Been reading that porn can be good for you, Opinions?

You'd also find articles online claiming that smoking in extreme moderation is good for you.

But, that may be the case.

 

What are these sources? I wonder if they're referring to prostate health.

 

Please feel free to site your sources here.. I prefer APA, but if you must use AMA, I can work around that. I can only state that I cannot look at porn in moderation, and pornography has been a mal-adaptive coping strategy, that I have been going to for over 40 years.

 

no. my question is can you consume porn in moderation?

 

Even if you could in moderation, what's the point and why would you want to?

 

I wouldn't smoke crack in moderation would you @Sarah Walker?

 

Nah that doesn't sound like a good idea mate. lol

 

They are a tad correct.

Anything in moderation is good, but for all things, the moderation threshold differs. It just happens that porn's threshold is at 0. In other words, the amount of porn consumed to be moderate is exactly 0. Anything above that is too much and is in turn detrimental.

 

But he has trustable sources!

 

Where do you get that idea? That's just simply not true at all. Especially when their claim is that it's "healthy" for you, not just that it's acceptable or fine or neutral.

I can't see how porn could possibly be healthy for anyone, even in moderation. I could see how it could be considered harmless in moderation (although I still personally disagree with that), but healthy? How? One can argue masturbation in moderation is healthy for you, but porn?

 

My second paragraph

 

@MLMVSS I hadn't read your whole comment yet. Lol I still disagree with the stand-alone statement "anything in moderation is good," though, but that would be arguing semantics.

 

and plus isn't "extreme moderation" a contradiction in itself? to say porn is good by any stretch of the imagination is reaching for sure. At the end of the day we all wanna justify something in order to keep doing it

 

Sorry, a poor attempt at a joke, which is why I don't do it all too much

 

Where are these supposed sources? And how are they "trustable" in any shape or form? Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true.

 

well if it's on the internet it must be true!

 

Okay I found the first thing claiming that porn is good for you. Interestingly enough I couldn’t find anything more legitimate than it, and the next best thing was a huffington post article. Yup. So here we go. The place I got it from: http://www.puckermob.com/relationships/relax-prudes-10-rasons-pornography-is-actually-good-for-you

High Libido: So it’s badly written, and hard to tell if it’s saying it gives you a high libido or it’s a sign of high libido.
—>If it’s a sign of high libido, good for you, that doesn’t mean it gives health . benefits, it just is a sign of being healthy (lol)
—>I know it does increase your libido - for porn. :/ Fat lot of good that is.

Catharsis: Okay this person doesn’t know what catharsis is. What was described in the article was basically pity masturbating after a break up... and you can do that without porn. Plus how is that even a healthy thing, it’s just there.

Porn inspires fantasy: Yeah, it was really healthy for me to have fantasies that are frankly disturbing, I’m not gonna say what they were because triggering stuff, but suffice it to say it wasn’t stuff you can find on the “normal” porn sites, and I’ll forever be disgusted at that. I don’t see how those fantasies can be good for you in your sex life or anything, or if you don’t have one. Fantasise on your own. It’s not imagination if you just passively watch.

Non-addictive: HAH! I don’t think I need to even discuss this one here lol.

Stress-Relieving: Uhh, sure for a little, until you realise that you just literally and metaphorically fucked yourself.

Hangups be damned!: So basically it said some weird bullshit and then concluded that porn leads to having more open sex conversations with your partner. Okay, so how does this explain all the people who have been heartbroken by partners lying to them about porn use?

Marriage helper: ... I’m starting to think I should have gone with huffpost, because the explanation for this was dumber than you’d even expect given the title.

Women dig it: Ah yes, ye olde “women can like it too!” thing. Uh... yeah women can like porn... so what? And most women I’ve ever met think it’s disgusting lol.

Decreases sex crimes: Okay, this one is backed by science, but you know a solution other than watching porn? Just don’t do sex crimes.

It feels awesome: Uh, it does release dopamine. That’s directly related to what makes it NOT good for you though.

 

Once you go through the torture and trials porn puts you through and actually try to give it up for good, it's only then you can see past all the bollocks and crap people make up.

Like seriously, all that stuff you posted is mind-boggling, It sounds like they lost the plot and are in some deep denial issues. It's disturbing when these sites put out junk like this actually trying to encourage people to watch porn.
