Effects of porn on teens and preteens

I think the only issue is perhaps these adolescents believe because of porn that sex is something fun and not dangerous and such. I mean let's face it, sex, especially for women or bottom gay men, can be painful but often except maybe in amateur porn you don't see the pain that can happen to the receptive partner, they think it's just in and OMG SO AMAZING PLEASURE lol. Plus the disease aspect is never really mentioned. They think (especially cause of bareback porn) that they can just have sex with whoever. And I'm sorry, but the small fine print warning people to be safe is not enough. Especially with adolescents and even preteens finding out newer ways to get past adult blocks and onto porn. Sure if gives them j/o material instead of having sex with someone else their age, but then when they do seek sex...they have the wrong expectations.

 

Not to mention that it can give off the idea that it can prove your sexual orientation, of course some; even myself have some doubts to that argument but I will say that it is noteworthy enough to mention.

 

Good thing i use doujinshi, it helps me use my imagination more.

But yeah, i probably have it, but i masturbate one to two times a day and i use doujin as a gateway for me to open my mind as videos aren't real sex.

I agree with Revan, I expect sex to be naural and loving, i don't expect to be amazed and satisfied as i would use it to get it to emotionally connect and get closer to a partner, that is what sex should be all about, not about just nailing someone just to nail em' but i fantasize about my crushes and it helps.

 

Quite the interesting watch. I learned some things from the video. I like how he used alot of analogies.

I do not believe I have any of the issues that were mentioned in the video, such as porn-induced ED, and constant attractions to kinkier porn. I'm pretty content with how often I do get into the mood.

 

There is a line that needs to be drawn. There is masturbation and there is self abuse...play with yourself too much you body is going to start saying 'WTF...stop playing with me'

Exposure to porn has next to nothing to do with it. When I was 12 I had access to a pile above my knees of hardcore porn mags, don't think it did me any harm, actually I am pretty bloody sure it did no harm lol

 

While I do watch porn I don't like most of it because it looks fake, impassionate, etc. I am a very emotional person so I don't look for the most hardcore stuff there is. I prefer to find the stuff that actually looks like two people making love, not just having sex.

The problem I see is that most porn just portrays sex and not love, which may cause many (especially younger people) to not realize the emotional aspect of it.

 

Yeah, the ones I watch the most are the ones that looks more real.

 

It´s about INTERNET PORN. That causes addiction. Mags don´t.

 

That video provides valid points.

 

I don't see the distinction between mags, VHS, DVD or internet porn to adolescents....it's all porn, how can it be any different because of the way it has been presented?

 

Porn mags are not anywhere on the same level as internet porn now adays, not even close. If a 12 year old spends his entire preteens watching gang bangs and bdsm rape porn he might have trouble associating arousal with vanilla stuff and that could cause distress. I just know that if i have kids im parental controlling all of our devices (excpet my own lap top lol). If they watch it at a friends or something no big deal but i dont want them to have constant exposure like i did.

Because internet has more extreme scenes as all of those you listed and you can click through them all and switch scenes every 20 seconds, it offers instant gratification when your brain is only designed for a certain amount of visual stimulation at a time.

 

I have some stand-up material about the whole porn thing and how easy kids have it today versus our parents. On a serious note, we have it so easy today. Back when our parents were kids, it took some effort to hide their porn. You had to figure out a better place to hide your Hustlers than underneath your mattress. Today, all you have to do is:

Tools > Internet Options > Clear Browsing History

 

:lol: So true. Sounds like a really good bit. That process is like second nature to me now. I close tab and ten seconds later, the computer's back on youtube. I love that ease.

When I first started watching porn nearly a decade ago, I had to be like a fucking secret agent. I would go through the guide early in the day, see what softcore crap was coming on later (and fingers crossed there was some decent girl-on-girl otherwise the mission was pointless), write down the titles/time-rerun time/channel number/air date in an unsecure journal, test the TV volumes during the day to see what level it could be where I could still hear something, but with the door closed no one outside could hear anything (lots of walking in and out of the room and standing with my ear at the door), finally manipulate my younger brother into not being in the room that night. That's not even including my grandma who liked to peek in on everyone throughout the night to see who's still up. So if one of the movies was on at a time of night she was making the rounds, oy vey, the remote stayed glued to my hands or if there was no remote, my hand was glued to cable box, which means that night my face was too close to the screen to really get into anything. :lol:

Oh man...I laugh now, but it was very stressful having to play Leverage with a one-kid team. Anything could go wrong. I was just as paranoid back then as I am now, so I'll notice the smallest things and predict that they might mess me up later and just call everything off. It could be 4 in the afternoon and my grandma would take the first dose of the medication that I know makes her have to pee a lot. If has to take it another two times that day and it's already 4, then she's gonna be up late, and the longer she's up the more she's gonna do (clean, eat, check the doors over and over) and if she sees I'm still up, she'll keep calling me to help her do chores in the middle of the night. So not only could I get caught, but even if I don't, I won't be able to relax and enjoy anything with her fucking slippers scraping against the floor every five minutes or that shrill voice calling out every 15 minutes "chil', come help your grandma wash these floors/take this out/do these clothes."

So there'd little 12 year old me be, eating my PBJ at 4 in the afternoon, watching my Grandma take her pills with some tea, then I'd just shake my head, grab my notebook and begrudgingly cross out that night's schedule from my notebook, then bury that notebook in a backpack that I then stuff in some corner of my room and bury under shoes.

Madness. Hilarious, little paranoid kid madness.

 

I think it depends alot on the person watching it. Not all wanna DO what they see, some are jsut curious, and some might find it exciting to watch different things, even stuff they would never think of actually doing themselves. So i dont think porn can litterally "ruin" a persons view on sex, its the same as blaming video games for violence in the world. Its as simple as its a game, its a movie. Simple.

 

That video had some very interesting points.

 

Ok, I'm kinda sick of these videos. I get it - watching porn is bad for me, and I shouldn't do it. The thing is, it's fucking good. Honestly, I don't really care if it causes damage, because it's enjoyable, relaxing, and personally, I don't find it addictive. The brain can repair whatever damage I cause.

I honestly didn't watch the video due to it being half an hour long, but the points are always the same.

 

I started watching when i was 10. helped me figure out i was gay, becasue i got hard watching it. and it helped me figure out some kinks

 

To Nocticula and UndercoverGypsy:

100% agree.

 

Did you listen well to what they say on the video?
The thing is your brain get conditioned (even if you don´t want to ever do it) as if what you see is the normal stuff. Therefor, what you want to do in real life doesn´t feel right for your brain and your body corresponds accordingly, meaning having trouble optaining or keeping an erection, not feeling much pleasure etc.
It´s not a concious choice, it´s how the brain works.

If you talk to guys that have been or are addicted to internetporn, you will hear the same story over and over again. They don´t get anything out of real sex.


It´s not about copying behavior or something.
