[split] PORN

[TruthWorthy]

Let me play devils advocate for a minute, if you don't mind Adrian,
Research does show that repeated exposure to porn is not only addictive (lessening effective living behaviours), but also can effectively reduce real life sexual arousal through desensitisation.

I think that depends on the porn.

I can watch very violent images on the TV any day of the week, but I cant see things that I can legally do with my wife. Where is the sense in that.

Graphic sensitive lovemaking between consenting adults would not, I think be damaging to view.

But violent non-consential damaging fucking could give people prone to that behaviour a nudge in the wrong direction.

It's all about excitement. When you watch porn you can watch more graphic scenarios than you can realistically achieve in your own bedroom. This is meant to make the real thing less exciting for the brain, less stimulating, since, as certain parts of the brain can't distinguish between fantasy and reality (such as the id and the subconscious as Freud outlined) so the brain will opt for the action which it finds more rewarding.
