Why Sex Is Overrated and Porn Should Be Banned

When you Drive your car, do you drive it to your destination or would you let sex take the wheel?

Why Sex Is Overrated and Porn Should Be Banned

Sex, it really is a wonderful thing. From your first experience to your last, people can't get enough of it. It is from this that the miracle of childbirth is possible. But when newborn becomes newborn pleasure, does this change your stance?

Pornography is the "limb tangle" of sex. Pornhub released their annual results weighing in at 21 billion people visiting the website and 4.3 billion hours worth of pornography consumed. Doesn't it all get to a point where you've had enough? A point where you realize that this one thing is simply sex.

Why Sex Is Overrated and Porn Should Be Banned

Many could argue that sex is the reason for our existance (which could be argued) but most would agree both porn and sexual activity is for simple pleasure. Yet has anyone thought about the feeling of making something? The feeling that you get after coming home from a long day at work safe? The feeling of growing something significant in the world and making a difference? What about even simpler things like friendship? When you dig deeper and deeper it is evident that the answer to this is yes, sex is overrated. There are way too many price tags and too many ratings for such a common and insignificant thing.

Why Sex Is Overrated and Porn Should Be Banned

It's almost as if I declared one day that playing with the end of your pencil was forbidden and that doing it was wrong. Then everyone would do it, most likely make memes and probably even make videos on the dark web of rubbing your pencil.

Just take a second now, step back and think. Is sex needed to survive? Is it absolutely complusary? Sure I won't make the truth abstract, for some it is all of the above but is it something we should let drive our lives?

I personally believe as someone who has been surrounded as a child and teenager with such atrocities that sex and more so, porn is wrong. I believe that porn is something that should be banned, there are many different people gaining money. The owner of buisnesses, the domain hosters, the actors and directors, the internet companies and places which sell sex toys and technology used in porn. However, take a look at how twisted this society, no this world, has become. How many lives have been ruined and how many more to come?

Why Sex Is Overrated and Porn Should Be Banned

Taking a look back in time to the earliest of people to roam this Earth, artworks and pictures can be seen of men and women walking around peacefully naked. No men popping one, no covering up of the "private areas" and most of all, no need for porn. If porn did not exist, then the secrecy put on female's "girls" and both men and women's "downstairs" would not exist. This would mean that people would not find these genitals so significant and arousing. Understandably, people have common decency and dignity though porn is a large contributer to the sexual attraction put on pictures of women's pants for example. I personally believe that this would substantially decrease the rate of sex scandals, rape and many other sex-related problems let alone the pressure put on relationships over sex.

On the topic of the pressure put on relationships because of porn, this website, GAG, has over time revealed to me that this is an evident problem. More commonly with females but evident in males (myself included). Porn puts such great expectations on relationships and from people looking to date online on datings apps and websites. My favourite quote that would simply save everyone from this endless loop of expectations and rape is; Expectations always lead to disappointment. Never expect anything from anybody. Be self content. Anticipate everything but expect nothing.
Dr Anil Kr Sinha quotes

This article is proof that sometimes these sexual expectations go too far and a when there isn't a no to sex, a yes isn't required. https://www.bustle.com/articles/135171-i-didnt-say-no-but-it-was-still-rape?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=owned&utm_campaign=sexrelationshipsbustle

It really is a shame that the world has come to this.

Maybe you could make a change? Make someone's life and your own better? Just take a little and consider this

  • Sex is healthy, and porn - like many things that we intake - should be taken in moderation. If someone is controlling their sex life and emotions with porn, then that's an addiction which really isn't great for the individual or any relationship they have.

    Then we have morals. Is one's sex life great if the couple adds a third wheel and is okay with that? Is a couple happy if they only have sex on Wednesdays and engage in the same position each time? We're all different, and we all have different boundaries. One couple can't really tell another how to have a great love/sex life.

    I wouldn't be so quick to crusade for an all-out ban on porn. Some couples enjoy viewing it periodically to get a kick start during their own love-making and really have no trouble disconnecting from it once it's over. It is just sex, and when humans watch sexual activity whether it's in porn or in person, it arouses us. It makes it easier and quicker to get our own needs met - if we so choose.

    If you ask me what limits I might have on porn, it might be different from someone else. So who is really right and wrong?

    • No one is right or wrong, true. Though this is my take on it. I've seen way too many people's lives and relationships ruined because of porn. Though not my relationship but for myself, porn really was the screw around of my childhood. It made me, and my friends expect way too much from sex and everything was just about porn or sex. It all came to a point where it seems unnecessary. Sure I agree that couples do watch porn and stay together. That is perfectly fine and they are entitled to do so. Though I personally find it wrong

    • That doesn't sound like the end of the world. Or an issue. Just part of life. Not everything is what you expect its going to be. Even though I still say if you think its over rated. You're just bad at it.

