Porn has become a prevalent and sensitive issue in the modern world.

There are at least two sides to every issue. Lets first take a look at this general list of Pros and Cons regarding this subject.

Pros:
– Gives a side of sexuality that would otherwise porn list be unattainable to those who are too socially inept or physically unattractive to ever get laid on their own.
– Gives actors/actresses, film producers, directors, writers, etc. who never got a make their blockbuster movie a chance to be on the screens and in many cases, feel accomplished; thereby adding meaning to their lives.
– Generates insane revenue thereby adding to the expansion of the economy.
– In relation to the expansion of pornographic visuals, other streams of revenue have been created – sexual paraphernalia, porn blocking software, anti-porn groups (everything costs $!!)

Cons:
– Young children are losing their innocence way too early.
– Degrading to people in the films – especially the actresses; essentially this is just prostitution on film… with which some women might just be doing as a means to an end.
– Numerous psychological implications affecting both the person watching porn as well as his/her relationship(s) with their lovers.
– Could potentially become addictive and have detrimental effects to both your physical wellbeing as well as your mentality.

As noted above, there are several positive aspects of the adult industry. However, each of the points can be twisted into the opposite perspective. A guy not getting laid and watching copious amounts of porn would be too lazy to venture out of this comfort zone; porn would essentially deter him from finding a real mate. The film industry that couldn’t make Hollywood and instead “settled” for porn can also perhaps attribute to a lack of drive that otherwise would have been present had the ease of doing porn had not been there. Although tonnes of revenue are generated, the flow of these funds are towards persons/organizations that are not of the pornlist most reputable kind; although they may spend portions of this money on luxuries that help fuel other business growth, most of these capital is re-invested back into the system promoting prostitution, drug abuse and other associated activities. The final point I have in my “Pros” column is perhaps the most legitimate in that porn does help promote for companies who provide sexual knickknacks used in the privacy of one’s home where no one is being abused or taken advantage of.

I won’t bother trying to flip the points in my “Cons” column into pros… I don’t think there are any pros of having a child be exposed to porn. Sexual maturity is reached naturally and through proper education discussion whether it be at school or with parents who can carefully explain how the storks who deliver babies do not exist. However, on a clearly positive note, despite the apparent negativity, there is a positive spin-off in that porn has been shown to reduce the amount of sexual assaults in society. This makes sense in that perverted maniacs who are desperate for action are kept in check; satisfying their dark desires thereby keeping them from transpiring into reality. There are other studies that go to show that in some cultures, porn is more widely accepted and perceived differently. Many would suggest that it can be used as an aphrodisiac, self-awareness, and a resource for sexual education.

All that being said, my opinion is still that the negative effects of pornography on society as a whole overshadow the positive. In general, due to many other reasons and scientific explanations that I won’t get into in this article, the porn industry has generated a twisted view on intercourse. I highly doubt in medieval times that ejaculating onto a woman’s face was common practice; God/Nature (whatever you believe created us humans) would deem it a waste. It has given people (mostly men) unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, it has desensitized sexual stimulation resulting in a higher likelihood of boredom in the sac. It’s a common piece of knowledge that everything life has to offer is a poison and that moderation is key. This rings especially true to the guilty pleasure of watching porno films. Like substance abuse, gambling and other addictive activities that generate a rush of adrenaline/endorphins in the brain, one of the best ways to approach your ‘rehab’ is to go ‘cold turkey’. A porno blocking software can help you or your loved ones in this recovery abstinence process. Other exercises like meditation, physical workouts, or even classes/counseling can help with one’s self-discipline. In the end that’s what it’s really all about – self-control.
