Pornography is one of the most consumed contents among young people due to it’s accessibility. All an individual needs to view pornographic contents is a smartphone and internet data. Softcore pornographic contents are easily accessible on most social media platforms. In fact, almost of all social media platforms are saturated with lewd contents. From women twerkings on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok etc to thirst traps pictures flying around on several social media platforms. Women enjoy sexualising themselves through their mode of dressing and actions. However, pornography has negative impacts on it’s consumers. It has negative effects on the mental state of people who consume it, it can even compromise their relationship. Let’s analyse some of the negative effects of pornography.
1. Addiction
Pornography is very addictive due to the fact that it releases dopamine in the brain which gives it’s consumer a false sense of contentment. The feeling of contentment that pornographic consumers get make them to want more of it. As people continue to view pornography, it desensitizes their brain and causes them to be less interest in physical intimacy with their partner due to the minimal pleasure that they derive from coitus. Porn is a safe haven for it’s consumers because of the cheap dopamine that they get from it. Pornography is capable of disrupting one’s daily routine. Dopamine induces satisfaction. When a person views pornographic and it causes the release of dopamine in their brain, the person feels accomplished, so they will feel less enthusiastic to chase their goals or carry out their daily routine.
2. Impact on Teenagers and Youth
The easy access of pornographic on the internet space makes it possible for teenagers to view it. The consumption of pornographic by adolescents can disrupt their opinion on sex, relationship and roles of gender. Pornography can compromise the self esteem of young people due to their tendency of comparing their bodies to it’s performers. Such comparisons can lead young people not to be comfortable with their body, they will want their bodies to look like the performers in the porn content that they viewed. Little did they know that some of the performers had gone through surgeries to enhance some of their body parts.
3. Distortion of Sexual Anticipation and Relationship
Pornography is make believe, it is an act. It creates false impression in the mindset of it’s consumer. So when they get involved with their partner, sometimes they feel disappointed because they didn’t perform to the level of the performers in the pornographic contents that they had watched. Little did they know that most of the acts in porn are exaggerated. The moanings especially by ladies in porn are at the behest of the movie director, so they are not real. Pornography often objective women. A guy who is very engrossed in pornography may find it difficult to sustain a healthy and long relationship because of how he sees women. He may view them as sexual objects instead of human being thanks to pornography.
4. Impact on Sexual Development
Too much consumption of pornography can induce erectile dysfunction. It fries up the brain of it’s viewers and makes them to have an erectile dysfunction before or during sexual intercourse because their brain has been programmed to respond only to pornography. It also induces low libido. Pornography can also rob it’s viewers of the need to understand consent and boundaries. They may be confused about consent due to what they see in porn.
5. Impact on Mental Health
Pornography is mostly view in secrecy as a result of shame and guilt. The feeling of guilt and shame that accompany the consumption of pornography can lead to mental illness problems such as anxiety, depression and low self esteem. Most people feel so guilty and ashamed after watching it. Despite their shame and guilt, they still indulge in it because of the instant gratification that they derive from it.
Lastly, pornography erodes masculinity. It is not a good habit for people to indulge in It can have negative impact on relationship. I shall be discussing ways to quit viewing pornography in my next article.
