what are the good and bad effect of pornography?

Nothing to add really to the other gentleman's excellent answer.\n\nExcept perhaps that the "good" effect is immediate, whereas the bad effects tend to last a long time, long enough perhaps to ruin a man's character or relationship or marriage.

You could go with the route of pornography corrupting the morals of society.  You could even relate it to the fact that over X% of Americans have some type of organized religion and while the Laws of the US protect pornography under the 1st amendment every religion (to my knowledge) frowns upon it.  You might also want to add that while the Constitution is meant to separate church and state that the line between the two is continually being blurred with a major political party gathering around conservative christian rights, and the recent court cases upholding the word God on currency, state building, pledge of allegiance, etc...  Hope this helps.  :-)

IT SURE IS! FIRSTLY BECAUSE IT OVERFLOWS ONES BRAIN WITH THE IMAGES THAT U SEE ...RESULTING IN A HIGHER SEX DRIVE AND FRUSTRATION LEVEL. WATCHING PORNOGRAPHY CAN LEAD TO REGULAR SEXUAL ACTIVITY OF MASTUR****** AND IN SOME CASES RESULTS IN RAPES AND ABUSES. IN CASE OF MARRIED MEN,,,IT CAN LEAD TO EXPERIMENTATION OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY AS PROJECTED THRU THE VIDEOS AND PICTURES..AND CAN LEAD MEN TOWARDS WANTING TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE SEXUAL PARTNER. FINALLY, IT CAN LEAD TO TIMEWASTE AND IS A WORTHLESS SOURCE OF DISTRACTION.

People think porn is bad thing because they don't want their kid and family to see. \nTo see a porn in public is bad but see in private is good.\n\nIt is just like doing ****** in private but in public you should be nice.

pornography is degrading women ! most women in that line of work chose it because they feel it is the only way they can make decent money, (does it promote violence) yes sometimes . Is it harmful again yes it can be ,especially when young men are viewing it because it gives them a warped idea of what sex should be like, most decent women will not condone what takes place in porn.

It's not an addiction, it's perfectly normal, and healthy for males young and old. It lowers blood pressure, eases stress, and is a natural way to relieve tension and pressure. The people who make porn are not the victim, they make there money. Who is the victim in this great crime of yours? At least you are not pent up, and sexually frustrated out raping people. Sex does sell, so what. If you are sick of porn, maybe you should get some new porn. Beyond that, it's just your mind messing with you. Who are you living for? You, or them? I am living for me.

Basically, pornography.

The only side effect I'm aware of is that women who masturbate have better sex generally, as they are more comfortable with their bodies and knowing what gets them off helps them steer men in the right direction.

I believe porn desensitizes someone for the real thing.  Studies also indicate the same thing.  It also sets people up for unrealistic situations, and thinking about other people sexually.  Porn is also the number one addiction in the US, especially internet porn.  So, take all that into consideration, if you want more info or don't believe me check it out for yourself.  It also has been linked to violence, abhorrent sexual crimes in most cases, perpetrators admit to having viewed porn since their younger days.  Supporting the desensitizing facts, the criminals need more, and more exposure for arousal, and more and more violent actions to become aroused. I have seen it in people I am close to, firsthand.

Yes, I have used porn...although we have a healthy sex life...it is used to spice things up...some partners like or need visual stimulation and others may need vocal stimulation...it may enhance your sexual experiences...and possibly fulfill some fantasies you and your partner may have.

Yeah it may help as some people are more sexually aroused while watching porn. but beware it can cause sexual addiction. You can find more information on impotence at

Porn is highly emotionless.  You have to seperate real experience in your mind with those seen in porn.  A friend of mne worked in a porn shop and was so overcome with porn images he didn't find the naked body exciting at all.  He eventually seperated the two, real and fiction, and met a girlfriend that although could not show him anything he hadn't SEEN bafore, he hadn't FELT it.  Not physically or emotionally.  Porn is aimed at the imagination.  You imagine it happening to you.  Real life is different and far more sensual.  Reacquaint yourself with it.

Physical health - no. Mental health - yes. You create a dependence for yourself, and it's never good to have a dependence of this nature. It always turns into something worse. It starts as masturbation, and almost always turns into pornography, and all of the crime that follows that. \nThe best way is to learn to control yourself, and do it as rarely as you possibly can. You'll become a lot stronger mentally.
