I'm sure you already know the benefits of porn to your sex life. To many of you, Pornhub is what Youtube is to the rest of us. But are you aware of the negative effects of watching porn?
Now, don't get me wrong, no one is saying that when you watch a porn video you should close your eyes, run in circles, scream or shout. But frequent viewing of pornographic videos can negatively affect you as an individual and have an extremely unfavorable impact on your relationships.
Yes, I know you think watching two professional actors beat each other up can teach you a thing or two, but don't you think you should know how it can affect your brain and your sex life?
Life is hard. Sex is hard
Life can be hard sometimes, and yes, so can sex. But does it always have to be this way? Well, according to pornography, sex leads to orgasm. Yes, there is no "love me tender, love me sweet" the way porn stars understand and deliver it.
Remember when you used to gently touch your partner and make love on a cold winter night? I bet none of you remember, because the image of sex is deeply mixed. Yes, we all love a quickie, but... if you want to connect with each other, you should replace "orgasm waiting" with enjoying your bodies together.
Regular sex is so boring
It is not like that? Just like going out without getting drunk is for an alcoholic. And the worst part is that you get used to all the things you see, just like an alcoholic's body gets used to its drink of choice and needs something else, something much harder.
So, you are taught that sex is about the body and to feel good you need something new, something stronger every time. While I strongly believe that spicing things up is fantastic, letting porn make you forget about intimacy and human connection is the boring part.
Instead of getting lost in bed with your partner or someone you like, you let porn tell you what your fantasies are. Again, don't get me wrong. Watching it once in a while never hurt anyone, but letting things get out of hand can end up killing your libido!
Why are you sexually lazy?
Have you noticed that in porn, everyone is always turned on? Of course I am! That's what the movie is about, isn't it? Well, real life is different and you should put in some effort to wake someone up. People are not automatons!
So, if you want to please someone completely, you should forget about the "more action and less foreplay" idea that you get from your kinky movies. Jumping on someone without warning is not sexy or exciting. Life is not just a porn movie!
Porn also affects people individually
You might say, "What if I'm single?" Well, you don't have to be married or in a long-term relationship to be a disappointment in bed, do you? You watch porn but have sex with women you meet, meet on Tinder or hot escorts, not the ones you see on the screen.
Also, porn affects you as a person, not just your relationships with others. From this addiction you end up in a constant search for something weirder and more perverted. In addition, it appears that men who watch a huge amount of porn tend to sexually objectify women and tolerate abnormal behavior such as sexual assault and even rape.
Creating an emotional connection with an artificial world cannot help you bond with real people. Unfortunately, the fake relationship and the idea that porn fulfills your deepest fantasies ends up making people feel less excited, with nothing else to enjoy.
Yes, like many other substances, porn creates an appetite for itself. And it's not about good and bad, it's about the dangers that regular porn viewing can bring to people's lives. And the most targeted are young people.
Remember that sex is an action that connects people, not only through their bodies. I'm not being cheesy and saying you have to be madly in love or in a long-term relationship to feel human connection. Seeing a sexy courtesan can bring you the satisfaction of an emotional encounter whenever you feel lonely.
However, if you expect all your sex sessions to be like Pornhub, you are living "in your screen" man, and no faithful wife, loving girlfriend, or talented escort can save you from yourself. No, I'm not against porn because it can spice things up from time to time! However, just like anything else, it should be...used sparingly!
