Pornography Can Affect Society

What is it like to be a porn star? What role does porn play our society? I do not think of myself as an expert in the sense that a person with a doctorate in sexuality would be. But I have my opinions and I am about to share them with you right now.

First think about the rush that viewing porn can cause in the viewer who is interested in watching sex on the screen. Purportedly, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study that said that men staring at a women's breasts for just 10 minutes a day can add four to five years to his life.

Whenever I hear of some such "study," my first reaction is - hogwash. Studies are often a way of affirming the consequent. You first make a theory and then go all out and confirm it.

But mentions of such studies help us by revealing attitudes related to sexuality. So, coming back to the issue of porn in our daily life and in our society, well it is about physical pleasure and the pleasure of experiencing the taboo.

There will be those who will think of porn as sin. Others will ignore it and still others will think of it as a healthy way of stimulating ones sexuality. Regardless of which side you stand on, you cannot ignore the deep rooted presence of porn in our daily lives. Even in non-western countries where sexual expression is relatively repressed, porn is quite freely available.

On the issue of taboo, I guess we can mask any taboo behind science. So, let me unleash another "study" on you. Purportedly, Dr. Karyn Weatherby, whoever she is, said that ogling at busty beauties is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics workout for men. She said that such ogling reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack. If not numb, that is at least dumb. Not the study or its conclusions, but the fact that it probably encourages people to get less inhibited about social misdemeanor.

But that raises another possible use for porn. Maybe porn helps release pent up frustrations in an individual without necessitating the participation of another. Sure there is couple porn and other means of social porn. But porn also allows one to get in touch with ones sexuality without having to seek it from ones social surrounding.

I am not advocating that as a good thing, but I accept that porn is here to stay.
