I mean, it is okay in moderation. There's nothing wrong with the naked human body of either gender. And we need sex to reproduce.
But being addicted to it can lead to problems. Also, a lot of it is crude and fake.
Porn is getting more simplistic and disgusting every year. Back in the 1970-1990s they were real movies with a story. The viewer knew why there was going to be sex and could identify with a character. Now it’s mostly gonzo-style with the set consisting of a sofa in an industrial building. The sex looks more like legalized rape, with the focus of beating up, choking and slapping the female victim. The idea that young impressionable people are watching this and getting brainwashed is uncomfortable, to say the least.
Personally, when I watch porn, I watch mostly girl/girl movies, because I actually want to see kissing and foreplay, not violence.
You're right
As long as you’re not addicted to it, as long as you dont cancel plans, absent work or classes for it..
Once in a while for some fantasies is not that bad in my opinion
Video porn seems really stupid. Rarely a tasteful photo artistically done is OK.
Lately, though, tv and movies are becoming more pornagraphic every year, and I am not a fan.
Anything can be bad if it's interfering with the rest of your life
I agree

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Yes, it's bad 100%. It's quick, instant pleasure on demand. It removes our desire to pursue and actively work on our courting skills. Why bother when porn is right there. It makes us lazy and unmotivated. I think we'd be dating a lot more on average if there was no porn and the only outlet for sexuality was with a partner.
it's bad same way cocain is just coca leaf. nothing wrong with coca leaf. but boil it down to fine powder and it's dangerous.
humans are fragile chemical systems... don't want to program the brain to something that is not realistic and distort.
No, it's not bad. Idiot 'holier than thouers' just like to make themselves feel important by bashing various things.
I think a lot of porn is badly written to play to the addictions of porn addicts. But it doesn't have to be that way.
I think people tend to rely on it too much, when it becomes a substitute in a relationship, that's really sad.
Porn is objectively bad and wrong because it reduces sexual love and intimacy, as well as the body and human sexuality in general, to means of consumption and entertainment. It cheapens both.
I think it places both a devaluing and reductionist view of a person's sexuality, and diminishes sexual satisfaction/arousal from a "normal" partner, who maybe can't deepthroat, or do other things. So it's a fantasy for men, of both a woman's beauty and usage as a sexual object.
It's also very addictive.
I'm in agreement with all of your points, and DO think it can become a problem. My girlfriend said that masturbation can become a habit, and I'm forced to agree with her, in that masturbation goes hand in hand with the porn we see everyday on line, and I am as guilty as the next party in watching porn and masturbation, because for me, the two go together, but also remembering past sexual partners is probably more of a masturbation "motivator".
P. S. I just asked permission to 'follow' you as I do like your point of view.
It's fine in small doses, ten hours a day that can be a big issue.
I had a former girlfriend that liked watching it during foreplay, it would get her all wound up, and I would help her along at the same time so it was a win win.
People are different so their likes and dislikes are different.
It can be entertaining to watch on occasion, however it can make people feel inadequate or give them unreal expectations. As you said some people get addicted to it.
I think there is bad porn but porn is not bad.
Some of it's kinda shot badly or it isn't what it claims to be but, it's okay.
It's not really good to be addicted to much of anything.
Nope - watching my primary sexual fantasies happening helps me to masturbate and orgasm. Especially since my wife is on menopause and sex doesn’t enter her mind much anymore.
Well, I think it should be discouraged. If someone wants to do the physical act then get married. That's the only healthy way to be with someone. People cheat because there is no end to more and more and better looking women in the world but as a person one needs to stop and realize even if a person has done it with someone new there will always be a new face. And your matrimonial link and boundaries are disturbed.
Why do you want to discuss porn? Isn't it bad for women? They are forced into it or lured into it and turned into objects and it's messed up too. Privacy of bed should stay there
We do need to reproduce obviously and loving someone is great too but what porn is doing is distorting our minds. Minds of both men who watch it and of women who do it and watch it as well. I have had a peek too but I don't think it is healthy.
I think porn is too fake/artificial to be exciting. Not real enough. Also, guys who masturbate to porn too often can't get an erection that easily in real life, when they need to. A lot of disappointed women.
Porn is mind poison.
I don't think it's bad if people realize that a lot of it is staged etc. I think it gives a lot of people unrealistic expectations about sex. Not every guy is going to have a 1 foot dong and be on enough Viagra to cause a heart attack.
I agree if it’s in moderation and honestly porn can actually help couples spice up there sex life and there is some informational porn that can help make sex better.
There's some good and some bad. Some is exploitative of women, but not all. Finding responsibly made porn and supporting independent content creators is the way forward! Nothing wrong with having a little fun and indulging in fantasies that can't necessarily be mae a reality!
No I enjoy watching it lol
