Answer 1

yes it is fine just dont become an addict

Answer 2

You might better just use a magazine or your imagination. Several things wrong about watching porn:

1) It gives you unreal expectations of what real life itself will offer you. You are not going to have a 12" dong (hint; the guys in the porn didn't either until they were digitally enhanced!) You wife/girlfriend is not going to look or act like an actress. You shouldn't want her to!

2) It makes you feel that women are just objects to be used, not people to be loved. That attitude is really sick but it's common among porn addicts.

3) The mob produces a lot of this crap, so you are enriching criminals and degrading women by buying it.

4) There is a real danger of addiction, which destroys your ability to enjoy real relationships.

Just don't watch it!

Answer 3

I disagree watch as much as you like. I guess it has never hurt me. I do both watch porn and masturbate and then when my fiance gets home i give it to her so i have no problems with it, i just think that some people are super horny and need an outlet. Me i just enjoy it. But seriously as long as you realize not every guy has a huge crank and that not every girl is as slutty as the girls in porn movies you will be alright!

Answer 4

Yes it's damaging to you psychologically and sexually. It will impossible for a woman (or any other person) to please you because you are too used to not relinquishing control. That's the real thrill of it all - is giving up your power. You are just holding on to your own power so tightly and too focused on your own pleasure when you should be focused on your partners. I can't begin to tell you all the ways porn is harmful to your mind. Stop it while you are still halfway normal.

All of these people that tell you it's normal just say so to justify their own porn habits. I'ts garbage and it will hurt you.

Answer 5

There is no harm to watching porn, and certainly no harm in masturbating while you're watching it, either alone, or with someone. Enjoy

Answer 6

I think, at 17, porn can give you unrealistic views about what "good sex" should be like. That's the only harmful aspect I see about it.

Answer 7

Masturbating is not harmful but watching porn is harmful because it affects you mentally.

Answer 8

I encourage everyone to get a good webfilter such as "K9 Web Protection." This is available at: http://www.k9webprotection.com/ Another good software to try is what is called accountability
software. This one will track questionable websites, and email them to a person, or persons, of
your choice. It is called x3Watch and is available at: http://www.xxxchurch.com/07/ and
http://x3watch.com/ These are ideas both for parents, and persons who are struggling with an
"addiction" to internet pornography.

Answer 9

There have been questions about guy's that did too much porn and now they can't enjoy a female

Where is the borderline too much ????

Answer 10

No, not at all - unless it becomes an obsession. If it's an occassional thing to get your rocks off, then it's fine. It can even enhance your sex life in giving you ideas, inspiration and something to always fantasize about when you're with a girlfriend.

Answer 11

it's the opposite of harmful, cuz the more u orgasm, wether ur male or female, the more healthy u will be, heartwise, blood pressure, etc. it's true that the more sex a person has, the more they stay young longer.
