The Porn Benefits
4:57 pm Monday, 24th February, 2020
It's easier to find negative reviews about the porn world than to read about its potential benefits.
Not everything they say about porn is bad and, in fact, comes with surprising benefits. Although we also know the real dangers of addiction, it's worth discussing its benefits... what do you think?
Watching porn can increase your libido
Although previous studies and speculations say that watching porn decreases the chance of having sex with your partner and may cause sexual dysfunction, new research suggests otherwise.
A study conducted by the University of California found a positive association between porn and a man's sexual desire. University scientists asked 280 men to record their experience of watching porn while tracking their libido to see if sexual stimulation is related to how someone responds to real-life sexual approaches in the bedroom.
Scientists found that men who watch more than two hours of porn have a greater sexual desire with their partner than those who only masturbate.
Please your wishes
Do you have a foot fetish? Do you get turned on by clowns or do you like dominatrix costumes but your partner isn't interested in those kinds of games? Well, there's a place for that. One of the best things about porn is the ability to satisfy any fetish or desire you may have. Porn sites adapt to your desires because you're not the only one who gets horny about certain things. It creates a sense of community just as our site does. It is a perfect option for those couples who hesitate to try sexual positions that are usually tougher like in BDSM. Watching porn can make it easier to test positions, or solidify the decision not to. It'll always be there for you to enjoy when the time is right.
You can learn a thing or two
Porn is not an instruction manual for having sex, It's a fantasy, and sometimes a little ludicrous. Few people like to have sex in the same way as people in porn. Few people are eager to spit on an asshole, choke on a dick, wash their face with someone's cum or anything else you usually see in porn. Just because you're disgusted doesn't mean no one likes it and doesn't mean there's zero benefits in porn.
The fact is, if you think you are the king/queen of sex, you're probably not and you're just ok... Your own sexual repertoire might benefit from watching an adult performer whose skills you respect. Ultimately, this will lead to a much more fulfilling sex life, either alone or as a couple.
It could have benefits for your relationship
Watching porn with your partner can open both minds to new sexual possibilities. We even have an article that talks about exactly that: Watching Porn With Them - One Of The Kinkiest Things To Try With A Partner. When both parties have sexual confidence in their relationship, they are probably more engaged and less likely to get lost (unless the emotional reciprocity isn't there, but that's another subject). As long as you and your partner set habits and limits, both parties will be happy.
Exploring your sexuality is how you discover who you really are
While with sex education we learn about the mechanics of sex - where to put what in where - porn helps us figure out how our sexuality relates. This, however, is not an ideal replacement for sex education, but it can serve as a source of exploration. How else would people in BDSM communities have realised that's what they like without a little action on the screens?
Even for those who are rooted in a niche community, porn can be a way to continue exploring their sexual horizons and re-educate their desires.
The more we break our own limits, the more we make the world a better place for a little "ménage à moi".
