The Effects of Porn on Young People

The Effects of Porn on Young People

When you hear someone talk about Porn, the words often come right to your head. For some people, the only time they think of Porn is when they watch it on the television. For others, the first time they heard about it was in an adult film. Whatever the case may be, the common denominator with all of the opinions about Porn is that it destroys the moral fiber of our society. It is often equated with disgusting behavior and acts that would never be accepted in normal relationships.

The truth is that people use Porn for a variety of reasons. Porn is often seen as a way for men (and women) to have sexual excitement that goes beyond actual reality. Free porn videos, soft Porn, or erotica films are typically adult films that provide people with a fantasy that usually includes sex and nudity. Sometimes, soft Porn is simply a sex tip book written to help people get in the mood. Soft Porn is usually used by couples that want to spice things up in the bedroom.

People use Porn as a means of sexual exploration and often as a way of relieving stress from everyday life. In many cases, this is why sex trafficking is big business. Those who trafficked children thought that by introducing sex into the relationship, it would make the child feel more secure and less intimidating. Unfortunately, many times this is not the case and these children have suffered because of sex trafficking.

Sexual addiction and public health experts alike have said that there is a strong link between Porn addiction and sexual behavior. One study actually showed that a correlation between obesity and Porn addiction was true. Yet, this correlation did not take into consideration that those who watch Porn on a regular basis are also likely to be overweight. This means that the correlation may be caused by the fact that both are driven by a sexual desire. Those who watch trend porn are more likely to develop severe cravings for food or physical activity.

Porn does not just cause unhealthy sexual behavior. It can also lead to unhealthy relationships. Many married couples experience sexual frustration due to their inability to satisfy their partners. When one partner uses Porn to relieve stress or to deal with feelings of inadequacy, they may use other forms of physical intimacy to fill the void. This can lead to infidelity or a lack of intimacy in a marriage.

Pornographic images are being exposed to children in a very dangerous manner. While adult viewers are more likely to seek out adult magazines or sexually suggestive videos, they are also inadvertently exposing innocent children to sexually suggestive pictures and materials. This can put sexually exploited children at risk for sexual abuse.

There is no place for sex trafficking in our society. We must work to eliminate the industry that supports sex slavery. Unfortunately, there is a lot of resistance to this issue within our government. Many politicians want to do more to legalize sex work and protect those who have been sexually exploited. However, the big business lobby is strong and successfully pushing the federal government against legislation that would give victims of sex trafficking relief.

Porn has a negative effect on society. We can do better than accept that young people are using Porn as a way to communicate and control their sexuality. We must work to prevent young people from being exposed to sexually suggestive materials. Porn does not contribute to healthy sexual behavior, and when young people understand how damaging it is, they will tend to avoid it.
