Figuring out the risk to benefit ratio of watching pornography may just be one of the

controversial topics that scientist and devoted member of catholic church and other religious

group can’t seem to completely agree on. But one thing is for sure most of the people, boys,

girls, members of LGBTQ+, regardless of age and status, watches porn. People might think and

believe that it only leads to negative effects especially to teenagers such as teenage pregnancy or

unwanted pregnancy. It may be seems to unbelievable to hear that watching pornography has

benefits especially in our health.

are two benefits of watching porn. They reasoned out that it’s healthy, sometimes better than the

years, The more one uses pornography, the more lonely one becomes. It leaves a feeling of

loneliness and anxiety, pornography is the only way to fix it for them. People with pornography

problems they want to keep it secret because they hide something that they are fear to reveal. It is

important for them to have a good support system from loved ones. People should not be

something that no one talk about because a lot of people facing struggles with it. It is important

to create atmospheres of love instead of shame. Just like other problems, pornography can’t be

solved alone.
