porn in moderation ok?

Question

I'm a guy, I like to watch porn. I'm not religious and I am single. Is porn ok in moderation? Can it harm me? How much is too much?

Answer 1

Porn is fine. You know it's too much when it's just like any other addiction( It starts to interfere with your life. You become anti-social. You spend all of your money on it. You become obsessed with it. You avoid doing things so that you can watch it.) Watching it once or twice a day isn't bad.

Of course it's always better if you get yourself into a good, stable long term relationship and get some good old fashion sex.

I think if porn was gone there would be more rape and sexual harassment. Porn is a sexual outlet for people. If you took that away people would have to find other outlets and that would most likely be us females and children. Porn can depict women however they want as long as it pleases people and prevents them from seeking their pleasures in other ways. I don't care for porn and think the girls look gross, but it's not about me. I've never met a guy that ever thought women should look like they do in porns.

Answer 2

This will tell you if it's too much. Ask yourself these simple questions

Do I have to hide my habit from others?

Were there times when I could have done something productive, but chose to use the computer to watch porn?

Were there times when I could have spent my money on something better than porn,?

Has fueling my habit for porn stand in the way from making informed decisions?

Am I meeting girls that are into it themselves, or am I turning girls onto the idea of it to and what it done in those films to keep them interesting to me?

Do I have delusions about a woman's desire to have sex because of porn, or is porn shaping my expectations of my relationships with women?

Would I rather see the women in porn as opposed to try to talk to these women in real life?

Is my dating life centered around the strip clubs and trying to pick them up as dates, as opposed to dating "regular" women?

If you can answer yes to any of those questions then you have a problem. It's hard for a married guy to stay away from it, before I found other things to do on the computer if no one else was around I'd start looking at the porn again. I'd have 30 windows open, and it would take minutes to download anything yet i'd persist nonetheless. Eventually my computer would crash or I'd recieve a phone call and have to start all over again. I'd spend more time looking for it than I would actually looking at it. That's a problem. Rarely, is there any such thing as "moderation" in porn, because there is always the promise of something more, that you can never reach or attain. Irony of it you're better off talking to girls that are already in your life and leaving that stuff alone ...

Answer 3

I think porn is wrong all together because of what it can lead to .... Of course all people have there own beliefs but porn can make a man look at women as sex objects and not as a person it can also lead to more serious things such as watching under age girls and even molesting children and rape. So Id say stay away from it :) find a productive hobby:)

Answer 4

It's not quantity. It's how you feel about it. Do you think it helps you? Is it just a fun thing to do? How do you feel after you're done? Porn like anything else, is not good or bad, it just is. It's photographs of people doing it. It's effect on you makes it good or bad. And this answer is not the same for all people.
If you find yourself needing more and more of it, if you're always seeking out the more edgy and forbidden stuff, if you're secretive about it, if you're doing risky stuff. These are indicators that it is becomming problematic.

Answer 5

Yes and no. There's no real problem with watching porn, and long as you can keep it in perspective. The problem is, that guys can't. Guys begin to think that what they see in porn movies is what they should expect from their wives and girlfriends. It's not. It's dream land. It's fantasy. Also, studies have shown the guys who watch too much porn (and how much is too much?) become insensitive to sexuality, and therefore, and one would hate to admit it, it makes sex less fun. How sad. So, the choice is yours.

Answer 6

Any is too much! You should not watch porn and stop your addiction! It will probably be hard, but you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. I forgot where that is located in the Bible, but it is an amazing verse from an amazing book! Talk to a friend who is a Christian or go to a Counselor!

Discontinue ur addiction immediately!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Porn can't harm you, but if you watch it all the time it could harm your relationships. I think porn is fine just make sure you aren't obsessed and it doesn't come between you and real realtionships.

Answer 9

Being obssesed with Porn is the problem. It's your hormones. BUT if ur doing becuase u think it's "cool" in front of ur friends, it's wrong.

Answer 10

personally i dont like it when guys i know watch porn. it makes them look desperate. i wouldn't watch too much otherwise you'll have those images in your head for a looooooonnnng time. plus whenever you have sex with someone, you might recall those images and remember those instead of the girl you're supposed to be focused on...i know a lot of guys who will answer are going to disagree with me. but this is my opinion.
hope i helped
