Motivating facts against Porn

Hey all,

recently I've posted a reply on another topic and I thought it would be helpful to share this with you since it is really detailed and might be helpful for you. It is about disadvantages of porn in different fields.


The effects in the consumer´s site
1) cognitive degradation: The science of porn is pretty simple. The instinctive reaction of the ancient part of our brain to sexual content is used, in order to make money. This reaction of the ancient part is - towards sexual content much more intense in man´s brain than in woman´s, this is why the porn-industry is extremely male-dominated, in consumers and producers site. The part of your brain that presses against this ancient part in your decision-making is the cognitive part. This can be found in the Frontal lobe of your brain - it is the seat of your individual personality. This is the part of your brain that helps you to make rational and objective decisions like following morals etc. and differ between right and wrong. The ancient part is only interested in your "survival". Any sexual content is associated with a possible sexual partner. What´s the deal with this? ==> with every time you give up against your "ancient needs", you work against your Frontal lobe. On the long term, this dismantles your ability to make objective and well-thought decisions. This is why many sex-addicts react excessively when they see a "sexy" woman in the public. They get triggered, start having sex-fantasies with her and sometimes even directly insult her. In extreme cases, this can lead to raping a person. In other words: You have no more empathy towards women, you objectify them. Why? Because you fell victim to your ancient brain and have no more control over your Frontal lobe. Resisting to porn actively, no matter what happens and no matter how strong the urge is, is a training for your Frontal lobe. Or have you ever watched porn independently of this "instinctive urge"? I don't know anyone who decides this with his Frontal lobe

2)Damaging of self-esteem, relationships, reality distort: The porn-world has almost nothing in common with the real word. Actress often have unnatural cosmetic procedures in order to maximize the sexual arouse of the viewers. But 90% of all woman do not fit to this "ideal". This is why porn-addicts, in a relationship, negatively influence their partner. They often can't find this "ideal" in them. Sex gets uninteresting anymore, the partner gets desperate and blames herself for this. She might not look good enough. So she gets depressed or makes consmetic procedures in order to fit to these "ideals". Same can be said for men. It is not natural that a man is sexually stimulated for 40 minutes non-stop. Also it is not natural to have over 10 orgasms in a row. The male porn actors often take drugs that artificially stimulate them. The consumers often don't know this, so it damages their self-confidence.

3)Dangerous addiction: Since porn has a strong effect on your ancient brain and releases very much Dopamin, you easily get in a vicious circle. Your source of happyness is porn from now on. Not your hobby, not your partner and also not your career goals. Your life decisions get limited to this primitive desire. The addictive potential of porn is comparable with drugs like heroin or alcohole.

4)Porn makes you less senitive: In 20-21th century US-wars, the army used to show to soldiers pornographic material because it would make them less empathic towards their victims. Torturing and killing their victims and opponents would be easier. This can also be seen at public schools. Pupils who are obsessed of pornographic material, more often tend to insult other pupil and be aggressive towards them.

Effects on the producers side
1) Porn damages the dignity and well-being of actors, especially women: Interviews with porn-actors often reveal that it's not always fun and that it can often even get really nasty. Sexual practices in porn - following to many insider-interviews - are even painful. For example, Anal-Sex but also forms of Oral-Sex. In order to kill the pain, porn stars would often drink alcohol before the scenes or even take heroin. If actress wouldn't follow the instructions of the director, they wouldn't get payed and even get insulted. These harsh circumstances also led to suicides in the porn-industry. Just google it. Also there are many black sheeps in porn industry. How do you know that a producer is not associated with child-porn or even kinds of sex-slavery?It's rare, but there is also not much control about it, like for food, for example. For fair porn, you must pay. And even this kind of porn is not always fair.

2)Porn is a big health-risk for actors: There are over hundered of cases of HIV that have resulted due to a lack of health care in porn industry. Tests only make a statement of the last 3 weeks. Many thousands suffer Herpes in the Anal-Region and in the Mouth-region. These Herpes-Viruses can also cause Larynx- and Uterus-Cancer. Women who have sexual intercourse with more than three partners have a much higher risk to get these kind of cancer diseases. Also other diseases like Syphilis are not very rare in the porn-industry. Also with man. The reason for this is simple: Regulary health proofs are expensive and its not attractive to use condomes in a pornvideo. The risk is much higher in Amateur-Porn. Also because of the infectious kinds of sexual practices in porn it is probable to get some of these diseases in the lifetime.

3) Mainstream Porn is anti-feminstic: Did you notice how men often treat women in porn? They are the "dominators". In porn, man and woman are not on the same level. If you don't want to support this, you must watch feminstic porn which also has the problem of "objectification" in it.

So, I think these are some of the most important facts against porn. Of course, there are people who like doing porn. But most aren't and under the line it shouldn't be supported (in my opinion) This is why my personal goal is quitting porn forever.

I hope I could help you, thank you for reading!
