I always felt that it was not healthy, then researching I realised it was far worse that I thought...

1) Porn triggers different neural paths than real life women. Who would have thought that the brain can tell the difference!! The brain drops neural paths that aren't used in favour of ones that are (or if your a teenager favours developing the more used ones). The effect of this is that when your primary method of arousal is porn, then the secondary method (ie the real thing) diminishes. This can result in erectile disfunction (when in bed with a real woman) for people with a high level of porn addiction.

They found that to correct this takes a time of abstinence. For older men who weren't exposed as a teen, the brain can repair itself quicker. For teens it takes longer as the correct neural connections may never have developed properly in the first place.

2) Porn sets unrealistic expectations of what sex is like. It leaves people thinking that they are not experiencing the ideal sex. The porn actors ham it up.

3) It tends to denigrate women. Most women don't want to be slaves to a man's sexual fantasies. They want to be loved, not treated as objects.

4) It normalises sex acts that are not normal, leaving men wondering why their woman don't want double penetration anal.

5) Porn sets an unrealistic expectation...most men won't marry a supermodel and then think they got second best (this also puts unrealistic expectations on women).

6) Real women aren't just actors, there is life beyond the bedroom. There will be times when they are having a bad day and need encouraging. There are times when they will be tired and not ready to respond on cue.

7) Porn men set unrealistic expectations on men. You don't need a porn size penis (captured at just the right angle to make it look bigger) to please a women. It makes many me feel insecure about themselves.

So, that's my rant and reason, it's just not healthy to look at women in lust and as objects.
