Is it OK to be addicted to pornography?I just want to know whether it's wrong or not.:o

It's not wrong. So many things are not wrong. Wrong is really what your own morals tell you are wrong (well, that and the law).

You say your addicted to it. Does it interferer with other areas of your life, or is it just a supplement to it?

If it is interfering, than that is a problem. You don't want it to control your life.

Whoa, this is the 2nd time you are answering my posts.But, hey thanks a lot.

Your welcome.

It is morally wrong,

If you are single and not in a relationship, it only hurts you.
If not then it affects others.

It is wrong to be addicted to anything, since being addicted means it controls your behavior and is something that needs to be addressed

It could be too much eating, too much drinking, wanting to drive too fast, porn, or even disney cartoons if you are addicted to them.

Hi, darkknight,
No, it's not legally wrong.
But, one major study has indicated that when someone gets "addicted" to Porn, their sex life (with another person) will sometimes never be up to their expectations. Looking at all types of Porn could leave you very, very disappointed with your sex partner; any partner. There is info about this on the web.
I do wish you the best of luck.

You have to draw a line when it starts to mess around with your life, too much of one thing is no good for anyone.

If it stops you dateing, going out with friends or doing every day stuff then I would say then you maybe best to seek some kind of group to help you. You have had some good answers to your post, I wish you look in finding an answer.

I wouldn't use the word "wrong". Rather I'd say that it's possibly dangerous, in the sense that any addiction is dangerous. If you're spending time looking at porn when you could out having fun with friends, doing sports, or spending time with a girlfriend/boyfriend, then it's probably excessive. Also, as others have said, looking at too much porn can effect your sex life with other people, so you want to be really careful about that. My ex could not have an erection at all without first looking at porn. And the porn he had to look at became increasingly depraved, violent, etc, as time went on. If you're finding yourself not only looking at a lot of porn but also looking at increasingly hardcore stuff, I would take that as a serious warning sign. Try not looking at porn for a couple of days and see if you have any feelings of withdrawal. If you do, that could indicate a problem.

I, myself think it is some how not so good. When I was just 12 years old, I can view all the pornography easily because my big brother has a long of vcds and he is also very open about it and I can bollow from him easily.

After seeing so much vcds, I find out that I am having lots of unhealthy sexual thoughs and slowing will some how affect my mind because I will think of the "things" in my mind even if I don't want to.

So I think it not so good to be addicted to it but seeing some for yr knowleadge may be. That my experience about it.

Whoa, this is quite a blow on the mind here.So many different opinions and most of them think that watching pornography is wrong.If that's the case, then what do I do to satisfy my sexual desire?Masturbate?That only helps for an hour or two.I am not trying to look like a sex maniac here.Please help.Thank you.

Porn is wrong in many ways. Some states have laws that cover certain types of porn. The biggest wrong is that porn is addictive and just like a drug addiction it takes more and more to satisfy the need. At first it is just a few minutes of some ordinary sex so that you can masturbate. It is not long till you want to see more and different things, threesomes, same sex porn, and it gets worse. Before long is has to be really hard core to get you to the arousal that you want. I am not saying that some sex acts are wrong but you will soon only want to see the things that people consider perverse, maybe fisting, snowballing, oral sex on animals, I think you see where it is leading. Like someone before me said lay off whatching porn for a few days. Continue to masturbate if you like but just don't use porn to get you there. If you feel a desprate need to see the porn then you really have a problem. If you don't feel a real need to use porn then if you are going to masturbate try just a picture or short clip and see if that satisfies your need... Good luck

Are you saying this from your experience or is it just something you heard from others? Because my experience is completely different.

Also, smoking is also addictive and much more damaging to your health, yet people do not consider it abnormal.

Back to original question: it's not wrong to watch porn. I used to watch a LOT of porn when I was younger, and used to masturbate a lot (a few times a day) and it had absolutely no affects on me whatsoever. I'm 22 now, my sex life is perfectly normal (I do have a girlfriend, and do have regular sex with her - for anyone that wanted to throw in some funny comments) and I have no side affects from watching a lot of porn when I was younger.

Use common sense here (as with all other things) - if you watch porn for 14 hours a day - it's not normal. If you watch one porn movie a day and don't neglect other stuff because of it - why would it be wrong? Other people watch other kinds of movies once a day, and it's not wrong. Others work on their cars an hour a day, some paint, some play music, some dance. Those are also hobbies that they do by themselves. Are they considered abnormal or in danger of something? No.

You watch porn. It's your own choice what you will do in your free time.

OK. What we are trying to say is that watch pornography is not wrong but don't watch until you are very addicted to it. That the point. You should not be addicted to it. As I say, watching some for yr knowledge does helps you in some ways.

CroCivic91 makes some very good points here that you would be good to listen too... This is a dude that is telling you from what has happened in his life!!

I think as a teen guy its something that loads of teens do from passing video's around mags etc, as everyone as said as long as your not just making your life about jerking and watching porn then you should chill and keep doing everyday stuff to...

OK well you shouldn't let it take over you life, now I'm not saying stop watching it its your life but with out it you could be studying working and doing sports to take your mind off it believe me from experience I once was addicited to porn but I notice how far I had moved away from my friends and famliey and I am only 13 that was all last year so don't get suck in by it its been about 9 months since I watched a porn video or a mag. :D

Any addiction is wrong, the fact that you are asking shows you also think
It is not right.

I agree with CroCivic and Nwsflash - people watch other movies either on weekends or once a day, and a little porn won't hurt. You yourself, are aware of the potential risk of addiction already, so you have a level head on your shoulder and I don't think you are in danger yet. You are, to me, just a courious young man wanting to try out things in life and that's cool as long as you keep that perspective.

Enjoy life and grow - be safe!
