Why we use porn

It is a way to try to manage our sexual needs

Porn acts as a way to manage our sexual needs if a woman isn’t doing it for them or they are afraid to ask for it from them. They will turn to porn in order to satisfy that need. The fear that the women close to us will decide to not meet our needs therefore men will turn to porn in order for that to happen.

It is easy

Porn is a way for men to get sex easy supposedly. It is readily available online to consume on a daily basis. They don’t have to work for the sex they get by talking to woman to the point where they can get laid. They get some of the feelings that they would from sex and get from porn.

Fear of judgement

We fear being judged by the other person for liking what we like. Fearing that the type of fantasies that we have the other person will cringe at us or not accept it. We don’t want to judged by others for the desires and fantasies that we have to then seek a safe place in order to live out those fantasies/desires where they can accepted.

Reflection of ourselves/Vanity

It reflects who we are to others then others will choose to either resonate or not resonate with ourselves. It is as though porn is a reflection of our sexual fantasies and desires.

Fear of Rejection

We are afraid of being rejected by someone that we approach. We add the meaning to what we think the rejection will feel then be in our heads before we even go up to her. It is something that we create in our head because we are afraid to approach women.

Porn is a product/service

Porn is the desires and fantasies that are brought to the surface then turned in product/service for others to consume. NSFW games are created as a way to create a point of view of the person or people that created that others can resonate with. It helps them get aroused to then ejaculate afterwards.

To play out our fantasies/desires

Through porn you can live out your fantasies/desires anonymously. You don’t have to worry about feeling the shame and guilt you receive from women that may not like the things that you loike sexually therefore you would be within a place where there is content that based on what you like and dislike. You can play the games that you want to play without that concern that yo would have when you are within a relationship with a women you are having sex with.

Fear

We are afraid. In general we are afraid to show our authentic selves to others. We wouldn’t have to worry about it because there are others that would feel the way we feel about it that we do. We feel like we don’t have worry about what other will think if we have that sort of fantasy/ desire.
