Awareness : the potential damages of Internet porn

[princealbertofb]

Interesting talks about the potential damages of Internet porn... related to some forms of addictions.
Worth a listen.
What's more Ran Gavrieli is really a hunk.



The porn experiment (science applied to porn addiction)



Let's get real.

Addicted to porn? I'll never understand :0

Dont people realize in the 5-10 mins for males and like 10days for girls to get off, that they could've done something more productive?

I just think porn was there for me to see what all the hype was about and I even asked my Mama, like what is the big deal after watching a video with my friend (who really got into it).

I've never really gotten into porn or masturbation or whatever, just not interested lol.

I must be the odd one it seems, from looking at these vids x.x

That's not a massive generalisation, is it, now?

It was more or less my take on humour, derivative of the fact that Males are typically the ones to be into porn and yet it takes them the shortest time to enjoy it, so for the sake of Addiction, which itself tends to span over time, shouldn't Men be over such an addiction in a matter of days?

And Women who tend to take longer to enjoy such activities, so would not even bother developing an addiction in the first place?


Clearly my Humour was... Lackluster

LOL
Or yes, I just judged everywhere like a two dollar porn whore >,>

I understood it as your humour, Queenie, it's just that it was a bit blatantly... untrue.

Hence the humour my dear Princey <3

You know I tend to be far-fetched sometimes

I'm pretty sure if it took anyone 10 days to get off, either every one would never work or work is all they'd ever do.

but as it stands;

Nigga's be like : "Bitch, I fuck for a Nut" and Gurls be like; "Nigga, You better Nut be expecting to Fuck then"

Geez.

I'm still WAY ahead of my time on everything on this planet.....

I was talking about this YEARS ago.....and as usual, nobody paid any attention.



Porn is why most gay men cannot function in the real world or have any kind of relationship.
They take what happens in porn as the "gospel" of what is supposed to happen between two men.......relationship or not. And thats just fucked up (pardon the pun).

Okay, so I'm going to school in a bit and can only imagine what the people in those videos are talking about.

I can assume it's about creating unrealistic expectation - both as to what the human body is supposed to look like, often with almost unattainable ideals, and as to what sex is actually like. The former is not a problem that porn alone is responsible for - magazines, commercials, or even regular movies help perpetuate these images. While these things usually cater to the most common image of attraction, porn is slightly more aware of different ideals and preferences - after all, a lot of it is very niche.

As to the latter, that's not necessarily a problem porn should be held responsible for. Just like the problems with video-game/movie violence, the problem lies within awareness - being able to separate images on-screen from reality. Porn is a fantasy world where sex is simple and clean, taboos are ignored and where condoms are often unnecessary. I come from a country where we are taught how sex, the human body and contraceptives work. I have never, for a second, believed that the porn I've seen is in any way a reflection of reality. Having sex for the first time I had no false expectations, nor did I expect the other guy to look like a Greek statue.

Now, like I said, I can only ASSUME the videos were discussing this, but false expectations may be created and fueled by pornography - even though they come from plenty of other sources - but the problem lies in the lack of awareness of the viewer.

Last video has pretty interesting points.
