Watching porn and sexual health

There are many things where people have differing viewpoints. But the case with porn is not one of them. And to nearly all people in existence, porn is immensely pleasurable to watch. It stimulates the mind in a way unmatched by any other experience. It’s related, but still different than the act of having sex itself! This is why with the advent of the broadband internet people have started flooding the porn sites like a stampede. It’s free, it’s fun to watch, and it’s extremely sexual stimulation to the mind. Porn does bring us the sexual desire and give us intense orgasm, but is the habit of watching porn good for sexual health?

Well, as it appears, there’s no clear cut answer to this question. It all depends on many factors, as the age of the watcher, the type of porn being watched, how often the porn is being watched, and many other aspects. But one thing is for sure, watching too much porn can mess with your mind and body.

See, we’ll start out with the story of the revolutionary experiment on brain mirroring. A monkey was one day given an ice cream by a good doctor, and as the little simian ate it, his brain was being watchfully monitored by the research team. Some pathways in the mind of the monkey got activated as a result of the pleasure of eating ice cream. So far so good, nothing out of the ordinary. But the fascinating aspect of the research was when the scientists decided to let the monkey watch another monkey eating ice cream, and monitor the brain of the watcher. What they’ve discovered was that the same pathways of the mind got activated as if the monkey was eating ice cream himself, not merely watching the act of eating ice cream. This all had profound impact on the way we think about how our mind works.

How does this relate to porn watching, you might ask? Well, connect the dots. What happens is when you watch porn there’s a big possibility of the same pathways that would get activated by having sex in real life. You’ll feel as if you had sex, which may be very detrimental to the way you act around girls or guys in real life, being that your sex drive is fully satisfied by the stimuli of porn. So have that in mind if you’re having trouble getting a girlfriend or boyfriend in real life.

Porn works on the imagination, and the many talented porn stars have sex in thousands of positions. This is stimulation to the mind, but the flip side is that when you’ll have sex in real life, then you might feel bored, especially if you practice the more ordinary positions.

In the end, we’ll mention the fact that a little of everything will probably do you no harm. The same thing goes with porn. If you enjoy porn, then by all mean allow yourself to watch it from time to time. The problem arises when the boundaries between porn and real life sex get muddled, and you start watching porn every day and all the time. Evade this habit and you should be fine.
