Generally speaking, Pornography is vile content that is a danger to society and the links between sexual violence and people who are porn hounds are well documented. It can and often is detrimental to normal sexual health and development in particular for young men.

Any kind of sex for sale is harmful to some degree, Also somewhat shocking that proponents of protecting women from sexual violence for example, are supporters of content that are well known to be associated, with very serious /violent behaviour towards women - so it it causation or corellation ?

Several studies have shown a large increase in content with sexually aggressive content towards women, and another study by the BBC (British Broadcasting lol) showed that gay males who watch sexually explicit material where condoms are not used- resulted in more gay males engaging in activities where they don't use condoms for example.

(This comment isn't intended to judge those people who watch porn)
 
No.

The only real “detriments” pornography can cause (if one allows it to) is desensitization (physically and mentally), sexist beliefs that can lead to aggression (specifically from men), the possible inability to maintain a healthy, sexual relationship (or any healthy relationship at all), and unrealistic expectations (including no condoms), which would be true across all sexual orientations.

Sexual aggression exists because kinks and sexist beliefs exist, and communication/comprehension is a thing of the past, so when one “sexually aggressive” person links up with a “sexually vanilla” person, it can seem “dangerous” to the bland flavor.

Also, the News/Magazines/etc. will only ever show you what they want you to see. Best to source scientific journals/research for examples of opinions or “statistics” that haven’t already been formed prior to any actual research, but you’ll still find that the consensus is at a 50/50, with “beliefs” being the main reason as to why some deem it “dangerous”, and why others find the hilarity within the attempts to bypass accountability for one’s own actions due to said beliefs, similar to politics and religion.

Ultimately, though, 73.6% of statistics are made up, and Wikipedia isn’t a credible source, ever. 🥴

Maybe it depends on the type of porn you watch. I guess if a person’s only exposure to and knowledge of sex is by watching abusive/aggressive straight porn and condomless gay porn, I’d say they need to get out more rather than having porn criminalised.

Speaking from personal experience I can say that I’ve never been inclined to be aggressive or violent towards anyone of any gender and I’ve never had a burning desire to avoid safe sex.

BBC is a frequent haunt though especially at 6pm weekdays and the odd Saturday night.

Dang you tagged inkntat on a thread about sexual content in an open forum that is accessible to 13+ year olds. I wonder if he'll harass you and try to lock your thread into the adult chat forum instead of the debate thread where it belongs.

Let’s clear this up. I didn’t harass you and I didn’t ask for it to be moved to the adult section. I reported your post because you asked people for childhood memories of kids wanting to do adult things with adults.

If anyone believes that’s an appropriate discussion to have anywhere then that belief says a lot about the person. Such a conversation in Gay Chat would be met with an instant ban.

That thread was, thankfully, heavily edited to remove all of the references to “childhood” and “kids”. I don’t intend to debate it - the thread can be seen by all 3 UMs and all 3 can see exactly what you posted.

I’m pretty sure @babydolla doesn’t want this thread turning into a shitshow of you defending your weird thread, so this is all I’m saying on it.
 
...pretty sure if you're watching porn, and you genuinely think, despite the infamously bad acting, that THATS how its done/happens.... Sounds like a you issue tbh.

But personally really couldn't care less. Sure it'd be a bummer, but... probably get over it pretty quickly.

The BBC didn't differentiate or was not clear if the corellation applied equally to straight/gay sex. I looks like their focus was on whether porn was harmful to the degree it was associated with unhealthy/abnormal sexual practices, and the gay example was only intended for that purpose.

edit: will site the studies and source for reference.

Here an article from the BBC

Is porn harmful? The evidence, the myths and the unknowns​

By Jessica Brown, Features correspondent


Is Porn Bad for You, BBC Science Focus
BY Zoe Cormier Zoe Cormier is a science writer, broadcaster and public speaker with a BSc in zoology from the University of Toronto.

Published: May 8, 2023 at 8:00 am


A meta-analysis – a study of studies – published by Malamuth in 2009 found that hundreds of papers from the 1980s to 2008 were fairly consistent in "linking high rates of porn viewing with violence against women". But here’s the caveat: not all men respond to porn in the same way. Sources cited and authors related by BBC published first Oct 2009

Pornography and attitudes supporting violence against women: revisiting the relationship in nonexperimental studies published by Malamuth in 2009​


Prof Valerie Voon is a neuroscientist based at the University of Cambridge who studies impulsivity, compulsion and addiction. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying human self-control and compulsivity relevant to addictions and compulsive disorder.


Prof Neil Malamuth is an interdisciplinary social scientist who studies violence and conflict based at UCLA. His research looks at identifying the characteristics of men who commit sexual aggression against women.


Dr Taylor Kohut is a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario, where he studies human sexuality and the positive effects of pornography. His research has been published in PloS One and The Journal Of Sex Research.



Dr Nicole Prause is an American neuroscientist who researches human sexual behaviour and addiction. In 2015, she founded sexual biotechnology company Liberos LLC after studying at the Sexual Psychophysiology and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory for 10 years.

Mary Whitehouse made similar points in the 60s to advocate for the banning of Tom & Jerry

Here’s a direct quote from the end of the first article cited:
“..the evidence so far suggests that the likelihood that porn has a negative effect very much depends on the individual consuming it.”

Here’s a direct quote from the middle-ish of the second cited article:
“‘There is as much of a case to be made for the benefits as well as the harms,’ Prause says.

‘The field is riddled with misconceptions and biases that are not supported by the data,’ she says.”
