is there such a thing as watching too much porn?
By Anissa Lozano, OkaySo Intern
This is a super common question! We are here to say, its a little bit more complicated than a yes or no answer.
With explicit material being easy to find on the internet, it is super normal to watch porn: people are sexual beings and it is normal to be curious! However, it is important to remember that porn is not reality, similar to how tv shows and movies are not reality. What people see in porn does not reflect real life nor does it reflect what sex is like in real life.
Things start to get "too much" when watching porn starts affecting a person's day to day life. Do they feel it is something they have to do? Or are they watching it in inapporiate places, like work or school? Some porn can send really harmful messages that may change how a person thinks what sex should look like or treat other people in harmful ways.
So while this isn't a yes or no answer, being mindful of the images and messages portrayed in porn and if it's affecting our day to day brings us closer to that answer. We are happy to chat, if you have any questions or want to talk. Download our app today!
