Behind the luster of tempting spotlights and thick bundles of flowing money that the porn industry offers, darkness lies behind it.

The majority of porn stars are uneducated people who falls prey at the idea of easy money and easy pleasure. Yet, they fail to comprehend that it will demote their worth as a human. Everyday, they are treated as objects and discriminated upon. Their sense of selfworth gradually degrades to the point that they end up using drugs as an escapism from their reality.

And that does not include the everyday harassment and violence in their studios

Porn stars do not live a happy life. Instead, they doubt their own worth as a human

Side: Yes, but its a guilty pleasure

Everyday, they are treated as objects and discriminated upon. Their sense of selfworth gradually degrades to the point that they end up using drugs as an escapism from their reality.

How are they treated as objects? The porn stars voluntarily agree to have sex with someone (who is usually attractive because un-attractive people in porn is bad for business) and get paid a ton of money for it. You act as if its human trafficking.

How does their self worth degrade? You honestly think that no one in the porn industry is a nympho or gets a self confidence boost over people paying them a large amount of money to be on camera? Really? You think that these people never used drugs before, but then started doing them because they went into porn? Really?

And that does not include the everyday harassment and violence in their studios

What harassment and violence?

When they are tossed aside when they dont agree or dont do better than the next best thing.

You act as if its human trafficking.

It is legal to watch to people have sex and do all sorts of things yet human trafficing is illegal. Which is truly worse if you think about it?

She or He is getting money for sex. Thats it. Human trafficing is still illegal yet it does the same thing. It ruins her image mostly because people dont want to get to know her the want to have sex with her. It pretty much makes her a tool for money.

What harassment and violence?

Actually I am wondering the same thing.

That's an easy question. How are they treated like objects? You watch porn and tell me what the color of the girls eyes are. Watch porn and tell me if she's a religious person. Watch porn and tell me if she loves to hang with friends. Watch porn and tell me what her thoughts are politically. You can't because your just looking at her breasts and but. The right way to look at anyone including girls is to look at them as a personality and not an object. Looking at that naked girl is just thinking about her breasts and other nasty stuff on her body and not thinking about regular stuff like does she love her mom and dad or does she have a strong relationship with him brother or something. Your objectifying her and In case you didn't know objectify someone is treating them and looking at them like an object.

Side: Yes, but its a guilty pleasure

According to these articles I would assume that porn is quite bad for the porn stars themselves. It seems like they dont think they have a worthy life. All life is worthy.

Side: Yes, but its a guilty pleasure

I think porn can harm young boy's views on sex. What you see in an adult movie is not anything like what you're gonna experience in real life, and many boys think that porn is realistic sex.

The question isn't does porn exist, or is there a market for porn; there clearly is a market. The question is is porn harmful. Cigarettes are clearly harmful, but there is still a market for them.

Yes it can be harmful because it can be an addiction to a lot of people because they want more and more but it will never fill them up its just a temporary fill.

It has destroyed lots of marriage because of it. It really does nothing to a person and in my opinion porn is disgusting and it can do damage to you and your marriage.

For your first reason, go get laid, or go buy a sex toy.

For your second reason, do not watch porn if your partner has a problem with it. That simple. Common sense is the key.

It is okay to have sex. Sex is responsible for bringing into this world new life. It's bad for 13 year old children to watch porn, that does not make porn bad in general. It's bad for babies to play with small objects, that does not make small objects bad in general.

Side: No, it heals and gives life

It can be and lead to you having sex with an under age child but it is normal though but you don't want to overdue it.

It is counterproductive and addictive and I think that people use it while stressed however it merely temporarily masks the stress, never eliminates it.

Side: Yes, but its a guilty pleasure

It can be if you get too addicted, but if you can keep that part under controlled, it is just a guilty pleasure.

Guys it's extremely harmful for multiple reason:

1) Pornography feeds lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh, which are never satisfied. It leaves the viewer craving more and more in order to achieve the same "sexual high." It easily enslaves people to their own cravings and opens the door to other forms of evil, like anger, abuse, violence, hatred, lying, envy, compulsiveness and selfishness. The power behind porn is revealed when the porn addict tries to stop their habit - it is virtually impossible without help.

2) Pornography sexualizes the viewer's mindset. It warps and perverts their perspective such that sex is unnaturally elevated in their thoughts. Porn's images are stamped into viewer's brain with the aid of hormones released during sexual arousal. Even if a person decides to stop looking at porn, the past images can remain for years or even a lifetime.

3) Pornography promotes destructive practices and can lead to progressive addiction. For example, porn sites routinely link viewers to depictions of every type of sexual perversion imaginable, such as child porn, homosexuality, bestiality, necrophilia (sexual interest in corpses), masochism (pleasure from abuse or suffering), rape and sadism (gratification from inflicting physical or mental pain on others). The viewer's exposure to such themes naturally increases the likelihood that they may attempt to act out what they've viewed. This can lead to sexual crimes, a la the late Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer).

4) Pornography intensifies an individual's drive to serve oneself, rather than serve others. For example, masturbation, which typically accompanies looking at pornography reinforces a self-centered sexual orientation (i.e. lust), which can detract from a person's ability to give and receive love.

