Many of the porn users claim that the use of these porn videos has improved their relationships, and in some cases, their well-being as well. Some of the older research also supports this particular claim. Some of the potential psychological benefits are listed below.

Increases access to diverse sexual materials

People who watch porn may also learn about various new sexual positions, can view destigmatizing material about their kinks, as well as learn more about the human body and its reactions.

The media usually tends to portray sex and sexuality as heterosexual and also presents a narrow range of different options, while in the case of sex videos it offers a person the opportunity to seek out some more inclusive options.

Destigmatizing sex

Watching porn videos may make sex feel less intimidating, especially to such kind people who have little exposure to sex as well as to sexual materials.

Sexual empowerment

Some people may also find porn sexually empowering. For example, some of the females may find that certain genres of porn usually validate a wide range of sexual expressions. A 2012 paper has argued that pornography basically DE medicalizes female sexuality.

Stress relief and leisure 

A study in 2017 identified that most people use pornography as a leisure activity in order to relieve their stress and distract them from some adverse kind of emotions.

Alternative ways to get aroused

A person not only has to use pornography in order to feel aroused but they can if they struggle with arousal.

Some alternatives consist of:

• reading some exciting erotic stories, that incorporate many of the same fantasies but which also lack real people as well as visual images, potentially easing out some people’s concerns about the porn videos.

• By exchanging some explicit texts or even emails with your partner to share your fantasies and to build interest

• By planning out sex sessions in order to incorporate more elements of each of the partner’s fantasies

• By participating in a more extensive kind of foreplay, so that each of the partners has proper time to get aroused

Summary

Pornography can either be good, bad, or neutral. It all depends on how a person utilizes it, the type of porn the person watches, and the effect their use has on their relationships as well as on their personal life.

Current evidence which is around the positives and negatives of pornography use is still mixed. More of the research must continue into the deeper psychological and physical implications of pornography.

However, Couples should discuss porn, and people who are having concerns about pornography should consider talking to a sex-positive counselor.
