1. Watching Porn Could Improve Sexual Satisfaction
Good news for those who like watching their occasional
porn flick. It might not be as bad for your sexual health as
we once believed.
It’s been a long-held belief among many in the health
community that watching pornography could be bad for
your libido. Reasons cited range from increased
expectations while hitting the sheets for real, to associated
lethargy and depression.
However, a new study of 661 heterosexual men, published
in Personal Relationships, has introduced a bit of nuance
when it comes to the topic of naughty flicks and their
effects on the masculine mind. Study author Dan J. Miller,
a Ph.D. candidate at James Cook University,
deconstructed the debate surrounding X-rated scenes.
“The research did not find much evidence for the desire for

2. ‘porn-like’ sex hypothesis. While porn use was associated
with a greater desire to engage in the kinds of sexual
practices commonly depicted in porn, this wasn’t
associated with sexual dissatisfaction...” he said in the
journal. “In fact, the research tentatively suggests that porn
use might have a positive effect on people’s sex
satisfaction by promoting an interest in a greater variety of
sexual behaviors.”
Ready to go crazy on your favorite porn channel? Not so
fast, Miller and his associates caution. As it turns out, there
is at least a kernel of truth to the notion that prolific porn
watching can lead to unfortunate outcomes – and they're
mostly tied to the fact that porn makes men horny enough
to do the deed themselves.
According to Miller “On the other hand, the study did find
some support for the idea that porn use results in more
frequent masturbation, which then acts to undermine
sexual satisfaction...” he said. “It’s possible that porn use
causes an increase in masturbation, which then causes

3. sexual dissatisfaction. But it is also possible that sexual
dissatisfaction causes solitary masturbation, which then
results in people seeking out pornography.”
Miller made it clear that this latest research wasn't quite
conclusive but rather something encouraging and
sex-positive instead of flatly critical of both pornography
and self-love.
This approach may indeed be necessary, as nearly all men
watch porn. Per a recent Psychology Today article, 94
percent of men had watched porn in the last six months. A
whopping 82 percent described themselves as “regular
viewers” of XXX cinema, and a majority of men said they
viewed pornography as something more of a positive habit
than a negative crutch.
The difference between those who had bad experiences
and those who enjoyed it? According to writer David
Ludden Young, inexperienced men turn to pornography for
sexual knowledge, and when they later enter into sexual

4. relationships, they find out that real sex isn’t at all like what
they’ve been viewing on the internet. In contrast, older men
who gained their sexual experience before pornography
became widely available know that porn is fantasy, not
reality. In other words, porn sets unrealistic expectations
about sex for naïve viewers, but it enhances sexuality for
those who have realistic expectations about it.”
According to the research, the solution to having the best
porn experience possible is pretty simple. Make sure you
have a willing and able viewing partner if you're going to
going to indulge in some internet voyeurism. Also, try to
avoid feelings of guilt or shame, and most of all, try to
mentally separate the porn from the reality of your sexual
experiences and expectations.
Inspiration is good, but complex and perhaps impossible
expectations, can definitely put a damper on the entire
experience.
