Does watching PORN really destroy the eyes?

Question

I mean that for example, if the grade of your eyes is 150, then when yo watch porn is it possible that it'll turn to 250+?

Is that really a FACT or a FALLACY?

Answer 1

Fallacy.

Maybe you could weaken your eyes from excessive computer use or reading, but it doesn't matter if it's pornography or something else. You could do the same thing reading emails or reading the Bible all day long.

In the old days they used to say if you masturbate--"if you don't stop you'll go blind." No one could prove that was true, it was really a reflection of our cultural sense of morality; religious fundamentalism. A lot of people still joke about that. I heard a comedian on TV tonight mention "if you don't stop you'll go blind."

Maybe you heard some people who were joking, or maybe they are so ignorant they still believe that stuff.

Answer 2

Actually there may be some truth here, but not with just porn. If you watch your TV/Computer screen for too long and too close it can make your eyes work overtime, this in turn makes them weaker and thus eye muscle movement lessen. So in other words watch it from a distance and you'll be OK

Answer 3

A bit of both really.

The fact is that focusing at the same distance for a long time can make your eyes deterioate, its that wonderful thing called adaption. In porn you only tend to focus on one or two parts, and often for quite a while. However, this happens for everything. People who read a lot of books tend to develop short sightedness.

Hope it helps.

Answer 4

Damaging your eyesight has nothing to do with porn but more the mere fact of watching TV or looking at your computer monitor all the time over a long period.

Answer 5

How in the world do you imagine that the image you look at, all other factors being equal, would in any way have any any effect on the physical characteristics of your eyeballs? Does that mean if I stare steadily at icons of the Virgin Mary, I'll be blessed with 20-20 vision? If that's so, why don't the world's ophthalmologists know that secret?

You're silly.

Answer 6

Total fallacy.

Answer 7

Well obviously porn is not going to destroy your eyes anymore than gawping at computer games or whatever, but it might damage your attitude to and relationship with women (I am presuming that you are not gay), which would be a shame.

Answer 8

I say Fallacy

Answer 9

Is a fallacy obviously, or most of the world would be blind

Answer 10

of course it's false, it's not the porn that's destroying your eyes, it's the computer monitor or tv monitor which puts stress and sometimes harmful rays to your iris.
