Porn and the Desensitization Phenomenon

Frequent exposure to pornography can lead to desensitization, a state where the individual becomes numb to stimuli that once aroused them. This necessitates seeking out more extreme or varied forms of pornographic content to elicit the same arousal response.

Desensitization not only affects sexual arousal but can also impact real-life sexual experiences, making it difficult for individuals to find satisfaction in intimate relationships and potentially skewing sexual preferences and expectations.
