    How harmful is it?

    Well, after hundreds of studies backed by science and research, its pretty obvious that porn creates serious effects on the brain and on relationships. Were talking here about all relationships . Friends, family, classmates, co-workers, etc. if someone is obsessed with something toxic, they can have toxic behaviors and attitudes that can affect relationships and nearly all the aspects of life.

    Research

    Dr. Jill Manning , a therapist who has worked with hundreds of pornography addicts to review the research on its effects and share what she found.

    Long term pornography use sets people up for feeling more depressed and empty than those who do not watch it. Big reason behind this is that the pleasure center in the brain gets so worn out by constant artificial stimulation that it simply stops being able to respond to more natural kinds of pleasure. Basically porn consumer start to become numb or desensitized to everyday activities that they previously enjoyed.

    Relationship inhibitor

    What about romantic partners? Theres an idea out there that porn helps to improve sexuality and make romance even more exciting, but this isn’t exactly the case. Research and countless personal accounts show the exact opposite effect. Porn creates less closeness between partners, less excitement romantically and less satisfaction in real sexual experience. Not only that but it actually increases a consumers appetite for more porn. Its almost like porn consumers cant be satisfied once they develop this kind of appetite.

    What we need in a relationship is an exciting romance, and satisfying sexual experiences in their lives. Just think of the millions of love songs, books, and movies out there inspired by the concept of love. Researchers discovered that media with “racy scenes” leads to earlier sex with more casual partners and more unsafe sex. If “ racy scenes “ have this effect think about impact of hardcore pornography.

    Unfortunately there are more serious problems that steam from pornography addiction, like having completely unrealistic expectations about sexual partners.

    Expectation killer

    Researchers recently looked at the impact of heavy exposure to sexual images on relationships over 10 years ago in 2007. Among other things the report concludes “ Exposure to narrow ideas of female attractiveness may make it difficult for some men to find an ‘acceptable partner’ or to fully enjoy intimacy with a female partner”

    For example, if you are watching endless, wild sex with young, photoshopped blonde bombshells and then you get into a relationship with Jessica who works at starbucks, how is that going to influence your ability to have a realistic, healthy relationship with her?

    In the media today “many individuals have become uncomfortable with real bodies given the pervasiveness of stereotypes” causing “ sexual attention deficit disorder” just like people with real ADD get easily distracted guys with SADD have gotten so used to the high levels of endless stimulation that theyre unable to focus on real women.

    Same thing applies to men. They begin to compare their sex life to what they see as much more glamorous and arousing on the screen.

    Susan Orbach writes “eroding individual appreciation of unaltered human form”. Basically , most male consumers are fooling themselves into believing that real girls are actually suppose to weigh 95 pounds with tiny waists and massive breasts. Another thing, did you know 70% of pornography is viewed between 9am- 5pm when most people are at work or school. Not that adding to twisting perceptions and expectations of sexuality and relationships, and the appearance of partners, the FBI statistics show that pornography is found at 80% of the scenes of violent sex crimes or in the homes of perpetrators.
