delete Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 This is me trying to make a topic that sparks real discussion, I hope you like it Don I know what you're all thinking, how can porn possibly be harmful? Well, you probably don't know that it's very psychologically harmful and it's unknowingly re-wiring your minds. Bear in mind before reading this, I refer to men a lot instead of women. I'm not being sexist, it's just more According to recent psychology reports, young men in their 20s are losing their groove in bed because they're addicted to porn. It's a psychological issue that's also causing men to lose their libidos a lot earlier than usual. Overexposure to sexually explicit photos and videos is causing men to lose interest in real sexual encounters and experiences with women. After a period of time, excessive porn watchers overstimulate a neurochemical in their bodies called dopamine — the drive behind every "want" and "desire" that humans feel we need to "overcome." But with your libido in constant drive mode, your dopamine reaction will become numb and, eventually, you won't be aroused by the same experiences as before. In addition to this, did you know that there's a thing called sexual anorexia where you watch so much porn that you get anxious when you're in a real life situation with a woman and unable to get an erection. Did you know that young men who become addicted to porn often neglect their school work, become isolated from others and often suffer depression. Did you know that porn turns sex into masturbation, anyone watched Don Jon? It may be a comedy film, but it's actually true. If you frequently watch porn, it's about pleasure and not self-giving. I don't know whether you heard, I remember posting it a few months back. Some sick 13 year old raped his 8 year old sister, just because he and his friend watched porn on their Xbox and they wanted to "try it out on someone else". It's disgusting and sickening hearing stuff like this, hearing what porn can do in real life. My main point is, people like porn. But they don't realise the consequences, the main ones being that it can damage you socially and sometimes economically. I don't feel the need to do it anymore, seeing as I'm of legal age it doesn't make sense for me to do considering I can get the real thing now so to speak. If any of you members do it, just be careful and limit it. What are you thoughts and opinions on porn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☠King Orclord☠ Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 If you watch porn as a kid then it absolutely is harmful because it can traumatize their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Didn't read. Porn is good and bad. Nothing else to say It's better to control yourself imo. You shouldn't hold the snake everyday 7 times a day lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SassySlothh Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I agree with what the government has recently done and started removing videos with people in them that look under 18, it will also stop child porn from being made eventually. Porn isnt a bad thing unless, like you mentioned, you become obsessed and start to crave watching it. People that are obsessed dont get aroused in real life situations because they're used to watching sex instead of doing it. Im a legal age, id rather not watch another woman and a man, nor gay porn, so i see no need for me to watch porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's an addiction or not, frequently watching it isn't gonna lead to good things. EDIT: I think the boy that raped his sister watched it for the first time, that proves that it's not just addiction that causes it.

Bob_Van_Dam Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Watching porn nowadays is very risky and dangerous considering the new levels of porn that is available. A person might be tired of normal porn and move onto something like fetish stuff. The fetish stuff becomes very boring to their minds and they go to the illegal side of things like animals and even worse.... Children. They then become the internet stereotype, a really fat guy with a neck beard living in his mom's basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huh Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 That kid must have had some kind of problem beforehand, porn isn't gonna urge you to rape your little sister dudes, unless something is seriously wrong with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about the dangers of fetishes before this post...

Yeah that's exactly what I thought man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Pete® Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) codes, Ive watched porn, you have, every fucking male over 13 has... we ain't no serial killers! obviously serial killers have watched porn... every fucker has! not all serial killers are sex related.. washington sniper is a prime example.

The Don Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yes it is harmful. It is the one thing all serial killers have in common. All serial killers also breathed air and drank water. I HATE that argument, I just wanted to get that out of the way. To say a chronic masturbator or porn hound is more likely to become a serial killer is like saying if you play too many FPS games, you're gonna shoot up your school. Utter nonsense. Now then; Nazza, I may add you to the Christmas card list. I like this topic and I like this question. Do I think porn as a whole is harmful? No. But it can however change a person. Bob beat me to this but there's always a need for more. Softcore/Skinemax stuff gets old, so you move on to hardcore, on to bondage, on to whatever kink of choice you may have. But at the same time this can happen with adrenaline junkies. Actually on a chemical level aren't they about the same? Always looking for the next bigger and better "high"? As with a lot of the "Is this harmful?" discussions/debates it's all a matter of self control and moderation. Can it become destructive? Absolutely. If you're sneaking into the bathroom durring Granny's birthday party to rub one out, you just might have a problem. There are people who may equate porn with real life, "Oh! Sasha Gray took two cocks in the ass, one in the vag and was slapped. But she had a smile on her face, maybe I should try that with my girlfriend." is a BAD idea. If you can realize the difference between fantasy and reality while exercising selfcontrol, it's all good. I can't really speak on the libido and physical effects as I'm not a doctor and I've never really looked into it extensively. I can see how it'd constant masturbation and ejaculation can have negative side effects on your body's ability to produce chemicals including testosterone. Medical stuff, is out of my realm. But the idea that if an average male watches too much porn or walks the one eyed wonder weasel too much they'll become a rapist, serial killer or pedophile I think is just wrong. I'll say this too, I've taken in my fair share of porn (remember I got about 10+ years on a lot of the members here) but have no problem getting it up with a woman. Nor have I ever once went "Maybe if I choke the everloving fuck out of her..." or considered rape an option. Oh yeah, should you get off on bondage, gay, tranny, choking, spanking or whatever your fetish of choice may be. Fly your freak flag high, if it's consensual and safe there's no problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fufu ÷ Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Porn aint cool if you introduce it too early, but in a way it is helpful. I mean, I went to catholic school, and an anthopamorphasised(spell) sperm cell boning an egg aint exactly education. I had to learn it on my own, in a way. Lisa Ann sucking 5 dicks at a time doesn't help anyone, but seeing what people do can help. It's an odd area, because PORN in it's general sense is the faked shit, but some of the more amateur stuff is 'helpful'. Ultimately, it depends WHAT porn you see.

