Porn: myths busted

Porn – it’s a controversial issue. Are you a pervert if you enjoy porn? Does it harm your ‘real’ sex life? Is sex behind closed doors anything like sex on the screen? This week, we’ll bust myths on pornography!

  1. Only pervs enjoy porn

    Not necessarily. There are a lot of ‘normal’ people who find porn attractive and seductive. It helps them get aroused, masturbate and eventually enjoy an orgasm by themselves. And we already know masturbation is one of safest ways to enjoy sex. In principle, there’s nothing wrong with watching porn, as long as you make the distinction between porn and real life sex.

  2. Women don’t watch porn

    Who says girls don’t watch porn? Although not a majority, women do watch porn and guess what, they enjoy it too! But women might not like watching the same kind of porn that men do. There is a growing market for female-friendly porn or porna out there. However, most of the porn market is flooded with male-friendly porn.

  3. Porn actors’ bodies reflect reality

    You’ll notice that female porn actors usually have very big breasts and the men have huge penises. Relax! Don’t be intimidated because this doesn’t represent reality. Women’s humongous boobs are almost always a result of cosmetic surgeries. And the average erect penis is around 4-5 inches, so there aren’t so many men out there who can flaunt an 8-inch organ!

  4. Real life orgasms are like those in porn films

    In porn films, when women have orgasms, they wail and scream like the earth beneath them just shattered. But if your partner doesn’t react that way when they have an orgasm, don’t worry. When it comes to orgasms, to each his (and her!) own! How men and women react during orgasms is a purely personal choice. While some play down their emotions, others take pride in exhibiting how they feel.

    You might have also noticed male actors going for hours before they orgasm. That isn’t the case in real life. Always remember, that porn films are shot in front of a camera and a crew with lights and sound and what-not. Men’s long-lasting erections are part of playing the role.

  5. Since porn actors don’t use condoms, you don’t need to either

    If you follow that cue, you’re likely to expose yourself to STDs. Using condoms is the best way to safeguard yourself from contracting STDs. And what’s more, they also help prevent unwanted pregnancy.

  6. Everyone enjoys playing out porn fantasies

    Porn can be full of dirty talk, men calling women all kinds of derogatory names and women responding lustfully to it. Also, porn plays out many fantasies, but not everyone in real life enjoys being handcuffed to the bed or spanked and whipped. If you are thinking of re-enacting porn scenes in real life, be sure your partner likes it, too. Remember to make love, not porn.

  7. Porn isn’t disrespectful towards women

    Porn isn’t all that harmless. Most porn films are degrading towards women. They portray violence against women. They might make you believe wrongly that a woman never says ‘no’ to sex and is always ready to pleasure the man. Also, you shouldn’t believe that women in porn films always enjoy what they do.

  8. You cannot be addicted to porn

    Porn can be addictive. It could affect your life so much so that you might not be able to continue doing regular everyday activities. Not only that, it could even affect your real sex life if you start enjoying porn more than the intimacy you share with your partner. Moreover, you could indulge in risky behavior as a result of the messages that porn sends out.

    1. Hi Ogur, first what happens…

      Hi Ogur, first what happens in porn movies is a performance and the mental or psychological state of the persons performing is completely different as compared to having sex with ones partner and in a relationship. Also, because of the objective of porn movies and the time requirement, it is possible that the performers take breaks which are not included in the final video which appears to be continuous for long periods of time.
