Watching Adult Content Help
At the end of per year, massive porn distribution site PornHub releases their Year in Review detailing their websites analytics. During the years of 2015 and 2016, they reported that over 9 billion hours of porn was consumed on their own website. Whenever you do the math, that means over one million years that humans spent watching porn-in just two years, on just one of the thousands of porn web sites online. For this reason, uh . . . thats pretty crazy.
If you masturbate to pornography, its vital to maintain a healthy relationship with it. Scientists will still be researching how pornography affects us, so we dont have a ton of objective (ahem, unbiased) guidance about what healthy porn usage really means. But hey, we do have common sense. Here are a few things to think about.
If you cant masturbate without porn, you might be conditioning yourself to only respond to certain kinds of sexual imagery. While it is only anecdotal, some people have told me they feel watching too much porn made it harder for them to become aroused in real life situations, with real people. Shake your routines up once in a while.
The majority of people watch porn because its entertaining and theyre horny. But in some cases, people use porn as a distraction when theyre upset with a partner, when theyre feeling lonely, or perhaps when theyre angry. Put simply, porn is a coping mechanism. Its good to do a self-check-in about porn usage, and how you feel whenever you use it. If you find you are using porn as a distraction, be proactive about finding healthier ways to deal. Talk to a friend, vent it out in certain writing, or seek out a counselor.
The most usual complaint I hear about porn will be close to partners who attempt to reenact porn sex in real-life. But porn doesnt always keep it real-and it isnt always the top model for good sex.
The bodies seen in porn dont always reflect a typical body. In porn, you are more likely to encounter actors who change their bodies with supplements, drugs, or surgeries. Their bodies might not only look different, but move differently during sex. In commercial porn, bodies also are movie-magicked with flattering angles, fluffers (people on set who help keep a male porn star erect), and editing.
A common unreality of porn is the fact that the sex depicted usually centers on male pleasure and entertainment. IMO a big involved in the reason for that is that porn is more often directed by men, and assumed to be for other men to watch (women dont like sex, member?). Lesbian porn is a notable example. My favorite is when they rub boobs together or suck on a dildo for see adult content (get redirected here) 10 minutes (lolwut?), both acts that generally arent very stimulating for women. In straight porn, this happens too-hence the proliferation of money shots and blow jobs that would make the typical person gag.
