Actor-model Milind Usha Soman often takes to his Twitter handle to start discussions on various topics of interest. For instance, he previously asked why do people care ‘ki log kya sochenge’. Now, he came up with another question that sparked a discussion among Desi Twitter:
Is porn the fulfillment of a need or the solution to a problem. #popquiz

The question elicited many responses from the junta:
1. One user questioned the premise saying it is neither fulfilment, nor a solution
What do you say about this? Child porn websites having 1500-1600 hits per hour is fulfilment or solution?
Porn instigates sexual violence and sexual assault and fulfillment of the needy and the girls or women becomes the prey for those barberic activity.. pic.twitter.com/nRdh02hwIe— Sofia Sarin (@sofiasarin) July 13, 2021
2. Others reasoned that porn could be useful unless it becomes an addiction.
Porn is pleasure and learning for some. While Addictive porn is serious issue which leads to some imaginary portrayal and weakning of relationships.

Lots of people are commenting as if they haven’t or don’t watch porn any longer… 🙄🙄
It is solution to physical need! Nothing wrong in it, if kept to healthy levels, and just like every thing else, excess and misuse is harmful.

And addiction to it can make temporary solution an permanent issue.

Porn is a teacher that may give solutions to fulfilling your needs. Maybe not yours, but ones who wish to master the art of sensuality.

It is wonderful, depends who you are, what you like, and what you become. There are thousands of things to criticize in society, I find liquor is less useful as compared to #Porn

3. A temporary solution?
It’s like digging a hole to fill the another.

4. Some men pointed towards the toll of porn on mental and physical well-being
Porn is destruction of potential of whole mankind. We can achieve much more and we have to prove that we are better than animals.
Just see the experience of people on nofap Community.— Prabhat Mishra🇮🇳 (@iPrabhatMishraa) July 13, 2021
I don’t know if it is a need or solution to anything.
But it surely makes you weak both mentally and physically, It negatively affect overall quality of your life.

Its absolute poison, desctruction of soul and positive societies

Porn is bad… It spoils even the healthiest of mind. Refrain. It is another thing that at certain age porn attracts most and this is why it gets huge hits on websites.
There may be other ways for’fulfilment of need’ or ‘a solution to the problem’!!— Apurva Rai (@ApurvaRai7) July 13, 2021
5. A distraction rather than sex education
For teens without proper sex education, porn is a medium to fulfill that curiousity.
For most others, porn is a distraction to get that dopamine hit.

Before anything else, thanks for bringing this up 🙌
Also, porn is the killer of creativity.

Porn may fulfill a need but also flames desires 😀😀😀
