I have read several articles over the last few years that discuss pornography. There is one camp that basically says something like "the evidence suggests that when we try to suppress things like porn, they just get worse". The other camp suggests that while porn may not be bad in and of itself, it may be wise to consider the consequences on one's specific life. And I'm sure we could all find all kinds of info about the consequences of porn on individuals.
Besides the intimacy/commitment argument, another argument that makes a lot of sense to me, is that
.... Think about how often our ancient ancestors saw sex acts. And now think about how many sex acts one can see in 10 minutes, if one so desires.
Viewing a lot of porn, is the equivalent of eating tons of sugar because it tastes so good. |
To me, porn is worse than eating a lot of sugar because it tastes good as it doesn't only affect the people themselves but also their partner and people around them.
People are free to watch it but they shouldn't pretend it doesn't bring problems. It bring a whole load of problems.
It is easy to fall in an addiction and hard to get out of it. Porn is free, a therapist is not.
And I believe there are a lot of people who are not okay with their partner watching it, even though they pretend to be totally cool with it "everybody does it" type of mentality.
