CMV: Porn isn't harmful

 I think the whole "porn is bad for society" thing is kind of overblown at this point.

&#x200B;

Firstly,  before you try to say "it's degrading to women" or "people are forced  into it" or "there's underage people in porn". I know, I was being peer  pressured by my friends to film porn at a shady mall before I even  watched porn. But, the issue there is not porn. It's poverty and abuse.

&#x200B;

But,  to me, saying "porn is wrong" is a loaded statement. There is a lot of  non-commercial porn, homemade solo porn, where everything is completely  legal and consensual.

&#x200B;

Additionally,  the whole "it's so addictive" thing is, in my opinion wrong. You'd be  hard pressed to find a person who's never watched porn. People who get  addicted are the minority, and even then the issue is not porn itself  but rather a void the person is trying to fill. If we want to stop porn  addiction we need better mental health services. It should be treated  the same as alcoholism. You don't see anyone trying to ban alcohol  because most people can drink casually.

&#x200B;

I  mean people say society has been "pornified" but let's face it. Humans  are sexual creatures. If you even crack open a history book for a  second, you will see all ancient people ever did is fuck. Their  societies descended into dystopia because all they ever did is think  with their dick. Plus, what exactly are we comparing today's society to?  The 1950s where women would be lobotomized for disagreeing with their  husbands?

There’s been multiple studies that have shown that porn is detrimental, both psychologically and physically, to multiple ages of consumers. Issues like anxiety, decreased satisfaction in romantic relationships, and attachment issues have been fairly widely reported by consumers, and although these studies are relatively new, they’re showing a strong connection between these problems and consumption of porn. These issues don’t strictly come from porn addictions, but any time you’re consuming something at a consistent rate over a significant period of time, it’s going to cause an issue - it doesn’t have to be abused in order for it to be detrimental.