    • AllThingsQuestioned. I find your views somewhat strange being your only 19 . Not totally wrong in your own experience, but others relationships and so on. Wouldn't you think you'de have to live alittle longer to make an assumption like that in order for this to be true?

  • I do agree with some of the things said. This really makes a great argument.
    Recently for some reason as I got older I really grew to dislike sex (not the act but the concept) and I asked myself what is sex for? Babies. Are we having babies? No. So sex is useless. Also, sex without any emotional connection or intimacy really reminds me of two gorillas shagging (lol don't ask) My husband and I had talked a lot while I was going through this (and I still am) But in all reality we are wired to reproduce. Animals haven't overcome the seasonal boundaries and only cycle when they are able. Human females cycle every month (normally, but it's also normal to have longer cycles) and men are wired to reproduce as much as possible to pass on their genes. In reality, porn mimics the act without actually having sex, which is why it is so incredibly addicting. I really don't feel that porn should be banned because as a female I actually learned to be a better lover from watching it. When I'm feeling secure I have no problem with it. ALTHOUGH, I absolutely agree that everything and everyone is oversexed and obsessed with sex instead of sexual intimacy, so for me it seems like evolution just reversed back to our primitive ways. Literally everything in the media has to do with fighting and fucking. I'm not exactly happy about it and it's become so socially acceptable.

    • Overexposed and imbalanced. Self discipline is your defense. Don't get jaded.

    • Coffinspire, your husband has his hands full

    • @YourName123 you have no clue lol

  • I don't care much for porn and sex is over rated. I could live with my husband and no sex.

    • I can tell you from experience he realizes this and it ruined his will to live and wants to get away from you but can't bear the expense. If he won the lottery today his first stop would be a lawyer. I'd rather my wife would have screwed the whole basketball team than be in the state (as she is). Of course, I am old enough to realize there is no gain to be had from confronting her with this issue.

    • @YourName123 you don't even know how much sex we have. You are judging me by extreme measures. I don't like negative people.

    • Wait a minute you're the one who said you could live with out any sex. Your come back of "you don't even know how much sex we have" is a ridiculous one considering you just said you could live without any sex. You are the one going to extremes and it is obvious a defensive reaction.

  • Ah porn and sex is great. No need to ban it...

    • I couldn't agree more @lmcmullan 😉

  • So many arbitrary generalizations and unsupported arguments here I don't even know where to start.

  • A ban on porn would be an infringement on our First Amendment rights!!!
    It's very simple if you don't want to watch porn stay off the porn sites, it's not like you can watch it on TV although some of what you see is very suggestive. If you don't like it you're free to change the channel.

    Sex is absolutely necessary to survive! Civilization as we know it would perish without sex! For me sex is compulsory, I get very mean if I don't get sex!

  • This thread should be immortalized on Gag to show how absolutely stupid people are and how they miss the point and write whatever they want. Common sense isn't common and neither, apparently are literacy skills.

    Great Mytake @allthingsconsidered. I even feel like people would have even better sex without porn. There would b no expectation of how sex is supposed to b done, it fucks a lot of people up. Young men cheating and degrading their partners but psychoogically not understanding thats what their doing because they think they are just doing sex.

    And the majority of young girls who have grown up on porn try so hard to be hot and down and fake orgasms at their own expense. It all stems from porn

    • With your first statement are you reffering to the fact that I had no idea about how to write a mytake? Because you'd be absolutely correct >.< I realised after I accidentally clicked publish that I had spelling and grammar issues and I sorta prayed people didn't pick up on it

    • Not at all im talking about some peoples reactions to your my take. I said great mytake

    • Yeh ikr. People have their own opinions and we always will have different views but damn there are a lot of people who love porn which sort of disturbs me but meh I feel faithful to my partner so whatever floats people's boats.

  • Sex is vital to the survival of our culture and a key part to the love and devotion shown in a relationship, as they share a unique closeness.
    Porn is just footage, in which all people are willing participants, no one is violated, and anyone with two brain cells to rub together over the age of 16 should know it is not an accurate depiction of sexuality, or love, and is a cheap, but harmless, form of entertainment.

    Further, your proclamation that porn is why we seek to cover our privates, and that without it, men would not rape girls, or whatever your horseshit point of view is, is retarded.

    I don't know why you are so disturbed by sexuality, but claiming you can speak for 7 billion people and declare sex overrated, as well as thinking you should be able to decide what people freely choose to do, in the making, selling, buying, and viewing, of the act of sex, has led me to this simple rebuttal:

    Fuck you and fuck off.

  • "Why Sex Is Overrated and Porn Should Be Banned"
    aka "Why Enjoy Life When You Can Have It All Dull And Stuffy Instead"

  • Interesting take. I was gonna wite something on the the theme sex is overdone.

