Effects of Porn on Relationships
Josh Shapiro
We all know the statistics of Porn showed to us by Professor Moore and those are clearly scary but what none of us truly know is the effect that porn can have on relationships. We know that porn brings in 57 billion dollars in commission every year, porn is 12% of all websites, 25% of search engine searches are pornographic, blah blah blah. More importantly, porn is ruining sexual relationships between couples and straining relationships between kids and their parents. It has been researched that some men who watch extreme amounts of porn develop SADD (sexual attention deficit disorder) This means unless they are masturbating, they get extremely bored with their sex lives.
Porn also makes a man think differently when they are with a women. They are used to seeing such explicit material they think that the women they are with are ok with all of it when in reality this is just making demands on the women higher and this is not what anybody wants in a sexual time. This is probably where the onanism scare came from. Men started visualizing other women besides their wives and thought that this was due to too much in their head during masturbation. Porn can only make this much worse for men now-a-days. Relationships do not only include interactions with a person our age like a girlfriend or wife, it can also include children. Porn has had a large effect on children due to the fact that porn's largest viewing population is from the ages 12-17.

Also according to our class discussion, 11 year olds is when a lot of young kids also start watching porn and that scares me because I truly do not think I knew what sex was when I was 11. I also found out that a study went out about children watching porn and it says that all boys by the age of 13 have been exposed to porn and two-thirds of girls had. That is a scary statistic because 13 years old should not come with watching porn. Finally, the affects of porn on children is that it develops a mental image of how sexual acts will be even at the young age of 11. This is also scary because porn is becoming a social norm and it is becoming "ok" for children these to watch. At first in our class discussion, I was completely for porn but now that I am thinking and have done all of this research, I am truly scared and do not think it is a good think anymore.
