Is Pornography Wrong?

I was thinking today in my bed about pornography and whether or not it’s right. I was thinking on reasons people watch and what consequences it may have etc and I could not come to a fixed conclusion. Below I will list some good and bad things it can provide.

Good

1. If someone is very lonely and watches pornography and it helps their loneliness is it really a bad thing. Really all it has done is help the person.
2. Someone may get pleasure out of watching or looking at pornography therefore they have become happy.
3. It can expand your own imagination in a sexual manor.
4. It can give you ideas for sexual intercourse with your partner.

Bad

1. This may make your partner self conscious and she might think she is not good enough for you because your looking at other woman.
2. May influence some people to commit forced sex (Rape).
3. Can infect a young persons mind and mentally scar them.
4. Can make you feel lonely because you want someone to be intimate with.

Personally I do not have a fixed view on Pornography if it does good for the person then there is no harm but if not then obviously its not a good thing. I would like to hear your ideas on pornography so it would be nice if you could leave a comment and I will add your views into the post.

I’ll have to disagree with these points and then bring up a couple myself.
“2 May influence some people to commit forced sex (Rape).

Nothing influences someone to commit rape. They do that on their own and look for excuses. I wouldn’t say it “infects” a young persons mind. A young persons mind once they hit puberty is about sex 24/7 anyway as I recall my own youth. What I can say is that, in any instance, it’s illegal for a youth to view pornography. As for the feeling lonely, that exists with or without stimulation at that point.

However what it CAN do is desensitize the brain to an extent. When your looking at naked bodies having intercourse how sensitive will your mind, and body over time, be to actual intercourse?

I wouldn’t say it’s a major danger, I’d say though if you find yourself becoming desensitized definitely take a break. On the other side of that, for men, it could be an invaluable tool for learning to control your own erections and prevent premature orgasm.

You make an interesting point about it being illegal for kids to watch pornography and I agree with you but the problem with it on the net is that wether is a kid is 16, 17 or even 7 all you need to do is press the button that says im 18. So really these sites are not very secure as anyone can go into it at any age.
