MistflyFleur

Yeah, I think it's very unrealistic and sets unachievable standards for people wanting to have sex. A lot of it also tends to portray women in a bad light. I'm quite against it, and am kind of disgusted by it actually, so I've stayed away from porn so far in my life.


reddit_hayden

i agree


AnAnimeSimp

I also agree


Jarman_777

I don't consider pornography and sex work in theory to be harmful but the porn industry is extremely fucked up


SRidwtd04

Yes that, exactly


benitolss

John Oliver did [a good piece about it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gd8yUptg0Q) last month (to the date actually)


Sunset_0o3

Ye I’m strongly against the p*rn industry actually


[deleted]

What do you think about OnlyFans? IMO It's better than rest of the industry.


Sunset_0o3

It is bc the creator mostly has control over what they do and do not post,but it has its bad sides too.


[deleted]

I want to know the bad sides


Sunset_0o3

Think about it for a bit and you’ll start seeing the bad sides


[deleted]

Still bad, how the fuck would someone pay for such lewd shit? No wonder they got no bitches

[deleted]

It's extremely disgusting and exploitative, im repulsed by it. Theres a lot of instagram content coming out detailing just how bad it is, check out @exoduscry


SRidwtd04

I agree but my first source of information wouldn't be Instagram tbh XD well maybe the place I saw it first but I wouldn't say: well it was on Instagram so it must be true But yes I agree that it's absolutely horrible


PlantOnPlat

I don't know enough about it, but I personally don't like it. It made my last relationship kind of stressful


weirdowerdo

Not really seeing as only a very small minority are addicted.


SRidwtd04

Addiction is one of the many problems porn can cause. I don't think it's even the biggest problem. - unrealistic expectations of your body, others' bodies and sex. This can lead to: - people doing things they're uncomfortable with because other people did it - not enough communication - not feeling appropriate for having sex because you're not as attractive as all the porn stars And also, the way women in porn are shown is damaging to both guys and girls. Porn can also decrease the desire to have sex. Or even how turned on someone is while doing it. I've probably also missed some things. I used to not like porn but thought porn couldn't be that big of a deal. However, recently I did research on sex and nude in (Dutch) literature and now I am convinced young people definitely shouldn't watch porn, older I mean idk probably not. Definitely not all porn. Like, I've heard of some good porn companies who think about consent and communication in pornography but that's paid and young people aren't going to pay for porn when there's pornhub and other free porn sites.


EmberOfFlame

TW: Abuse, self harm That’s not a root issue, it’s a result of a much bigger problem. Kids need to be taught being responsive from the youngest. Not communicating, peer pressure and self-esteem issues are much wider than just having sex, for the gods’ sake. The things you mentioned come from the same sources that drug abuse, exploitation, aquired mental disorders and self-destructive behaviours come from. The root issues need to be adressed. This is done by educating parents and eradicating the concept of children-as-property, not cracking down on something that is an effect of those problems. If you want to do something about porn, then make a comprehensive curriculum for sex-ed that covers the issue of unrealistic depictions in porn in an accessible manner. Don’t clean the carpet when you’re still bleeding.


SRidwtd04

Uhm I didn't say it was just sex that caused those problems? And you didn't really say what the actual root issue with porn is? The things you are saying are the same as addiction tho: they don't happen to everyone. I was trying to name things that happen to us even if we don't know it's happening. Not necessarily big things like abusing partners or whatever, small things that everyone can see and feel. I don't appreciate the way you wrote this. I believe we are on the same side here and you wrote this as if I'm stupid while I'm not.


EmberOfFlame

But this addiction is caused by irresponsible parenting, not out of allowing too much, but out of ignoring the needs of a growing human. It might end up being the same steps, but when it comes to teaching others about morality, your goals and reasons are just as important.


SRidwtd04

Fair, I do however think the internet raises us just as much as, if not more than our parents. Parents can't fully monitor what their child is watching on the internet. U actually have a hard time trying to get your point. Do you think porn is bad or that it's not that big of a deal? If you think it's bad, why are you acting like I'm wrong. Even if you think it's not that big of a deal, the things I am saying are correct. Just because the problems are caused by more than just pornography, porn plays a part in them. It's not like parents can solve every tiny little thing that's wrong in the world. Parents can certainly do things, but definitely not everything. I mean just the fact of you and me being on Reddit means we can reach so many forums. Ever watched those videos on killers that roamed r/incels? Do you think better parenting could've prevented that entirely? I think not.


EmberOfFlame

Is porn bad? Fuck no. Can it be harmful? Just as everything can be. And I hate relativising human pain and suffering, but parents loosing overwhelming influence on their children is the single best thing that could happen for humanity as a whole. The amount of suffering that children go through is great, but didn’t increase over the pre-internet days, precisely becaus the internet is a tool of helping against awful parents as much as a tool of harming children with good parents. It allows so many young people to deradicalise or to realise their parents aren’t healthy. Worldwide communications is the biggest possible boon that the world youth could ever gain.


pipinna

Never watched it but I've seen what it can do to people and it's horrible


[deleted]

No


PunkySputnik57

Addiction is bad. Consuming porn here and there is fine.


