For guys! Do you think porn ruins your expectations when it comes to sex

Ok I was watching this video about gaming "COD" and porn and the negative impact it is having on my generation partially young males from 16+ Link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1OHOJKf-p4 And I want other peoples opinion on this. Is porn/the adult sites available today, giving us unhealthy expectations when dealing with relationships in real life? If it is, then is it some we should grow out of? Or has it become to addictive for young men to do so? And if it has what would be the best practical way to deal with it.

Several studies have shown it's effects. When someone ends up watching porn let's say 4-5 times a day non stop, that can be considered as addictive behavior, especially if it interrupts his life.

Can't ruin the expectation for something I've never engaged in. But if I do end up blowing my load in someone and it doesn't end up erupting out of their nose then I might be a little disappointed.

I hate porn for both the industry and most of its content. Won't change the fact that most guys consume it on daily basis. Gotta deal with it. I don't have to be friends or even worse date them anyway... But if demand exists material will be delivered.. Touché.

Why only "For guys"? Glad Xynox responded anyway. Always good to hear the womens point of view, particularly on sex thread, cause it's important. So important in fact, that we made Porn because of this. Pornographic content is made to appeal mens and womens(And womens look at them, maybe less, but they have a genre just for her.), teach basics or advanced techniques or simply just for entertainment. Before being the dirty things that certain mens consume by daily basis it was something useful, maybe it is less now than before, i don't know. Hanzo Kai, like everything that can make you addict, Pornographic content have it's purpose if it's not overused. You might be mature and control yourself if you're going that way, otherwise you'l be trapped in it and it's not really appealing to the feminine people. For bad expectation of today peoples because of Porn, i think it's the case because most of people have already changed the way they consume sex/talked about sex(Sex friends and so on.). I think it's kinda sad Sex got that way, but meh, no choice.

If you believe that when you have sex it will be just like a porn, you will be greatly disappointed lol Seriously though, porn can definitely set high expectations for sex. It creates a physical standard for both men and women that just aren't right.

Do you think "porn" ruins your expectations when it comes to "sex"? Interchange the terms "porn" and "sex" with any other two that go together (like "pro wrestling" and "real life fighting") and the answer is always gonna be the same. It depends on the person. You can blame the industry or the content all you want. There's too much, too varied, too weird, too graphic, too accessible... you name it, I've heard all possible excuses. Neither of which are wrong as opinions or even facts in some cases. But in the end, it's not the content that's the problem, it's you, the consumer. And how you choose or how you are predisposed to receive it. It does affect a lot of people and especially the younger generations. Personally, I believe you can trace it all the way back to a bad education. Or a complete lack of it. Or just plain ignorance.

Depends on the kind of porn you watch, how often you watch it, and your understanding of sex in general. If you're young and poorly educated with little experience and you spend all your time watching fake porn with actors and actresses doing things more painful than erotic all without ever checking if their partner is cool with it then you're probably really fucking yourself up. And not just in your perception of sex. I can't say I hate the industry or the idea of porn in and of itself. But there are issues present that should be dealt with in the industry. By the way, anything that releases dopamine in your system can be addictive. And too much of anything can be dangerous. Hell, working out is addictive. And it's great to work out but if you overdo it you will kill yourself. Porn consumed in small quantities and with the understanding that it's all an act is harmless and could in some ways be beneficial. Hell, it gives people a safe way to explore their fantasies free from negative judgement just for being into what they are into. Two or more consenting adults, what they do with each other is their business~

@Hadesu The reason why I said for guys because I want guys prospective, for young men to seriously consider the effects of porn and how it effects them mentally, if it does at all. Ok its a fact that men like sex but its our natural instinct to want to have sex with as many women and as many times as possible in order spread our seed so that human race doesn't die out. "Really wish I could of came up with better term than that." However in the 21st contrary such instincts are not as useful as they once were and for many men who don't often have the chance to procreate many "myself" included used to watch adult movies "porn" as substitute however since the dawn of the internet, the shear amount of porn that is accessible is shocking however that is not my main concern for this thread. As many know once you do something enough times your body get used to it, in this case it's your brain every time you enjoy yourself or you are about to cum or want to cum to a certain type you porn or from "certain actives" your brain releases a chemical "Dopamine I think" and this chemical is part of the reward system. Here's were the problem is with some drugs/chemicals if you expose yourself to much to it you start to build up a immunity, but in this case young men will slowly become addicted on top of building up a immunity. So every time young man enjoys himself to a xxx video sooner or later he will build up a immunity to it, then due to not being able to get the same amount of pleasure from the previous videos look for something else usually worse in order to calm his addiction. I believe that it most likely comes down to will power, the individual, moderation and of course experience or the lack thereof. However the fact is that it may be far worse on most young men than they realize. Like all things this can be very addictive and once you be accustom to it, I believe that things can only get worse as it is far more difficult to be moderate when you are already addicted to a substance. Now that is the condensed version of what I researched "looked into" so now I wanted young men's opinions on weather they think that enjoying adult entrainment "porn" is still a healthy thing or has it got to the point when it isn't. Hopefully their opinions will help me draw a effective conclusion to my theory.

Im not a guy, but my friend (Who's male) and i both have the exact same impact from porn. When you watch it often, it kinda makes to where its more habitual to watch it than actually want/desire actual sex. For us, it seemed more of just something we would do for boredom and all that jazz. And over the years it tuned down the libido because you can start associating sexual Desire/libido with boredom. Which sorta makes sense. And with porn, it kinda makes you more picky to real people because you got to choose exactly what you were into and what body type and everything and be sexually stimulated, but real people usually aren't exactly to a tee of what you are sexually into, making it more about the experience in terms of what YOU want them to be like, rather than actually enjoying the time you spend with the person. And my friend SERIOUSLY is picky in terms of women's bodies when it comes to it, to the point it just comes off as dickish. and its noticeable to a really hard "T" -w- he kinda spent his first time commentating on the gals body on what he liked and didnt like... which is terrible. but since she didn't care, neither did he.
