does porn have negative effects?

[ChillyMcHotpants]

i don't mean on the people in the industry themselves.
do you think it is possible that watching pornography has negative effects, mentally, physically, psychosocially?
can pornography truly inspire ted bundys out there? acting out violent fantasies instilled by porn as he claimed days before his execution?
is it just simple entertainment and the people who take it too far are the same as alcoholics vs casual drinkers.
tell me what you think.

Watching too much is bad for your eyes. I've heard a rumor going around that if you jack off too much you go blind. I've never seen it happen, but I'm guessing those guys sat to close to screen.

Don't people get problems getting it up because they build a tolerance to sexual stimuli

Other than realistic expectations (which is the first thing most people say, but still people get angered over actual people not acting like the ones in porn, which is perplexing), you could treat watching pornography as an addiction in some people's minds. Abusing it consistently and at a ferocious degree could certainly lead to an insatiable craving, but that is only in one light.

It could possibly affect your perceptions and representation of social and emotional relationships to specific groups, yes.

Anything in excess has potential to be bad. Just take everything, including porn, in moderation.

It does help explore ones sexuality and preference.

I can still get it up If I stare at a cute chick's hands too long.

[Satan]

As long as you aren't a fucking idiot, I doubt that porn will encourage you to go out murder-raping.

You mean women don't actually like to have their heads held in the toilet while taking it up the ass?

It'd be like Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde.

Its a teenager thang, then you grow up. You are excused if you are a horny teenager to say the least.

[Sensationalism]

Context. In some contexts yes and in others no.

[Painbringer]

It must negative health effects if minors aren't allowed to use it.

Like, why else would they put age limits on things like alcohol and tobacco?

[TitusRyland]

Too much of anything can be bad. So i guess it could have negative effects.

[RacistBassist]

Heard the other day that porn increases sexual aggression in those that watch it, but I never really followed up if it was true or not.

[Vinnyy]

Every time you watch porn it becomes more and more difficult for you to get turned on, because your immunity towards sexual stimuli grows stronger.

^this but it really varies from person to person and where you start out on the fetish spectrum/kinsley scale.
