Naughty or Nice: Porn isn’t the Villain

If you don’t watch porn you will die.
How often do you hear that? Chances are you never have and you never will. In a society fascinated by sex and sexuality we teach our children, our young adults so little that we convince them their interest are not only immoral but unholy. We spend so much time defending our morals, we treat those who are curious as if they are pariahs, coming up with all sorts of reasons why what they’re doing is wrong.
The way we treat people who watch porn is one example we act as if they’re hideous and disgusting but the statistics state that we’re hypocrites. After all with a staggering 70% of men and 30% of women taking advantage of sexually explicit content found on the internet, chances are you’re one of them.
And why on earth have we made you feel as if it’s a horrible thing?
Tell me why you feel guilty viewing pornography when it’s been found by a variety of journals to be perfectly natural, healthy behavior.
When there are gender and sex positive videos out there when it’s not hurting anyone, why can’t we just enjoy ourselves as sexual beings?

    The biggest problem with porn is that it leads people who are inexperienced to think that people are really turned on by exotic things and genitals are really that large. It doesn’t display real life at all. Another huge problem occurs especially with sexually violent porn. If porn is violent, then it may lead people to believe that violence against women is ok. They see it, and if they like it, they’ll probably tell themselves, “It must be ok to do this because I like it.” It reduces cognitive dissonance in their minds. Social scientists have done studies where watching violent porn makes people more violent towards women. If porn was better regulated so that violence against women wasn’t shown, then maybe it’d actually be ok. Until then, it’s just worthless media that encourages people to believe it’s ok to blame the victim when women get raped.

      I agree with you on most accounts, and respect your opinion, but I do disagree that violent porn, which depicts women being harassed and abused, is the cause of men thinking it is “okay” to treat women like that in real life. If the porn industry is making those types of films, then there was a demand for it; porn companies are not going to spend money making a film that will have no audience. Therefore, there are men out there that are attracted to that type of sexual activity, which is the reason those types of films are being made. If you were wondering, I do not, personally, find abusing women during sex a desirable venture or pleasurable experience (I think it’s f***ed up). But the guys out there who do, will be less inclined to forcefully abuse a girl, because their desires would be, for the most part, satisfied.
      Furthermore, the size of male genitalia can realistically be that big, obviously.

    You don’t really make much of an argument. What do you mean if you don’t watch porn you will die?

    Not a well thought out article
