Enjoying porn is not inherently damaging to guys or women. However I would offer some cautions. There are people who probably should not view pornography, like those with poor body image or those who have actually been sexually preyed on. Depending on your option in viewing, you can establish unrealistic expectations about sex or what individuals like or how you'll be expected to "carry out." And enjoying with someone needs true approval.
When none of these red flags are up, porn can certainly have advantages. Counselors often suggest it to assist individuals become comfy with a particular dream they or their partner may have. Porn can reboot a couple's sex life. It can give you concepts, or help you connect with what turns you on.
Pornography can reboot a couple's sex life. It can offer you ideas, or assist you contact what turns you on. Pornography can deliver you there at best, or disgust you at worst. All of it depends on what you pick to view. With the schedule of porn online, it's possible to sample adequate porn rapidly that you don't need to find yourself viewing wall-to-wall hard-core sex if it's plot driven erotica that interest you. You're only a victim of bad pornography if you let yourself be.
And a word about sex or porn dependency. I don't believe in it. Unlike a chemical compound, like opiates, you can't become "addicted" to sex or pornography; you can become a compulsive audience. In this case, it's not the porn that's the issue; it's the compulsive personality. If it weren't porn being utilized to act out one's compulsive nature, it might be food or some other behavior.
As for whether it's damaging or beneficial to the performers, let's take females first. There are some who pick to perform due to the fact that they like sex a lot and they consider it a fantastic method to earn a living. Then there are those who are drawn to porn as a method of sex acting out subconscious psychological problems-- looking for daddy's love or punishment for being a bad lady. For numerous, it's most likely a little of each. Even women with the very best mental health will deal with some downsides from this work. Our culture consumes pornography at record numbers, but the females who perform are still evaluated roughly.
I'm uncertain the male entertainers get out entirely unscathed either. While they might not be judged as harshly as the females, ultimately they're considered as freaks who make their living with their anatomy. John Holmes's fate is the ultimate cautionary tale.
Possibly if we weren't still so taken in with guilt and embarassment about sex, neither watching nor carrying out in these movies would carry the weight it does. However then, perhaps we would not be so thinking about them, either. If the fruit were not forbidden, would anybody care to take a bite?
