Porn is a major problem. It is more of a personal problem than being a cultural or a social problem. There are many people who are of the belief that they have not been affected by porn and its many negative side effects but the reality is that they are actually affected by porn since it is embedded deep into the surrounding culture and society. The shocking size of the industry for pornography, its impact on the advancement of technology and media, in combination with the anonymity, affordability and accessibility of porn all contributing to the increasing effect of porn on the society and the culture. Pornography has an effect on every individual whether he or she has viewed it or not.
Therefore, it is useful for people to understand the side effects of pornography. Some of the major negative side effects of porn are as follows:
Creates an Emotional Bonding with the Unrealistic World
Every individual has this critical requirement of emotional connection and human intimacy. The ones who view porn end up creating an emotional and intimate bonding with a fake and artificial world. This way they completely lose their ability of bonding with real people in the real world.
Sex without Closeness or Intimacy
Adult movies or porn is about having sex for wrong reasons. Since it is sex without any intimacy, the hunger for sex in people remains unsatisfied. Viewers of pornography start wondering about the problems that they have in their relationship and start getting depressed and irritated. Ultimately, they end up with feelings of emotional emptiness and complete disconnection from the ones around them.
Hampers the Proper Functioning of the Brain
It has been proved through research that getting into the habit of watching adult movies on a regular basis has a negative impact on the brain of the users. The users find it very difficult to pay attention to different tasks and activities and they are also not able to remember things very well. These are problems that not only appear while watching porn but they continue at other times during the day as well. Another research carried out on the same subject showed that porn users were able to think better after they quit their habit of watching adult movies.
Violence
The men who are into the habit of watching adult movies gradually become physically castigatory towards women. It has been proved through research that pornography increases the likelihood in men to act out violently against women.
Short-Term Mentality
Pornography also makes people value the immediate payoffs in place of delayed gratifications. Researchers have found that simply avoiding the habit of watching porn does not put individuals into a more long-term mindset.
Pornography is in no ways beneficial for people. In this modern world, pornography is one of the main causes behind failing marriages and shaky relationships. Therefore, it is essential for people not to underestimate the power of porn and its many negative side effects on relationships. Even the longest of relations reach a break up point with the impact of pornography in the lives of either of the partners.