    Sex is way over hyped in our society because it sells and people get addicted to it just like anything else... its a dopamine hit in our brains. Sex is good, nothing wrong with it with a person, but it is way over focused on. The problem with porn, which I don't watch but saw long ago, is it is devoid of love and relationship.

    I'm not sure about banning it. Ban it and it goes black market and they make more $... we tried this in the US with alcohol and it didn't go well. Maybe instead, regulate it. I don't know... people have to make choices and be informed, but I could be talked out of that position:)

    Don't buy it, fight it, help men out of it who are stuck on it, and try to find good relationships so you can have a real person in your life. only answer I have at the moment. I don't spend a dime on it.

  • 😏 yeah and there is a direct correlation between sex and love. Maybe we should ban love, kindness and any form of friendship too. *sarcasm*

    • yiu didn't need to state "sarcasm" at the end

    • There isn't a correlation between sex and love. There is a correlation between porn and sex. In my opinion that was posted on mytake, porn is wrong and ruins a lot of things.

    • Yea! Only if you admit that you have a problem being addicted to it.

  • Better to meet a girl who was watching a lot of porn, then a girl who had many dicks on her, and the same goes for guy who watches porn instead of cheating.

  • If you don't take porn seriously and use it for stimulation and not a how to book it's fine. It would be better if it wasn't made by retarded Directors that make the actors do stupid stuff (fingers down throat, facials, cum swapping, fake constant moaning, Bj's between every position).

    Sex is amazing, without it a relationship would just be a friendship. Other than child birth it's the closest/strongest connection 2 people could have.

  • Nope.. porn's good, sex's good. End of case.

    I liked that pornHub pic with the word jungle, you can read on the left:
    "She girl her cock fucking he lol pussy great hard time" xD

  • This MyTake is all over the place. Sex is only seen as shameful and wrong only if your religious. I see all the popularity has less to do with the forbidden and more to do with easy access.
    I don't think getting rid of porn will save the world. Its not possible humans are sexually anyway and porn is a form of sexual expression. Even if it were possible what constitutes porn to you? I see it as just the depiction of sex with no inherent plot.
    Porn does not put great expectation on relationships because it is not about relationships its about sex. Does it create unrealistic expectations of sex? If someone is a teenager whose only idea of what sex is like is based on videos from pornhub. Or if someone watches porn excessively sure.
    Porn itself is not intrinsically bad. If we were more comfortable talking about sex it could be better regulated to prevent human trafficking and abuse it may inadvertently cause but if it is clearly consenual its harmless.

    • Firstly yeah sorry. Made this late at night and didn't check over it (also my first). I agree with you. It won't quite save the world but it really would help make the world a better place. Most people and relationships endorse porn. That's fine, whatever floats your boat. But I think it is wrong to have the need to be aroused sexually by someone other than your partner. Though I see where you're coming from, normalising porn would help with a lot of things. When something becomes forbidden and everyone knows it, people get an urge to do it even more.

    • I'm not talking about normalizing porn. Porn is already considered a pretty normal thing for people to watch as you said yourself it is already common place. I'm talking about normalizing sex there's a difference. If we didn't stigmatize sex so it could exist outside of porn and be depicted within a context as an expression of love as it should be. I read romance novels it is so different when you can feel the couples feelings and motivations behind the act. Porn is not a "need" or it shouldn't be. Its more of a want or an expression. As for sexual arousal it may feel like a betrayal to be aroused by someone other than your partner its not really a conscious choice it is a physical response to external stimulation. I think when it comes to porn from my experience its not necessarily the individual that is arousing but the act itself. The viewer can always image it is their partner. I don't really like porn partly because I don't like how it only makes sex a means to an end.

    • If sex was depicted as and seen as something other than a means to an end it wouldn't be so overrated and porn wouldn't be such an issue because there would be healthy alternatives. Stories rather than projections.

  • sounds like your not doing it right

  • sex is hot!

    • I agree!! Love the pair of heels in your avatar by the way

    • @HeelLover thanks, I often see guys looking at me when I wear them although they are very high so difficult to walk in. I wear them almost every day so I am good in them on nights out.

    • Same here, I wear heels a lot

  • I don't think porn should be banned.

  • Where to start... sex is something that most people enjoy to some degree. Most mature men and women enjoy it and will probably never stop as long as they can enjoy it. To demonize it and say that it is useless, is wrong on so many levels. You state that it should be banned to save women and men, but then all those people will be out of a job! Did you think of that? And for the people that are addicted, and yes there a many, they need to seek help or they will lose their family, job, friends, life. But that is in any sport, hobby, drink , etc. Unless you want a nanny-state, porn will be around forever, as it has been.
    But sex... if you don't enjoy it, fine. But don't tell me I shouldn't do it. Yikes!

  • If someone is obsessed with sex or porn but doesn't hurt you with said obsession, then why prohibit it?

  • I think grown people can make their own decision about porn. We don't need more government in our business.

    • I agree with this, no need for government to be spying on our internet usage.
