HARMS
THE BRAIN. Shrinking
regions of the Brain—The American MRI research found that increased
Porn use is linked to decreased brain matter in the regions of the brain
associated with motivation and decisions making; Hijacks the brain’s reward systems — Research shows
compulsive porn users’ brains light up in the pleasure centers just like
cocaine addicts when shown activity specific cues; Impact on Mental Health— Strong
evidence shows Users of Porn experience loneliness, low esteem and depressive
symptoms.
PROBLEMATIC
SEXUAL BEHAVIORS— Porn is linked to engaging in risky
sexual behavior, like hookups, multiple sexual partners, anal sex, group sex,
and using substances during sex as young adolescents. A Meta-analysis of
31 studies in Ethiopia found that people who reported viewing Porn were more
likely to engage risky sexual practices.
TEACHING SEXUAL VIOLENCE. Portrays
Physical and Verbal violence— Analysis of the 50 most pornographic videos
found that 49% contained verbal aggression against women and 88% of the scenes
contained physical violence; Increases support for violence— Among
college aged men, frequency of exposure to Porn magazines and reality TV
programs that objectify women there are, the more objectified views of
women and stronger attitudes supportive of violence against women; Rape Myths
and Sexual Fantasies— A Meta-analysis of 46 studies showed that porn
use puts people at increased risk for committing sexual offenses and
accepting rape myths. Child harmful sexual behavior— Research
shows that early exposure to Porn has been linked to increased likelihood of
children acting with harmful sexual behavior towards other children including
a longitudinal study that found that children are more than 5 times more likely
to exhibit sexually aggressive behavior if they have watched violent porn.
DAMAGING
RELATIONSHIPS. Low confidence, more coercion, and less
satisfaction— Women who watched Porn reported lower body image, increased
criticism from their partners regarding their bodies, increased pressure to
perform acts seen in pornographic films, and Men reported being more critical
of their partner’s body and less interest in actual sex; Sexual Dysfunction— A
2015 study on Porn users found that 20.3% said ‘‘one motive for their porn
use was to maintaining arousal with their partners’’. It also found
that Porn use was linked to higher sexual desire, but lower overall sexual
satisfaction, and lower erectile function. Other research has correlated porn
use with the negative effects on partnered sex, decreased enjoyment of sexual
intimacy, less sexual and relationship satisfaction; Links to Alcohol use &
Promiscuity — Porn is linked to more alcohol use, more binge drinking,
greater acceptance of sex outside marriage for married individuals, greater
acceptance of sex before marriage, and less child centeredness during marriage
for men. High porn consumption men are more likely to report having sexually harassed
a peer or forcing someone to have sex; Unhealthy use of sexual enhancement drugs—
In Ethiopia, research found that Young men used Viagra to quell anxieties about
what they perceived as women’s growing expectations about their
sexual performance largely fueled by the emergence of Porn as a new standard for
sexual performance; Impact on Marriage— Research showed that those who used porn
more often reported lower satisfaction with their sex-life and decision making
as a couple. A study showed that those who have had extramarital affairs are
more than three times more likely to have used internet Porn than those
who remain faithful to their partners and have not viewed Porn. Evidence shows that Porn
is an ingredient for Sex Trafficking, Prostitution, Abortion.
