Factors That encourage them to watch porn

This study will feature students facing challenges of watching pornographic videos in addition

to demonstrating to us the effects that they may get through watching porn. Eventually, it will

tell us about the experiences of students based on the advantages and disadvantages of

pornographic videos.

=The brain craves new things and pays special attention to it. In fact, it is the brain’s craving for

novelty that allows us to learn. “Because the human brain is the biological anchor of our

psychological experience, it is helpful to understand how it operates,” says William M. Struthers

(TGC U.S Edition). Understanding how it's wired and where it's sensitive will help us understand

why pornography affects people the way it does. In men, there are five primary chemicals

involved in sexual arousal and response. The one that likely plays the most significant role in

pornography addiction is dopamine. Dopamine plays a major role in the brain system that is

responsible for reward-driven learning. Some type of reward studied that it increases the level of

dopamine in the brain, such as watching porn.(TGC U.S Edition). (

https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/9-things-you-should-know-about-pornography-and-

the-brain/)As usual, porn is easier to find than a good date night restaurant and it will never

ignore a customer like a real person would. Here's a simple fact: sex is a basic human need that

no one can or would want to disregard. (Fight The New

Drug,2019).(https://fightthenewdrug.org/basic-reasons-why-people-look-at-porn/)).

For adolescents and the growing generation, a common reason for watching porn is to find out

how sex works, we call it curiosity. This is one of the reasons why students always look and

watch online pornographies. Sometimes they consider it as one of their routines because they
actually know that porn sites is the most satisfying place to explore . Moreover, due to the cost-

free viewing and no age restrictions, they often visit the sites for sexual pleasures and afterward

it tends to be their hobby. (Fight The New Drug)

= EJ Dickson, Kristen Hubby, & Nico Lang(2014) confirms that porn can attract students

“because it is healthy”. There are just as many studies saying that porn does not cause

irrevocable harm to the brain or your sex life—in fact, it might even be kinda good for you. Also

the same with the statement of Gert & Neil. In a 2011 study, two concluded from a survey of 688

Danish adults that porn had no negative effects on mental or health. The researchers found a

positive correlation between porn viewing and increased sexual satisfaction.

= ” Sometimes it’s better than the real thing” EJ Dickson, Kristen Hubby, & Nico Lang

(2014) says that pornography is a substitute for the real thing, but research has shown

that having a healthy masturbation routine makes us better sex partners — and more

generally lovers. While it's good for your physical and mental health (as described

by EJ et al.,2019), it's a way to keep making sure your own sexual needs are met

outside the bedroom, which is probably why it's so normal, even to those in ties.

https://www.dailydot.com/irl/benefits-of-porn/ This is quite similar to the explanation of Anna

Pulley (2017). She says that, to achieve a nice feeling of musturbation you need to watch porn,

this will help you become more healthy. Anna added that it is also increases one’s fertility, and

can even make us better partners (because people who masturbate are taking care of their own

sexual needs). https://www.salon.com/2017/09/02/9-surprising-reasons-why-you-should-be-

watching-porn_partner/
One of the factors why students watch porn is “Because it relieves stress” (EJ et

al.,2019).Your brain releases cortisol which blocks problem-solving and the ability

to think clearly when you are stressed. Men who flipped through pictures of naked

women cut their cortisol in half and did a lot better on a math test in a study

conducted by Carnegie Mellon University. Females are indeed experiencing a drop in

cortisol and 23 percent of the 85 percent of women who said they watched porn to

escape reality also says it relieves stress. . https://www.dailydot.com/irl/benefits-of-

porn/

Because it satisfies your desires

One of the great things about online porn is the opportunity to fulfill any curiosity or

urge you may have about sex. Porn sites customized to these needs often reassure

you in realizing you're not the only one turned on by specific features. This creates a

sense of community. EJ, Kristen & Niko (2019) also states that “Porn is also a great

option for couples who are hesitant to try sexual positions that are more rough like anal or the

practice of Bondage Discipline Submission Masochism (BDSM). Watching porn can either

ease the idea of trying out the positions, or solidify the choice of leaving it to the professionals.