5) Pornography addiction can lead to debt. The convenience of credit card transactions on the internet encourages covert spending without limit. Additionally, pornographers flood common internet areas with enticing banner ads ("teasers") and spam email, which bait potential viewers with free porn. Once lured by the free porn to the site, the viewers must then pay to see more. Porn can also cause huge financial losses for employers with employees who waste company time searching for porn, downloading, viewing and covering their tracks on company computers. Employees who get caught accessing porn and are subsequently get fired will experience potentially significant losses, most likely leading to debt.

6) Looking at porn can damage the viewer's current or future marriage sex life. Porn viewers may find that it's difficult to enjoy true intimacy with their spouse when they're fantasizing about somebody else! Additionally, porn builds an unrealistic perception of sexual relations. Porn sex is a portrayal or an act made for the viewer's enjoyment. It takes what God intended as a private expression of love between a husband and wife and prostitutes it for entertainment. When a person has been looking at sexual pictures of other people for entertainment, he or she will have a downgraded value of sex. This in turn will detract from their appreciation and value of sex with their spouse.

There are so many more reasons.

Well I read the articals. I didn't learn anything I don't already know, and my point of veiw doesn't change. It's not good nor bad, what matters is how it's preformed. Yes, most porn made now of days is 'bad', being that they don't check for STDs and they don't do things 'truely professional'. In many ways I see the people 'running the show' as childish. But it porn itself harmful? No. If everything is done the right way, I see nothing wrong with it. And still, even if things are run in all the right ways, if everone complys and accepts all of the conditions, why not? Of course most new pornstars aren't knowledgeable of all of the risks, and that's wrong, but it's their fault. You can find risks in every occupation. This debate might as well be "Is life harmful" Yes, it can be. But also, it can be good. People do what they want, and if it's what they want, nothing more should be said.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it heals and gives life (maybe sometimes gives life) but it's definitely not harmful.

Overeating is harmful, Having unprotected sex with someone who you know has a disease is harmful, having sex for money with someone you know is not diseased, or watching two people have consensual sex is not harmful.

You mean about it luring in the uneducated and abused to work there? I pretty much guessed that. I mean what self respecting woman with a college degree, and other job opportunities would let 14 guys 'finish' on her? I think none, maybe some got a fetish for it, I don't know. What I do know is, the uneducated, have to do something. Would you rather them be living on a street corner, doing what they're getting paid lots of money for now, for way less and in way less safe conditions? As for the sexually abused. That's not really the fault of the porn industry, that's the fault of the initial abuser for instilling them with that fear and mind set, all porn has managed to do for that person is offer them an outlet, and loads of money.

I don't think it's harmful still, I think it's more or less nothing, if not positive. Yet I would hate to argue it's positive.

Quocalimar(6470) Disputed

Porn is not inherently harmful. It can be but it's not necessarily.

Think about porn as medication. If someone who's not supposed to be watching porn is they'll take from it something they weren't supposed to, just like someone taking a medication they aren't supposed to will experience feelings they aren't supposed to.

In the analogy, the porn and the medication has a purpose but like anything in human hands, can be abused.

You say it can warp the reality of someone who watches it, and that is certainly the case for someone who does not know what sex is, then suddenly learns it like that. Yet for a person who may be in a committed relation ship and is looking to try new things, that may act as a tool of education or as an example. Not only is porn for the couples looking to try something new, but it is also for the single person (guy?) who is without a means to relieve their sexual frustration without going out and actually harming someone.

Side: No, it heals and gives life

not if youre doing it right

Side: No, it heals and gives life

I don't understand how people even think that porn is harmful. I just don't understand the reasoning behind that. Lust is not harmful, it is part of human sexuality. Human sexuality is natural. and who gives a crap if you see some naked people. So what. It isn't like everyone at home is watching child pornography or something.

Greed is not harmful either, and so is envy and wrath. The sin comes when it is put into action. A misguided act of lust can easily deteriorate our sense of morality, corrupt the mind of the children, and blur the border between lust and love.

Just read the article that I gave at the description. Because of unrestrained acts of lust, porn stars are seen more as toys of pleasure than actual human beings

The ony harmful thing about porn is the computer viruses they can give your pc if internet porn. Other than that it's natural for all humans to express the sex drive the human race has evolved with. If someone has no partner, pornography is an effective, enjoyable way for someone to ease their needs.

It's not a stimulus, it's an addiction. People with disabilities can do other things to help there problem besides going to porn. There's some people who are so depressed, they go to the bottle for help but we know people with the addiction of drinking can be a life of pain and misery and so can the addiction of porn.

While there are varying opinions on the harm of pornography, it is important to acknowledge the potential negative effects it can have on individuals and relationships. If you're looking for alternative ways to explore your sexuality, consider checking out sex cam sites like ehocams. These sites offer a safe and consensual way to engage with sexual content and connect with others. With a wide range of options available, you can find content that aligns with your interests and boundaries. Just remember to always prioritize your mental and emotional well-being.
