Watching porn videos not harmful for men, says report

Watching pornographic videos does not impact the sexual habits of a man and there is no ill-effect on his sexual relationships with his partner.  Allaying the fears of negative impact on men watching pornographic videos, a report conducted by a Canadian researcher over a period of two years says that there is nothing harmful in the practice.

Simon Louis Lajeunesse, a Montreal University associate professor, has asserted that his research discards the common view that pornography enthusiasts seek out in life what they see in X-rated videos, that ultimately leads to sexual abuse or denigration of women.

Denying the common apprehension of negative impact of porn videos, Simon said: ‘It would be like saying that vodka ads lead to alcoholism.’

His research proves that a majority of men watch movies containing explicit pornographic content to satisfy their ‘fringe fantasy’ and it is wrong to assume that it leads to criminal behavior.

Simon said that he face a lot of problems while conducting his research, as adult video stores and sex shops refused to allow him to post notices inviting men to participate.  However, a handful of universities permitted him to address their campuses, and after appealing to some 2,000 mostly women students to take part, 20 heterosexual men agreed to come out to talk on the issue of sex in their lives.

Among the many discoveries that Simon derived during his course of the study, he reached a conclusion that all the respondents watched adult videos online and almost all searched alone for online erotica, whether in a committed relationship or not.

The study also revealed that men tend to fast-forward through scenes that do not interest them, often involving sexual violence or group ejaculation which they found "disgusting."

According Simon’s research, men search out pornography that relates to their earliest sexual fantasies, generally conceived during their onset of puberty and not looking for any new tricks to show off.
