Does porn make you more chill?

There are people who will say porn is the stuff of the devil and is responsible for all kinds of evil in the world. People who actually watch and appreciate the stuff know that porn reduces stress.

Few if any people feel more stressed and depressed after they cum. The whole process of having an orgasm relaxes the body and releases hormones that make you happy.

If sex is good for you, porn must be, too. We wanted to make sure, since it’s our business and all, so we delved into the science for you to understand:

• The reasons people use porn
• How porn affects your sex life
• What porn does to your life in general

So you can feel even happier and even less stressed as you stroke one out tonight.

Why do people watch porn?

You’d think that the answer to why people watch porn was pretty simple – to get off. It’s not always the case, though.

One recent study led by a Hungarian researcher found that the reasons for watching porn are varied:

• Sexual pleasure
• Sexual curiosity
• Emotional distraction or suppression
• Stress reduction
• Fantasy
• Boredom avoidance
• Lack of sexual satisfaction
• Self-exploration

People who watch a lot of porn say that their main reasons are finding sexual pleasure, avoiding boredom, and releasing stress. Clearly, porn helps a lot of people relax when it’s one of the main reasons for watching.

When you’re more stressed, you’re more likely to seek out and watch porn. Sure, that’s what any porn website is going to tell you.

It’s actually borne out in fact, though. People who report that they are stressed watch more porn than those who are less stressed, and the more stress you experience, the more porn you watch.

Another interesting link with porn is loneliness. It’s pretty normal for couples to watch porn together, around one-third of women say they watch it with their partner, but it does have the stigma of being a solo pursuit.

An American team surveyed over 1,200 people in 2017 and found that lonely people do watch porn more often. When you think about it, it makes sense – porn can reduce the stress and anxiety of being alone.

How does watching porn affect your sex life?

It’s clear that porn reduces stress for many people who like to indulge to help their sexual arousal and exploration along. Plenty of uptight kinds say that it’s bad for your sex life and you still shouldn’t watch it.

Bullshit.

Anyone who’s ever had sex and watched porn at some point will know that porn sex and real sex are very different. We have different expectations with our sex and porn and it’s not a bad thing to have both.

Does spanking one out help your sex life? As we saw before, lots of people use porn out of curiosity or to spark new ideas – women especially said that they used porn out of self-exploration.

In another bit of science that looked at women who watch porn and how they respond, similar stuff was found. Women told them that the main reason they watch porn was to cum easier and those who watched porn regularly had more sex than those that don’t.

How does watching porn affect your life in general?

Porn is like anything you enjoy; do it in moderation and you’re going to be just fine.

It’s worth pointing out that porn addiction is real, just like alcohol or drug addiction. No one’s banning alcohol because people can get addicted to it – but if you feel like porn is taking control of your life, seek help from a professional.

Even people who watch a lot of porn don’t tend to find it to be a problem with their life. Only around 3-8% of people who watch a lot of porn say that it causes them problems – taking in a lot of on-screen sex in itself isn’t always bad.

It’s not going to turn you into a sex-crazed maniac and you’re not going to turn into a social pariah from watching a lot of porn. You are going to be less stressed, what does that do to your quality of life?

Danish scientists wanted to understand just that. Thousands of Danes aged between 18-38 took a survey about their porn habits and their life.

Turns out, those who watch more porn report a better life. What’s more, what negative effects were reported were much smaller than the good in the positive effects. Having a good life is definitely a lot less stressful than a bad one…

One last positive life effect of porn – it apparently makes you better at math. When two groups of men were shown erotic images, they did better on a maths test than those who were shown normal images. Not sure how that works, but yeah, being able to add up is one less worry.

Does porn reduce stress?

Cumming, in general, reduces stress and is good for you, whether you’re a man, woman, or any other gender. There’s no data about whether cumming with porn is better or worse than getting off in any other way, but it can’t hurt.

Porn tends to mean you’ll have a better sex life, for women at least. You’ll know your body more, find it easy to orgasm, and be regularly getting your boost of happy hormones.

As well as better sex life, you’ll also have an overall nicer life when watching porn. Want to check out the best creator-made porn on the internet? Our models are waiting with teasers, special fan content, and exclusive videos to buy.
