For most people, pornography use has no negative effects???and it may even deter sexual violence
A Personal Concern
Repression seems to figure prominently into the puzzle of pornography. In 2009 Michael P. Twohig, a psychologist at Utah State University, asked 299 undergraduate students whether they considered their pornography consumption problematic; for example, causing intrusive sexual thoughts or difficulty finding like-minded sex partners. Then he assessed the students with an eye to understanding the root causes of their issues.
It turns out that among porn viewers, the amount of porn each subject consumed had nothing to do with his or her mental state. What mattered most, Twohig found, was whether the subjects tried to control their sexual thoughts and desires. The more they tried to clamp down on their urge for sex or porn, the more likely they were to consider their own pornography use a problem. The findings suggest that suppressing the desire to view pornography, for example, for moral or religious reasons, might actually strengthen the urge for it and exacerbate sexual problems. It??s all about ???personal views and personal values,?? Twohig says. In other words, the effects of pornography???positive or negative???have little to do with the medium itself and everything to do with the person viewing it.

ating whether or not porn dollars this or that, is banging goats healthy, does porn objectify women, and does it make cheaters..... Let me directly answer your question Nights. Specifically to what you asked and leaving out the many things you weren't asking about.

Is one member of a relationship watching porn a few days a week healthy or unhealthy for a relationship? Why?
Posted by GemsRaGalsBestPal
Additionally, I'd like to add that porn is often an important part of masturbation. Masturbation is healthy in a relationship, research goes to show that most people masturbate more when they are in a healthy sexual relationship.
Thus again, porn is not only healthy in a relationship it leads to a HEALTHIER relationship.click to expand

I also think it's important to pick an argument and stick with it. #justsaying.

Umm... I went to the Netherlands a couple of years ago, went through several cities including Amsterdam and I didn??t see any "disaster" or chaos or anything of the sort. In fact everything was very clean, orderly, trains are always on time, public services are fully functional and everybodys?? really friendly, even a helpful police officer who I asked for information at a train station. (friendly police officer? no waaaaay!!! Those words don??t normally mix) No idea what this guy is talking about...
Oh... I really enjoyed the Rembrandt and Van Gogh museums as well
