Pornography! They Say It Helps Sex Get Better In Marriage, But I Say It Does More Harm Than Good.

Pornography means sexually explicit materials like films, magazines, writings, photographs or other materials that are sexually explicit and intended to cause sexual   arousal.

Although, quite a number of people that have been involved in porn materials claim that it helps them spice up their sexual lives in marriage. Though no other reason has been given apart from this but the truth is that the disadvantages to marriage obviously outweighs any advantage you could ever think of. According to science, porn trains brains to release more endorphins than normal in response to an overload of sexual stimuli. After a while, depending on how long the brains have been on pornography, they develop a need for higher dose in order to achieve the same arousal. This apparently leads to more hardcore porn and higher quantities of it. It does not only limit your ability to become aroused at all, but also can limit your dopamine receptors in general, causing you to become more anxious, less social, and perhaps depressed.

Moreover, the younger you were when you began watching porn, the worse the effects would be on you. For the married, which is what I am concentrating on here, it may seem helpful even now, but I’m sure that couples who are into pornography will have a price to pay for their casual acceptance.

Below are some reasons why I would not encourage couples to go into pornography for any reason:

Ø  Pornography warps your attitudes and values! It has a dramatic effect on how you view and present women, sexual abuse, and sex in general. It also makes you develop appetite for more deviant and bizarre type of pornography which has a tendency to make you lack confidence in your marriage. It gives you the impression that sex is unrelated to love, commitment or marriage. If you get into pornography for too long, there is every tendency for you to begin to see women as valueless, ordinary tool to be used anytime to satisfy one's lust and not respected. It skews your perception of what beauty is and gives you unreasonable standards for sex with your wife/husband.

Ø  Porn and sexual abuse! The habitual consumption of pornographic materials can result in a diminished satisfaction with mild forms of porn and a correspondingly strong desire for more deviant and violent material. Abusers also use it on their victims or use it to arouse children. “This person is enjoying it, so will you.”

 

Ø  Porn destroys major sex life! Studies and observations have shown that viewing    pornography diminishes couples’ attraction to and satisfaction with their real-life partners. I remember a friend who suspected her husband was back into porn because he retarded in making love to her. And there’s another porn-addicted young man I met sometimes ago, who discovered that sex with his wife was only exciting when he imagined they were being videoed.
