Porn and sex de-sensitisation

I have been following a debate lately about men who view a lot of porn and then become desensitised to "real life" sex and women etc.

Anybody believe this to be so? Personally I don't. As someone who enjoys a reasonable amount of online porn and erotica several times a week, I prefer to call it erotica because I don't go into the hard degarding stuff, I still enjoy sex and women the same as I did 10 years ago before I'd even ventured online at all. Porn and erotica is something I enjoy when I am not with company, not as an avoidance thing so I don't have to deal with real people.

But I do admit there would be people who may be affected far more than me, and it may mess with their perceptions so that they need more and more to get stimulated.

I do wonder how much of this is theory and how much is reality. Some people make a living from creating theories, so I do have a sceptical approach to some. It is an interesting discussion topic though!

desensitise

I have viewed much internet porn over the last several years and still find the same things sexy as I did before that, so I think this is not a truthful argument.

I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.

Testimony to the problem...

I have been in contact with a true "Porn Creep" (ie: someone addicted to porn and unable to respond to real life stimuli).

I think the big factor is that this man did not just look at porn a few times a week - he watched porn for about 4 to 6 hours a day, EVERY DAY, and it took about a year for his equipment to reach full "desensitized" status.

It was not a pretty process, so keep the viewing at your current frequency, gents!

Addiction

That is psychological addiction, spending a quarter of each and every day viewing porn. That is sad.

porn addict

It is sad but it is common and it is true that there are MILLIONS of people, obviously mostly men, but I can think of one woman I know persoanlly too, who spend multiple hours every day viewing porn.

And I believe it does desensitize someone to real life sex if it keeps being watched to the extent of being a porn addict.

There seems to be a continuous chase for something more, something better, something with more edge, and where does that leave a woman in a relationship if her man always needs to find something new in porn to keep exciting him?

I think it is a bad recipe, and if it is getting to the point that someone may feel some addiction, they need to switch off the computer and reconnect with real people to be reminded of how great real sex is.
