Porn does more harm than good.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. You're profile picture is somewhat misleading, but it was a lapse in judgement on my part to assume gender based off of it. No disrespect was intended. Bizarre Porn To say that this porn is the cause of negative behavior is nothing more than an assumption.I'll admit, my opponent is correct when he says people can find such porn out of nothing more than curiosity. But if viewing it makes someone think they themselves should pursue it, then my point still stands. They come to such a conclusion, not because of the porn, but because of issues that already existed. Adolescents Using Pornography Just to be clear, I do not think masturbating to porn is better than sex, though I find it odd that Pro would bring this up when he's talking about adolescents. Adolescents shouldn't be having sex, as teenage pregnancy is not only capable of diminishing, but is very likely to diminish, a persons potential for a successful future. If anything, this is just another positive aspect of pornography.He also says that it's possible to masturbate without porn, but is this really true? When a person masturbates with nothing but imagination, they are still imagining pornographic material. The only real difference is whether their eyes are open or closed. Pornography in Relationships I never said porn has no effect on relationships. Only that its effect can be positive.My opponent states, "The fact is that relationships AREN'T built on sex, but on expressions of commitment, sharing, caring, joy, mutual trust, and love."This isn't entirely true. A relationship can be built on sex. But I will agree that the more meaningful ones are not. This, however, is not to say sex isn't important. Many marriages do fail because the sex has gone stale. This is because a lack of intimacy implies a lack of love. Why do you think it's commonly referred to as making love?Pornography is fantasy, true. But so are dreams. If someone has a dream that they can fly, they don't then wake up and jump off a building thinking they still can (provided they are mentally stable). This is because we have the ability to sperate fantasy from reality.But the fantasy of pornography can be used by people as a basis for ideas to reinvigorate a stale sex-life. Ideas such as different positions, or ways to roleplay.It can be harmful, but only if ones using it as a way to not be intimate with their partner. And, in that case, when porn means more to a person than their partner, the two of them probably shouldn't be partners in the first place. As for Pros' other arguments, they are all either bare assertions with no backing, or simply nonsense (What exactly is a "small majority"?).Pornography is no more addictive than anybodies favorite TV show. To compare it with drugs, which can be chemically addictive, is just silly.Adolescent hormones running wild is prevented by masturbation, which is easier to do with porn. As I said before, it helps with relieving sexual needs, and then they can focus on more important things, such as finding a meaningful relationship where sex isn't the main concern.Plain and simple, the majority of people watch porn. We know this because it's a multi-billion dollar industry, and this is true despite the availability of free porn on the internet. If porn were as harmful as Pro insists, the majority of us would be crazed, sexual deviants. This is simply not the case.As such, it stands that porn does not do more harm than good.
