I have seen a lot of things on the internet saying how unhealthy watching porn is. I know that some people can become quite addicted spending hours a day watching it and allowing this to ruin relationships but do you also think that the moderate watching is unhealthy as well?
I have also seen how it can rewire your brain and change the way we think. If you think about it what we have access to now is quite unnatural. I would love to hear what you guys think!
I feel modern porn gives unhealthy ideas which can cause problems
Such things as always being hairless
Always being able to slide a massive cock into a tiny vagina /arse
Massive cum shots and the idea the man always end shooting his load in her mouth
While watching porn can help turn you on I consider it can be wrong
I dont think its unhealthy more just unrealistic in terms of daily life. That said amateur stuff is real life so more realistic so to speak
I think that provided that deep down you realise that most of it isnât real and therefore certain parts are amplified (huge cocks, hourglass figures, etc) and that they are average or possibly healthy bodies then itâs ok. I guess even I as the owner of a pretty average body but with image issues have occasionally felt like Iâm not good enough as a result 
Exactly as âbroomâ says above. So long as you realise that itâs not realistic and real life really isnât like that I donât see it as a problem.
The danger arises when younger people view this type of pornography and it distorts their perception of what sex should be like.
On a personal note I watch pornography to get new ideas, some of which we have incorporated into our own relationship.
If it was in a perfect world then yes Iâd say porn shouldnât exist but as weâre in what we are, then viewing in moderation is the key and to keep a realistic approach to what it is your seeing. I do believe kids shouldnât see porn until theyâre at least in later teens and most of their hormonal changes have settled.
Exactly. Ive spoken to my teenage son for years about porn. No matter what parental controls i had on his devices he will still find a way so we talked about how it isnt real (well most of the time) and what happens in the real world. This has resulted in very sex positive conversations about questions he has and how to treat your partner etc.
I think everything in moderationâŚ
I agree, especially with younger people watching it and expecting sex to be just like they see. It can definitely start some unhealthy thoughts about what is normal.
What do you to believe to be moderation just out of curiosity?
That is great you sound like a great parent!!
I think it is fine in moderation and as along as you remember 95% of it is fake then crack on. But if it is affecting your daily life or you then go into sex thinking it is like porn then it is unhealthy.
I donât think itâs unhealthy, itâs fantasy. It should be used to tantalise and to offer suggestions and alternatives. It lets you into a world that youâre intrigued by, but from a safe distance. Iâve used it for research, to get new ideas, and I much prefer amateur, I canât stand fake, over the top orgasms.
The danger comes when people think that itâs true to life and that the images of the bodies portrayed are constitutes âsexyâ. And that the scenes theyâre watching are âhow its doneâ especially bdsm.
But is that porns fault, when ultimately its purpose is for fantasy? Supply and demand. Or the viewers, who donât have the emotional intelligence to understand the difference between fantasy and real life? Iâm going with the viewers.
Iâve got quite a strong mind and lots of determination. I do well in some fitness events that I train for and sports etc and have had a few quite challenging jobs. I can dissociate and watch porn just for a turn on to help me solo time. I enjoy watching it but can go without it.
I think thereâs probably a fine line between watching it at easy the crossing the line to watching it uneasily.
We like to record ourselves and when we play MMF⌠then watch our own porn back! Canât beat it 
I use porn either as a wind down or for fantasy purposes fully knowing that itâs not ârealâ. I use it to fantasise about things I wouldnât have the guts to do in real life.
Everyone is allowed a fantasy. Doesnât matter whether you imagine it in your head whilst masturbating or watch porn.
Donât let it ruin the real thing. With the right person any type of sex is perfect
Not at tall just watched it and very much enjoyed it wilst he was away x
I think itâs like all things in life. Moderation is key.
And if not moderation, at least an awareness that every experience you have wonât be like a porn episode. Even if youâve lived those experiences in the past.
Itâs the number one cause of ED in Men under 25 in the U.S. (while actually attempting intercourse with a partner). I read an article on this almost 10-15 years ago and simply didnât understand how that was possible. Maybe Iâm just insatiably horny admittedly.
Apparently a lot of âyoung men,â canât separate the fantasy from the real and have done so much manual stimulation to the moreâŚâthatâs extreme,â categories they are unable toâŚrise to the occasion without that playing. With a real woman/whatever preference or partner laying right in front of them.
Personally. I love it. And I love the SWs who make it possible. Luckily my GF does as well. Kind of a ânot coincidence.â Infer from that what you will. 
I wonât link the site name since itâs a competitor, but LoveHoney sells their products for âremote play.â
They just launched an interactive Porn Mecca where real pornstars are filming new videos daily (the email guaranteed 8 daily minimum), that allow you to both see and feel what the pornstar is doing (with VR) and the ability to link remote play toys which stimulate you in tandem with the interactive VR porn experience.
The toys in question are pretty outstanding. I have almost all of them, meaning well over 2,000$ MSRP. Iâve met people on the built in app control platform for the toys in question for my GF to watch and be amused and have met them in real life on some occasions later as well.
I showed her the email I got last week announcing their new interactive porn membership , and told her âIf people think Porn is bad, wait until they see this.â
I will not. However. Be paying the monthly membership fee for their âInteractive VR PornHub.â
No. But I think awareness in what you are consuming is important. Itâs like⌠having a drink is fine. Being an alcoholic isnât.
Iâm biased because I make porn for a living, but I genuinely think itâs not unhealthy to watch porn. I think if you watch it responsibly then itâs a nice recreational activity. My boyfriend also watches porn (including the porn he and I make together) to get off on his lonesome, but heâs able to differentiate between things on the screen and our personal sex life. To be honest I think most people are able to make that differentiation quite easily 
For me porn is fantasy, just like a novel. We donât think the things in novels are real, same goes for porn. People who have sex irl know you can just sneakily slide into an arse without warmup for instance, but in fantasy land this happens 
The things I record are also of course fantasy, and Iâm 110% my viewers know that.
Just out of curiousity, how does that contribute to the point of the thread?
