Porn Addiction in young generations
Porn Addiction in young generations
By: Sarvesh SJB Rana
Teens becoming addicted to
pornography may seem like an unusual scenario, yet it happens more frequently
than you might imagine. Too many teenagers succumb to a fixation that once only
affected a small percentage of adults due to the accessibility of pornographic
content online and peer pressure to check it out. You might be right to not be
overly concerned if you discovered your kid watching porn and put it down to
inexperience and hormones. On the other hand, you should be aware that teen
porn addiction is a real problem and can have serious consequences.
Teenagers now have more access to
pornography than ever because to high-speed Internet and internet savvy. They
don't need to steal a video from a friend's dad or steal a magazine from a
store. Teenagers may easily access porn on their phones and tablets, and much
of it is free. Porn addiction may seem improbable, but it does occur and is
increasingly affecting young people. Teenagers are more susceptible than adults
are to developing addictions and suffering long-term psychological harm as a
result of exposure to pornography. Teenage porn addiction can disrupt and
distort the still-developing brains of teenagers. Some teenagers who struggled
with their porn addiction even developed erectile problems.
Teenagers who are exposed to porn
frequently are probably having their first sex in this way. They are learning
about sexuality from the screen and the fantasy world of porn instead of
experiencing it firsthand. It distorts how these young people perceive what
sex, closeness, and love are actually like in relationships in the real world.
When the teens grow up and become adults, this could lead to relationship
issues. Because it is readily accessible online, how kids perceive modern
pornography is even more harmful than in the past. It is more isolated and can
result in obsession and addiction more quickly. Online porn addiction in teens
can cause feelings of isolation, shame, and confusion.
The intensity of most online porn
is more likely to cause addiction than traditional print or video media.
Teenage girls can develop a porn addiction, although it most frequently affects
boys. Pornography addiction treatment programs give teenagers a way to obtain
support and undo the harm that pornographic media has caused. Asking for
treatment is difficult for anybody struggling with an addiction of any kind,
but it may be especially embarrassing for a teen addicted to porn. When they
believe there is a serious issue with pornography, parents must take
responsibility for keeping an eye on their children's internet behavior and
speaking up. To give that kid a new lease on life and the chance to forge
healthy adult connections, getting counseling is crucial.
Blame it on the ease with which
"evil content" can be accessed on cell phones, but young people,
especially kids, are becoming more aggressive and violent, which leads them to
engage in child abuse, including kidnapping, molestation, and sexual assault.
Experts in child psychology are worried about the growing porn addiction among
youngsters.
The shame element about porn
addiction is huge. But if we remove the shame and talk about it maybe we can
help many people.
“When I was young, there was no
internet it was pretty hard to get an access to porn. I remember I had to put a
lot of effort into being able to watch porn on VHS tapes. And still with all
these limitations, I managed to get myself addicted”.
“I only could imagine how hard it
is with internet on every single smart phone. It is estimated that 90% of young
children have seen porn online. It is just no longer Google or YouTube. It’s
also on all of the websites that gains hundreds and millions of views every
single day. 45 billions visits to Porn hub in the year 2021 and that are
dangerous for the kids like me from the past who starts watching crazy sex
videos too early.”
“I wish someone would have helped
me, not just as a teenager but also as an adult. Porn is certainly like a bad
diet. When you first start eating all the fast food burgers and drinking sweet cold
drinks, you feel good, it gives you some kind of happiness but before you it
all these junk foods, it starts sucking the life out of you. You feel more
tired, less motivated, less healthy, your self esteem falls lower and worst of
all the longer you eat junk food, the harder it gets to switch your eating habits
to the good one, salads will seem like a punishment. And that’s exactly the
thing that happened to me for many years”.
“I didn’t have any idea that porn
was bad for me and it took me a long time to realize the truth about how porn
was made. For 10 minutes short videos shot over few hours. Fake orgasm women
with plenty of make ups and lightening to make them look absolutely perfect.
Carefully selected men. I didn’t know it was all reality on steroids and worst
part was that the longer I watched porn for, the more extreme I wanted to be. My
addiction led me to see some of the darkest human desire. It started sucking
life out of me. I didn’t want to keep watching it but I couldn’t stop and it wasn’t
easy to open up about it. Even the sex education at school decided to totally
ignore the subject of porn”.
Please don’t shy from talking about
sex in your home because if you make it a taboo, your kids will use porn sites
as their main teacher and that’s a bad idea……
Porn can be good for some adults
but there is nothing right in porn, if it starts at the young age and ends up
being the first real addiction to millions and millions of people all across
the world and that’s why despite of the shame I decided to open up because I know
it can help. There are many problems that we can see but this problem of porn
we cannot see because everyone hides it. It times that we remove the shame and
talk about it to our friends, our family and our children because it’s the only
way we can remove the stigma and help each other understand the dark side of
porn addiction.
The dark side of pleasure
According to child
psychologists, minors who frequently watch porn exhibit violent behavior.
Additionally, teenagers frequently exhibit deviant traits including wrath,
sadism, perversion, sexual coercion, and pure sexual enjoyment. The
psychologists blamed parental neglect and easy access to pornographic websites
for the spike in sexual offenses.