The Don Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My personal opinion is that watching an unhealthy amount of porn isn't going to make you a serial killer. And you even "mean very, very, very few" people in your response. I have no doubt in my mind that serial killers get off on killing someone like a sexual release. I just think porn being a gateway to becoming a serial killer utter nonsense. Yes, it could and has lead to rape, but I have a feeling those people had more wrong with them than just an unhealthy porn addiction. I will however say that I think if the wrong type of person watches the wrong type of porn for too long it can rewire their brain. If you take someone who is already predisposed to violent outbreaks (particularly against women) and they watch nothing but gangbangs and whatever else, I think that their brain could (and mostly likely is) rewired in a way. That being said; if you, I or Joe Blow down the street watch nothing but (insert porn actress here) being tied down and taking 37 cocks in every hole while she cries, we're not going to associate that with sexual gratification. Serial killers are more often than not sociopaths with no empathy or remorse, at least at the time. Now if you were to expose someone, we'll just say a little more unstable, than you or I to the same porn, they might have more of a problem. There is always the exception that proves the rule. The sick fuckers who kill someone, have sex with their dead body then throw it in the freezer to "enjoy" later? It's undoubtedly sexual for them and steams from some deep mental scarring or horrendous sexual abuse. So I suppose, see what I said above. Again, my personal view. I just don't think porn by itself will make you the next Ted Bundy. There's always going to be someone wanting to explain away what some sick fuck did. Sick acts have been blamed on books, music, TV, movies and video games. Pornography is no different to me. Any of the previously mentioned things can potentially set off a chain reaction in an already unhinged mind. What's disappointing is that we're debating about porn's impact on (who I think we all can agree are) sick fucks. The average every day (SANE!) person isn't going to start offing people because they're seeking a bigger and better sense of sexual gratification.

Crikes™ Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) It really depends to be honest. If you watch child porn then you're fucking crazy, If you watch normal porn it's alright. So no answer, really. But, that's why we have Hentai. Hentai is pretty much for the people who don't want anybody in real life to get hurt. But that's just my opinion.

twiggadoodledoo Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 See, I don't understand that it can be that harmful in a fully grown adult ? If I finish work early I may consider watching some, but then still be in the mood for sex when in in bed with the girlfriend at night. I think the original quote in your statement Nazza is depicting that everyone is the same. I could have sex all day long and still have a Tommy tank, and visa versa (to be blunt) so in my opinion, no I don't think it's harmful in a fully grown adults. But. It can be very harmful to the minds of children who already may have a screw loose. It takes a lot to rape someone because you want to "try it out", I never did when I was 13 and with my mates.

Tamer™ Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I've watched it since I was 11 and to be honest since then it's had like 0 effect on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delete Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 I guess it affects more young people, if they're young (e.g. 11-13) then it can seriously re-wire their minds. Like The Don said, they may get tired of normal porn and start watching stuff like rape, hardcore, animal, children, etc. A couple of years ago (I must have been 15 or 16) I used to be friends with this guy, he seemed normal but once he started watching porn he was really weird. Whenever he got the chance he'd stare at girls' asses (not just stare, get up close to one when they bent over in school), he air grinded on a girls ass (If that makes sense? He pretty much pretended to grind on her ass but he was about 30cm away from her ass), he used to try and feel their legs, etc. Porn is fantasy based, but if you don't have self-control or moderation then it can fuck things up for you in real life. Yes it is harmful. It is the one thing all serial killers have in common. I guess it could, but I don't see them wanting to kill people because they used to watch porn. Rape is definitely a possibility, but then again people may want a bigger "high"/"release" and go on to murder. Do you know any more about it? It seems interesting, I may look into it.

Dead-Account Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm guessing that porn can be bad but it also depends on the persons life/mindset to make it worse so if a normal kid in a healthy family is exposed to it he should be alright while a slightly disturbed kid who didn't have a good household will turn violent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