When the timing is right, you'll always be there to indulge in.”

The reason why people look at porn is because of sexual pleasure

Porn increases sexual and overall satisfaction.

Arousal is a state in which you feel excited or very alert (Collins Dic.)
Arousal, education, loneliness, boredom, and peer pressure are all basic reasons why people turn to hardcore, explicit

content. But no matter the reason, there’s a harmful impact connected. Watching just isn’t worth it, for any reason.

“Even to the extent that some people think watching porn together is a strong suggestion to pass the time or satisfy

loneliness”.

=== The enormous increase in the availability and variety of porn since the introduction of the internet

has led to a staggering array of social, interpersonal, and physical problems among porn users.

They watch porn just to satisfy their entertainment needs but porn has effects to every individuals

especially to students. When somebody watches porn, it causes some powerful reactions in their brain.

First it completely absorbs all of their attentions and focus. Anything else going on in their life(like that

important statistics exam) is forgotten, and porn takes center stage. Second consuming porn stimulates

impulsive and restless behaivoirs, such as sexual conduct, but not attention-demanding behaviors, such as

studying or doing homework.

Porn actually changes the brain. The brain is made up of neurons, brain cells that are activated by

different stimuli. Once they are activated they release chemicals. A chemical that released during porn is

dopamine. With frequent exposure to porn, dopamine overwhelms the brain, and the brains response to

cope with the onslaught is to removed some of the dopamine receptors, which remove the porn users

ability to feel the effect as strongly as he had before. When porn usage is frequent, the dopamine level

required to feel excitement is so heightened, that the person can no longer feel pleasure

Porn can also affect behavior. People tend to look harder and more explicit or deviant images to feel the

initial excitement. The brain connects the images to feel excitement. This is how people can easily

progress to viewing porn that usually shock ore disgust them. Research also shows that porn users exhibit
more dominating and harassing behavior women, have less compassion for rape victims, and have more

violent attitudes toward women

Porn can harm your sense of healthy sexuality. When a person is putting a cloise human relationship and

a turning toward the source of stimulation on the screen or page. Porn can change sexual tastes and

preference toward things that are more deviant, dangerous or illicit than what used to arousing.( Caron C.

Andrews, site: educateempowerkids.org)

Porn can also tear apart relationship because woman are not comfortable with theie significant other

looking at other woman in the way they are portrayed in porn. It can also affects students performances

in school when they are actively watching instead of participating in the class. “Pornography is simply

disinformation about sex” (stoner,2010) because it can affect students sexual interactions in the future and

make them abnormal from what sex should be.

controversial topics that scientist and devoted member of catholic church and other religious

group can’t seem to completely agree on. But one thing is for sure most of the people, boys,

girls, members of LGBTQ+, regardless of age and status, watches porn. People might think and

believe that it only leads to negative effects especially to teenagers such as teenage pregnancy or

unwanted pregnancy. It may be seems to unbelievable to hear that watching pornography has

benefits especially in our health.

According to Ej Dickson, Kristen Hubby and Nico Lang in their site “The Daily Dot” there are II

benefits of watching porn. They reasoned out that it’s healthy, sometimes better than the real

thing, relieves stress, hilarious and the like. Unexpectedly, we agree of what the publishers stated

in the site. People who watches pornography states that it helps them to stress out some people

also stated that it intensifies the sex drive of couples who watches porn before sexual intercourse;

Watching porn makes you better date knowing that they turns into romantic and sexy person;

Pornography improves your sex life for it educates us of hows and whats; It relieves stress

because it pleasure our need and sexual being. Since millennials are prove to depression, just by

watching porn reduces suicidal thoughts and provides peace in mind.

ourself for what we think is that it really causes negative effects specially to teenagers. But we

can’t deny the fact that, to some people who watches porn gives positive impact in their life. All

we have to do is to respect their activity and let them be.