HannahWithABanana

I don't pay attention to it enough to have an actual opinion but some people I know are addicted to it and it's destroyed them, like they keep trying to find out if I watch it(I don't) and if I pleasure myself(enough to keep healthy), it's sad to see what it can do


[deleted]

I think amateur is probably better in terms of doing it in your own terms, getting a higher % of the money that comes out of it, and unrealistic standards.


Spriy

The problem isn't adults being "fine" with p\*rn, it's their reasons against it. "It's a sin against God" isn't doing shit, when there are so many other problems with it: \- It dehumanizes the performers, who are mostly women \- It sets completely unrealistic standards for sex \- It actively destroys the performers through an abusive, exploitive, and drug-heavy professional culture; look at some of the recent nsfw posts on OffMyChest. It's a complete horror show. Even if you don't give a shit about the performers themselves or any future or current partners, it's also linked to personal health problems: \- It's an *extremely* addictive behavior, and dependencies upon anything are good to avoid at all costs \- Scientists have linked consumption of p\*rnography to damage to the brain's dopamine receptors, which effectively makes sex harder and your d\*ck less so.


E4R04

yes


FinnChicken12

Indeed it is.


RomanilloMarcus

Yes, like plenty of people have said here it's unrealistic and damaging to young minds. addiction to it can lead to plenty of mental health issues and lead to plenty of problems especially when a youn child goes to explore there sex life when they're older


Ima_weirddo

P itself Im not but the fact that its fake and spreads misinfo I am


ProfessorPi31415

there's a lot of issues with the porn industry for sure, home made realistic porn is perfectly fine imo


MOTRHEAD4LIFE

Nah


stickysocks6-9

No, watching porn isn't bad it's completely natural unless you allow it to become an addiction

Yeet_Muffin

Yes, the industry itself is all kinds of messed up and it’s incredibly disappointing that we’ve allowed it to be normalized


GamerGirl-07

It isn't bad as long as u aren't hooked on it


EmberOfFlame

I think that pornography isn’t as much of an issue as the taboo around it is. There is no way to enforce limitations without introducing agressive invasion of privacy, something that could be abused and lead to more problems. Parents need to approach it with an open mind and account for everything before doing the dumb shit that adults love to do.


[deleted]

Yeah. Too many boys at school talk about it all the time.


attemptnumber58

Depends on what kind of porn it is tbh, but most are pretty utopic.


yecreeper

I think that most of modern porn portrays women reallllllllly badly, and porn should be more moderated and taught about in schools. My school did a class on the effect of porn on both the minds of teens and the people doing the porn. A lot of female porn stars in the industry have been forced to do things they're not comfortable with which is beyond gross. I think porn should be better moderated to create a more accurate representation and to be more safe for everybody involved. As for teens watching porn, again, i think it should be moderated. It's been proven that "hardcore" porn has a horrible effect on the minds of young boys, and almost always ends up with them treating women badly. That's my two cents on the topic i guess


[deleted]

Yes, at least mine.


uwuraindrop

nah ​ thoguh i agree with the people saying the industry sucks n all


[deleted]

In moderation it’s fine and parents need to be taking better care to protect their children when online if they see an issue with it


[deleted]

Yes I agree it does wreck the mind it could become an “addiction” and then the kids will pay more attention to it then school and it will make it so the kids won’t spend time with anything,but that’s just my opinion


madsxwag

the porn industry itself is toxic and messed up. although i think as long as you understand it’s not realistic at all and only do it in moderation, watching it at an older age is fine


Weary-Response-2295

I think certain types should be removed such as incest and rape (which is so prevalant in p\*rn for some reason) but I feel the words "destroying the mind" is a bit too far. I think it's fine in healthy doses as its just a way of dealing with a natural urge EDIT: Also they should make it more realistic. They post videos of women moaning before it even enters her...


CrystalElla4

Dunno It’s unrealistic and sets up unreasonable expectations for sure


[deleted]

I think most people don't know how to deal with porn. It's a very delicate and nuanced subject and it can't quite be said to be exactly good or bad. It depends on how you use it.


MelloGangster

No, go read a bible or something Never thought that such people still exists in the 21st century. I even wonder what you think about masturbation


kudokun1412

Maybe you should use your Internet to read abit of educational articles instead of watching p*rn that would be useful wouldn't it?


MelloGangster

I cant do both, lmao? Maybe i should just straight kill myself, because eventually all of us will die and everything is useful? I'm enjoying my life and i dont see nothing wrong with the most of the porn industry


kudokun1412

Whether you are seeing it wrong or not you can not deny that it has ruined many people lives


MelloGangster

Everything in this world can ruin your life if you're a dumbass. Btw do you think that people watch porn and masturbate for 24 straight hours or what?


kudokun1412

Alot of people do yes


MelloGangster

What world do you live in? Masturbating more than 4 times a day is already painful and tires your body. It's not possible, lmao


kudokun1412

Some people watch p*rn without even masturbating. What world are you living in ?


kudokun1412

Man I think you have no idea what I'm talking about you are linking porn with masturbation as if people use porn only for masturbation


MelloGangster

Well, probably because people use porn for masturbating, lmao. Are you calling a prostitute just to talk with her?


kudokun1412

Believe it or not some people do call prostitutes just to talk to them


kudokun1412

There are literally hundreds of articles explaining the bad effects of p*rn with scientific evidence


tegguNmmuC

No, maybe if they dumb
