Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
Does Porn Control?
When you Drive your car, do you drive it to your destination or would you let sex take the wheel?
Sex, it really is a wonderful thing. From your first experience to your last, people can't get enough of it. It is from this that the miracle of childbirth is possible. But when newborn becomes newborn pleasure, does this change your stance?
Pornography is the "limb tangle" of sex. Pornhub released their annual results weighing in at 21 billion people visiting the website and 4.3 billion hours worth of pornography consumed. Doesn't it all get to a point where you've had enough? A point where you realize that this one thing is simply sex.
Many could argue that sex is the reason for our existance (which could be argued) but most would agree both porn and sexual activity is for simple pleasure. Yet has anyone thought about the feeling of making something? The feeling that you get after coming home from a long day at work safe? The feeling of growing something significant in the world and making a difference? What about even simpler things like friendship? When you dig deeper and deeper it is evident that the answer to this is yes, sex is overrated. There are way too many price tags and too many ratings for such a common and insignificant thing.
It's almost as if I declared one day that playing with the end of your pencil was forbidden and that doing it was wrong. Then everyone would do it, most likely make memes and probably even make videos on the dark web of rubbing your pencil.
Just take a second now, step back and think. Is sex needed to survive? Is it absolutely complusary? Sure I won't make the truth abstract, for some it is all of the above but is it something we should let drive our lives?
I personally believe as someone who has been surrounded as a child and teenager with such atrocities that sex and more so, porn is wrong. I believe that porn is something that should be banned, there are many different people gaining money. The owner of buisnesses, the domain hosters, the actors and directors, the internet companies and places which sell sex toys and technology used in porn. However, take a look at how twisted this society, no this world, has become. How many lives have been ruined and how many more to come?
Taking a look back in time to the earliest of people to roam this Earth, artworks and pictures can be seen of men and women walking around peacefully naked. No men popping one, no covering up of the "private areas" and most of all, no need for porn. If porn did not exist, then the secrecy put on female's "girls" and both men and women's "downstairs" would not exist. This would mean that people would not find these genitals so significant and arousing. Understandably, people have common decency and dignity though porn is a large contributer to the sexual attraction put on pictures of women's pants for example. I personally believe that this would substantially decrease the rate of sex scandals, rape and many other sex-related problems let alone the pressure put on relationships over sex.
On the topic of the pressure put on relationships because of porn, this website, GAG, has over time revealed to me that this is an evident problem. More commonly with females but evident in males (myself included). Porn puts such great expectations on relationships and from people looking to date online on datings apps and websites. My favourite quote that would simply save everyone from this endless loop of expectations and rape is; Expectations always lead to disappointment. Never expect anything from anybody. Be self content. Anticipate everything but expect nothing.
Dr Anil Kr Sinha quotes
This article is proof that sometimes these sexual expectations go too far and a when there isn't a no to sex, a yes isn't required. https://www.bustle.com/articles/135171-i-didnt-say-no-but-it-was-still-rape?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=owned&utm_campaign=sexrelationshipsbustle
It really is a shame that the world has come to this.
What Girls & Guys Said
42 63Or you could just let people's private affairs be there own and we'll do the same. Some people make considerable amounts of money in that industry thank you very much so no, no one is banning porn anytime soon.
The world has ALWAYS been like this, only without the internet. There has always been porn distributed in whatever media were available; first drawings, then photography and fiction, and then film and now video. Women today are generally recognized as full adults.
Anyway, it's been proven over and over again that legally defining pornography is not easy. One person's literature is another person's porn (Tropic of Cancer, Lady Chatterley's Lover, etc.) And I have no patience for people like you who feel entitled to dictate other people's private behavior. No one is forcing you to look at porn or have sex. Join a monastery or whatever you want to do and stop worrying about what other people are doing.
I don't know you, but I wonder whether you identify as asexual. Thing is, for many people, including myself, sex is something that feels really good, sometimes even a release from stress and other factors of daily life that one might not enjoy. It will be hard to make them stop liking sex. I get that is is not essential, but it is pleasant and it plays a role in society, as well as for individuals themselves. It makes sense.
You are entitled to your views, but porn will never be banned, and the only reason anyone should consider a personal ban is if you have no control of your own bodily functions, and your brain.
Porn comes in many forms, different sexual activities, normal and super endowed actors, but its main benefit is as a fantasy stimulant, allowing vicarious enjoyment of fantasies and desires without involving another person.
There are many times when people have desires they cannot reasonably fulfill with a partner or stranger, but can achieve by masturbation watching well made porn.
Many couples, whatever their sexual orientation, use porn to stimulate them and enhance their sexual pleasures.
There are also many lonely people who get so horny that they, in desperation, commit unwanted sexual acts on other people, without consent.
They can relieve that stress demand by utilising porn, and not run the risk of causing another person untold distress. While saving themselves from sexual demand driven crime, prosecution and vilification. As well as relieving the police and justice system of costly activity.
Porn does help to drastically reduce sex crime. Which has to be good.
