Psychologists say porn addicts behave like any other drug addicts.
It is pretty addictive. And when it is not addictive, it is compulsive – a rung below addiction. People compulsively watch porn. People compulsively masturbate to it. If you do not believe this – let’s talk numbers
Porn gets more traffic than Netflix, Twitter and Amazon combined.
2.5 billion emails are sent every day that contains porn.
Child porn is the fastest growing porn business.
Teen porn is the most searched for porn on the Internet.
70% of boys began watching porn at age 10.
It’s horrible. And it is getting worse. Leaving the morals and ethics aside, every porn watcher is going through a psychological upheaval. Watching porn is not cool at all actually. It desensitizes you, makes you think that sex is just plain humping like dogs, and keeps you hooked on to the novelty of watching a different woman being humped every clip.
What else?
1. Porn’s effect on a human mind is toxic – just like cocaine
It lights up the same part of your brain that cocaine lights up. Actually pornography addicts take more time to come out of porn addiction than crack addicts take to come out of cocaine addiction.
2. It makes people prefer sadomasochistic pleasures, group sex, and sex with animals
Even when you were not thinking of them at all. This is also due to the free availibility of a vast number of videos on the Internet.
3. You start neglecting your job and sleep and in some cases, neglect your loved ones too
Neglect is the number one effect of long-term association with porn. There are many cases of neglected wives who have spoken out against porn because their husbands preferred porn over them in their partnership.
4. Sometimes, porn enthusiasts cross over to watching porn involving taboo subjects
Even if they didn’t want to – that this porn with kids, animals, faeces.
5. It causes problems in intimate life
You refrain from touching, kissing, petting because porn does not show that.
6. If this was not enough, there is a whole community online called No Fap that is present to give support to people struggling from the effects of porn
It is not even like people are not aware of the issue. People know.
7. It might not happen but 38% of women and 45% of men who are addicted to porn have an STD
There are high chances that if you are addicted to porn, you will behave in an irresponsible manner to elicit sexual relations that might lead to an STD.
8. It gives young children unrealistic expectations on what an intercourse seems like
Slapping, choking, domination, seem normal. the teens start expecting this as they think that this is what is normal.
9. You become aggressive after watching porn. And there is an increased likelihood of you indulging in sexual aggression
Porn makes you aggressive because there is no love shown in the videos. It is just video after video of male domination – nothing else.
10. It causes erectile dysfunction
It is called porn-induced erectile dysfunction.
As with everything, watching porn should be done in moderation. It can be a healthy and useful tool too. If a person didn’t know what oral sex means, they can go and look it up in a video and actually get an idea of what it is.
But anything excessive with it, and it is as good as drug abuse.
