We have been sex educators who are not anti-porn. Based on the issue clients come to us with, sometimes we prescribe it. As well as being entertaining, porn is incredibly efficient at certain things-porn gets the job done.
The problem is, in our experience working with individuals and couples for more than two decades, good adult material (Revistas Sena Edu wrote in a blog post) the proliferation of, and easy access to, porn will be accountable for a whole category of serious physical and emotional health concerns, which a growing number of people now experience.
Within this article we're going to describe our definition of unhealthy porn use, tell you why porn is so tantalizing, and also describe how you can use porn in a healthy way.
We define unhealthy usage of porn as a pattern or cycle through which you are compromising your life, relationship(s), work, mental and/or physical health resulting from your use of pornography.
Why is it very important to know how to use porn healthily?
Unhealthy utilization of porn can and often does create a great deal of problems, from unwanted ejaculation and erection issues, to low stamina, dissatisfying sex and body- and sex-image issues, disempowerment and heartbreak in relationships and so far more.
The bodies in porn videos will often be cosmetically altered, giving us unrealistic and unnatural standards of beauty and sex that not just cause feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, but can lead some to make radical changes to their bodies to try and match these unrealistic standards (e.g., penis enlargement, labiaplasty, etc.).
Aside from that, most porn isn't going to portray authentic love-making, as well as f***ing for that matter. The actors will be only that-acting, exaggerating every move. In heterosexual porn, often the man is pounding the woman as hard and as fast as he can while she pretends to enjoy the disconnection, moaning louder the better he pounds her, while she licks her lips within an try to make the scene appear sexy. This gives viewers a false feeling of what sex is supposed to look like.
As we hold our bodies, our partners and our sex to porn standards, we often find ourselves, our partners and our sex unfulfilling.
