, but because or porn, this is how I was brought up to believe, but I am smart enough to know not all of it works out in real life.

[Fearless_banana]

Why don't you stop blaming sexually attractive individuals for your issues. If you're fat.. then fcking change that instead of trying to lower the world down to your level. God I hate society sometimes lol.

[ZenithDawn]

if i had a nickel for every person who asked this question without thinking about TV MOVIES GAMES and so on id be rich

[chrisbigman]

Yes, absolutely. That's why I find porn to be bad.

[Dragan]

Porn is bad. Brainwashing or not, should not be seen that trash.

[manoobilli]

Yes it is...
It is far away from reality

[Entruder]

It can. Porn is usually nothing but trouble. It can create unrealistic expectations or cause someone to do something uncalled for (because they saw it on porn, so they think its ok to do). There was also a TED talks about porns effect on the brain (and so also the body), so if you want to know more, look it up.

[Decentguy]

yeah it is brainwashing but not in the look like way,

[bcromartie]

No. There's no sound evidence of that either.

[Polocrew]

Lmaoo @fearless_banana these nerds never getting laid

[niceguy111]

yes it is

[Anonymous]

ye mommy ;)

[Anonymous]

Yes, it can be brainwashing since the majority of porn is staged however though
if you watch amateur porn, there is a less change of anything being staged

[Anonymous]

A bit.

From what I can see though it has more impact on self esteem then expectations.

Most people seem quite happy with partners who don't look like porn stars. But women are worried they don't look like them and guys are worried their dicks aren't big enough.