I like how you said the reason for our existence being sex could be argued. No, it definitely can not be argued. You are here because your parents had sex. If you're talking philisophically or religiously you are comparing apples to oranges. As for the rest of your take, I do get your point. Over indulgence in porn is probably not good, but I think here and there it's fine. It's also freedom of speech, so unless you'd like to give up that right in other contexts, porn is here to say. Sorry, but you can't pick and choose within certain limits. Sex is not really over rated, but it is misunderstood. Porn sex is not sex in the way one really enjoys it.
I'm sure there could be a good argument made about sex being overrated but this isn't it. This Take is all over the place and I'm not quite sure what the hell I just read.
I have watched more than my share of porn and i feel that what i look at is harmless. I dont keep video around but have a wide selection of stills. I call it feminine art because i have (almost) no sex acts. They are all about women and their lady parts.
However...
I feel porn is corrosive to the young. Sexuality should come from intimate discovery and not mouse clicks at age 12. I would like it to be entirely banned since it is impossible to keep it away from kids otherwise. Of course that means i would give up my stash and links.
Most people let their craving for good emotions drive them, often taking the form of sex because it's such a pleasure center. Sex isn't the only thing driving us. So I can't say it's overrated or even over valued.
The largest influence came for the west. Movies, buildings, TV, sports, cars and so on. When you keep muniplating throw the media and more by going to other countries and do it even more , in some point, people will start doing it without thinking about it.
Porn is ruin way to many relationships, like women obsession with big penis and big muscles, like men who wants threesome. I met many people who don't have porn in their lives like others (they do watch once every 2-3 weeks) and it's for ideas to spice up things in the bedroom. Mostley are young people who finds it very easy to reach, just few clicks away and you reach unlimited source of porn. No one cares, becasue it's feels great to release that energy, we all have our little escape plan where everything goes like we want in our fantasy. Ban porn? yea right, just like banning smoking.
It's getting more and more normal. Now people who don't watch porn are the unnormal, the time has changed.
Banning porn is stupid, not everyone is going to have a partner that is into EVERY sexual kink that he/she is into.
Porn is an excellent way to get that release! :-D
But without porn how would you know about that kink?
Opinion owner. Guess the pinks aren't going for this idea , maybe thier saying they want a relationship. ?
@somebodysaycheese oh come on now, the idea of a man wanting to have sex with two women at the same time, is a fantasy example that doesn't need porn.
@Djaaaaaay... or maybe these women WILL do every kink necessary to satisfy their man completely! 😉
Thats a very child like kink lol. Im talking about actual kinks.
@somebodysaycheese the specific kinks come from imagination... SOMEONE has to come up with the idea first in order to put it on film or on pics
Yes, bu that specific kink that an individual came up with without porn couldnt reach millions.
@somebodysaycheese No idea is completely original, other people around the world have the same ideas, just one executes the idea before the others do. Are u for or against porn?
Yes, I agree.
Utter rubbish, especially: "If porn did not exist, then the secrecy put on female's "girls" and both men and women's "downstairs" would not exist."
Of course they are attractive to the opposite sex, that is how they have developed!
Porn has its downsides, unreasonable expectations from your partner, the idea that the positions chosen for maximum exposure to the camera are the positions that feel the best, for example, but most couples should be able to work that out for themselves.
The upside is that several studies "conclude the liberalization of pornography in society may be associated with decreased rape and other sexual violence rates, suggest no effect, or are inconclusive" (wikipedia)
Presumably, none of them suggest an increase in rape, which is probably the most important finding and argument against banning pornography.
I see where you are coming from that people get false expectations from porn - It is hard for me to actually quantify because I literally grew up without porn (no internet ) but I would like to think that people grow beyond porn and realise it is not real then learn to view sex and love as it should be seen within the boundaries of human interaction not camera angles.
no... if you dont want to watch it then thats your choice. but as long as my activities aren't hurting anyone, and aren't illegal then im free to do as i please. i like porn. i like sex. i masturbate twice a day, and my partner and i have sex at least once a day.
im happy and content, and so is she. if we didn't have this release im sure it would be a different story.
"Walking around peacefully naked"... clubbing each other over the head and stealing their women.
"How many lives are ruined"... how many aren't? Countless more. You can't ban everything because someone lets it get the better of them and it ruins their life.
Try being in a sexless relationship when the man doesn't want it and then tell me how you feel. Sex is amazing
He never said sex is not amazing. Being obsessed with sex is wrong
I'm actually in quite the same position. I would prefer not having sex consistantly. Though I do admit it is good. However the real big take down is porn, it really ruined a range of things I would've been able to enjoy in sex
Porn should be banned. There's a direct correlation between it and sex addiction
yeah, just like shopping : shopping should be banned because shop-aholics is a real thing
Yeah not going to happen
Is this the way to go?

I hope not lol
Neither. You're ringing a bell that no one hears.
Porn drives technology - it will usher in VR which will be the biggest money-maker in the history of technology. Youtube, bandwidth, internet, is all driven by the porn industry.
Sex is the binder in a man-woman relationship. Without it you're just roommates or friends like any other relationship. A marriage is the ONLY place and the only situation where it is condoned in the bible. That should tell you right there how important it is.
You don't have sex with your friends, but you should be with your mate. If you're not you're not a happy camper.
I'd say you have some growing up to do - focus on your own self and less on what everybody else is doing. You seem like one of those SJW type 'should' people. Quit trying to say what everybody else SHOULD be doing.
