Porn is now a Public Health Risk in the State of Florida

Recommended Posts

IDK I've had lots of gay sex and watched lots of porn for much of my adult life. If anything, porn gets me more immersed in sexual thoughts and makes me hornier. Sometimes I'll watch or read a bunch of porn before meeting someone for sex to get me in the right frame of mind, and I've for sure had sex with porn in the background and it can help set the tone or contribute to the general atmosphere. 

 

I did some digging and found a less anecdotal and more in-depth response to the question that seems to make sense: http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2015/10/01/does_pornography_harm_sexual_libido.html

this is possibly the most hilarious thing i've heard all week. attacking porn is a pointless endeavor, mainly because there's no harm in fapping. unless you jizz in public, porn's in no way shape or form causing problems. beyond even this though, the fact that lawmakers would pass a bill like this, right after rejecting a bill for gun safety, speaks heavily of some screwed up mental faculties.

 

i personally don't think hiding their veto on guns is the issue here, i honestly believe the florida house was either trolling for lols, (which i do admit that i find this whole thing hilarious) or they're just that screwed up in the head.

Like, ya'll shame Florida but the only reason that crap is a meme is because of our open journalism policy. Our s*** is public, while states have their dumb kept secret. Also, porn is pretty unhealthy and go #NoFap.

.

 

What if you don’t fap while watching porn? Anyway, porn is boring, like 90% of porn is sheet. I don’t understand how people fap so much to porn.

Porn is a health concern, but you physically have to masturbate. You can actually get sick from not masturbating for too long.

This is a really vague statement, and not necessarily true.

 

Unresolved sexual urges can result in psychological concerns, such as increased anxiety or depression, and those can cause some issues indirectly, such as lack of appetite or sleep bringing with them their own negative health effects.

 

That isn't to say it is a required part of a healthy lifestyle. There are many people who don't engage in it, or any other sexual behavior, and live perfectly healthy lives. The body doesn't have some kind of internal clock that makes issues come up after x amount of time between orgasms.

 

When I read your statement, my first thought was "I'm pretty sure that's bullshit" so I took the time to research it. Much of what I found was either heavily biased against masturbation, or heavily biased against people being against masturbation, but there definitely was no "physical requirement" to do so, or any indicator that there might be. Blueballs might suck, but it isn't a biological health concern.

 

I found a bit of research indicating that masturbation (along with any other sexual activity) could reduce the risk of prostate cancer, but that very clearly isn't what you are referring to.

 

 

 

As an aside, I also found that multiple studies indicate masturbation could result in increased libido and sexual sensitivity, particularly in women. Masturbating isn't bad for you. Not masturbating isn't bad for you. If you want to do it, go for it. If you don't, don't. Just don't shame/put down others for their own lifestyle choices.

Undermining this kind of media in my opinion is the right thing to do, but the "public health risk" method is the wrong route. If you want to do something, making a case for it based on a moral standpoint is better than using fake facts (the "public health risk" narrative is not validated.)

 

For me, the big 2 reasons why there should be restrictions on it is:

  1. The industry behind it has a mean and manipulative record. This is an industry that continuously allows the taking advantage of the participants (or models or whatever term you want to use). If this form of media is to be allowed to continue in the US as a whole, there should be steps taken to ensure the process is fair and clear for all involved in it's making. (Banning it outright is an entirely different subject for a different thread so I will not discuss that here.)
  2. It is both a cause and effect of hyper-sexualization in society. This, to me, is the bigger reason of the two. The hyper-sexualization of women (in the perception of both what a women's body and a woman's mind should be) in American society is nothing new and it is not good, but this industry is often where the worst, most extreme instances are found. Tackling this industry by raising awareness and other methods (I don't know what yet) will help restrain the worst excesses of this problem. The hyper-sexualization problem is something I could rant about for ages and can produce multiple effects (such as body image issues, mistreatment of women based on public ideals, etc.), with this industry being only one, but that is also another subject for another time.
