When Is Porn Use a Problem

Studies have also shown that pornography use may mis-wire reward circuits, causing sexual dysfunction, and re-enforcing dependence on porn (Park et al., 2016).

According to researchers, 17 percent of pornography users are compulsive (Cooper, Delmonico & Berg, 2000), leading to distress and dysfunction. In other work (Grubbs et al., 2015; Blais-Lecours et al., 2016), feeling out of control is only partly due to higher frequency of use, with correlations between the two ranging from weak to strong.

Daspe and colleagues (2018) recruited people in relationships to complete an online survey about pornography use. They surveyed 1036 people, about 50 percent women, mainly between the ages of 18 and 35. Most had been in a relationship over a year, 30 percent were going out but did not live together, 54 percent lived together, and 15.6 percent were married. A third had children, and the majority were male-female couples.

Problems with porn -Overindulging can have side effects

A 2011 survey by Italian researchers at the Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine surveyed 28,000 men who categorized themselves as being addicted to porn. The results showed that many men, some as young as 14, suffered from “sexual anorexia.”

Most college students are no strangers to porn. In fact, college-aged males and females make up the second-largest demographic of porn viewers, according to a 2015 infographic released by the adult entertainment juggernaut PornHub.

Thirty-one percent of viewers are between the ages of 18 and 24, the infographic showed. Additionally, a 2015 survey from Covenant Eyes showed on average, nine out of 10 boys and six out of 10 girls viewed porn before the age of 18.

For The Spectrum’s 2018 sex survey, 222 out of 346 students said they watch porn. Students that do watch porn watch at different rates weekly, most watching at least once a week and some watching twice a day.

“Before porn was widespread across the internet, it used to enhance people’s sex lives,” Anllo said. “But now, there are people with compulsive addictions as a result of watching it too much.” Anllo said she’s noticed that more and more young people are being influenced by porn and as a result, view themselves as inadequate compared to the actors on their phone and computer screens. People are going as far as getting cosmetic surgery to enhance their genitals to mimic professionals’ body parts.

Another issue floating around the world of porn lies within the ethics of the trade. With a large portion of its viewers being under the age of 18, this raises the question: is porn a realistic platform for young adults to learn about sex?

More to infidelity than simply sowing your oats

According to a new study, researchers have found seven reasons why people cheat. A team of American researchers surveyed 495 adults with an average age of 20 years.

More than 77 percent respondents confessed that they had “fallen out of love” with their primary partner. A relationship expert concluded that the cheating partner no longer feels that their partner loves them, rather than the other way around

More than 41 percent of participants justified their cheating with the cause that they did not feel highly committed to their primary partner.

Excuses like “I was drunk” and “It just happened” may be cliche but they did come out as legitimate reasoning for 70 percent adulterers.

More than half of participants, 57 percent specifically, cited “I wanted to enhance my popularity”, as a motivation. Experts concluded it to insecurity and low-self esteem.

More than 43 percent of adulterers said that they sometimes cheated as an act of pure rage. Either they wanted revenge on the primary partner or they just had a bad day.

More than a third of participants said they cheated because they wanted to have sex. Majority of these responders were males.

Meanwhile, most of the women adulterers cited ignorance or neglect in their primary relationship as the main reason for cheating.

The Devil vs. God: 5 Areas of Your Life Satan Wants to Attack

According to a 2015 Gallup poll, about nine in 10 Americans say they believe in God (89%). However, the same poll shows that only about 61% believe Satan actually exists.

Similarly, the Pew Research Center’s 2014 Religious Landscape Study found that roughly seven-in-ten (72%) Americans say they believe in heaven — defined as a place “where people who have led good lives are eternally rewarded.

But at the same time, only 58% of U.S. adults believe in hell — defined as a place “where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.”

As Christians, it’s important to be aware of the devil’s strategies and schemes to be on guard against them. James 4:7 reads, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Does Watching Porn Increase the Likelihood of Divorce

In a new study titled “Till Porn Do Us Part?”—yes, that’s the real title—sociologists used survey data to measure the marital effects of watching porn.

“Beginning pornography use between survey waves nearly doubled one’s likelihood of being divorced by the next survey period, from 6 percent to 11 percent, and nearly tripled it for women, from 6 percent to 16 percent,” said Samuel Perry, sociology professor at University of Oklahoma and the study’s lead author.

Perry said. “But our findings suggest that religion has a protective effect on marriage, even in the face of pornography use. Because religious groups stigmatize divorce and prioritize marital stability, it is likely that married Americans who are more religious will experience a greater combination of community pressure and internalized moral pressure to stay married, regardless of pornography’s effect on their marital quality

“We took this to mean that pornography use—perhaps if it’s discovered by one’s spouse unexpectedly—could rock an otherwise happy marriage to the point of divorce, but it doesn’t seem to make an unhappy marriage any worse than it already is,” Perry explained.

Survey takes pulse of campus ministers, students with eye to betterment

A survey of more than 4,000 Catholic campus ministers and students at U.S. colleges, showed that both the ministers and the students generally like what’s happening in their campus ministry setting.

Of the 1,911 active campus ministers nationally identified, representing 816 campuses, 1,047 responded, a response rate of 57 percent. Survey results were released in October.

Pornography and mental health were the two areas where students said they were more likely to struggle a great deal.

Men’s sexist attitudes ‘shaped by first exposure to pornography’

The age at which a male first sees pornography is associated with certain sexist attitudes later in life, according to a team of researchers from the University of Nebraska.

Of the 330 undergraduates surveyed, with a median age of 20, the average age they first saw pornography was 13.

Lead researcher Alyssa Bischmann and her team asked 46 questions measured how they conformed to one of two behavioral traits – seeking power over women or sexually promiscuous behavioral and living a playboy lifestyle.

They found those who saw porn young were most likely to agree with statements that asserted male dominance, such as “things tend to be better when men are in charge”.

Researcher Christina Richardson said this could be because those who were exposed to porn early often did not enjoy sex in real life.

“These men often have a lot of performance anxiety with women in real life. Sexual experiences don’t go as planned or the way they do in pornography,

The most frightening finding from the survey was just how prolific this problem is. 1 in 5 surveyed participants reported being a victim of image-based abuse.

The most commonly reported form? The non-consensual taking of a nude or sexual image.

More concerning still are how the numbers change for marginalised groups. The survey found the number of victims increased to 1 in 2 for people with disabilities

and those who identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Age and sexuality were also factors, with the numbers changing to 1 in 3 for people aged 16 – 19 and people in the LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and questioning) community.

“We found that victims of image-based sexual abuse experienced high levels of psychological distress, consistent with a diagnosis of moderate to severe depression or an anxiety disorder,” Nicola said.

Boberg said pornographers hope to hook children early using child porn and video games. He said all someone has to do to access pornographic images is to simply visit a gaming website, and by the time these children are adults, they’re already addicted.

“This is an issue of — especially when it comes to the children — of creating new neural pathways in the brain that that child’s brain is not ready to handle,” Boberg said.
