Pornography is one of the things that is commonly known today by various circles of society.


 Gaming arena

Pornography according to the KBBI is the depiction of erotic behavior by painting or writing to arouse sexual desire; reading material that is deliberately and solely designed to arouse sensuality in sex.


The activity of consuming pornography is increasingly easy to find among adolescents and children, due to the rapid advancement of technology. This activity arises because of someone's curiosity, but they don't get the right place to find out about it. The author can illustrate that talking about sex is still taboo in Indonesia. The question that arises is, according to the author, how dangerous is it to consume pornography with a fairly frequent intensity? There are many impacts that can be caused when someone is addicted to consuming pornography.

Some of these impacts can already be seen among the Indonesian people themselves

1. Domestic violence

The author who was once someone who is addicted to pornography sees one thing that is very easy to find in various scenes on the web - pornography web. The scene where actors and actresses use violence when having sex. This is of course something the director has arranged in such a way that this violent incident looks like something very enjoyable for both parties to experience. In the real world, this is simply not true. Nobody likes being slapped, or beaten violently. The loyal viewers of these violent scenes are increasingly forgetting that all the things that are watched are only scenes that have been arranged, just as we watch movies in the cinema. Habits that we see continuously - without realizing it will enter our brains, and make us curious to do it in the real world. The result? A person will easily resort to violent action when things that are sexual have arrived. These things can be seen in domestic violence that never ends, from year to year.


2. Rape


One thing the authors learned when they still watched pornography was that sexual intercourse was described as a transaction. The value of this sex itself is getting lost over time. Values such as effort, affection, and care are rarely depicted in pornographic scenes. Coercion, violence, and momentary gratification are the most common. As with point number 1, when the value of sex has started to disappear when sex is considered only a transaction, and when women are considered to be only an object as depicted in the pornographic scene, rape will always occur and will never stop. Until now, the author has never raped anyone, and my parents never advised about rape. The advice given by the author's parents was that as a man, he should be willing and able to protect a woman. This continues to be what the author remembers when living in society.


3 Chose to be an audience


The third point is one of the most terrible that the author has experienced for himself. One thing that absolutely cannot be denied by everyone who watches pornographic films is that they are used to being spectators, not as the main actors. When writers often consume pornographic films, I prefer to be in the third person, seeing people whom I love to connect with other people. This is certainly very scary when we enter into a serious relationship, such as marriage, where there are only two people who influence each other, not three or four. The culture of being an audience as soon as possible must be replaced immediately so that when entering into a serious relationship, someone can voluntarily and happily live it happily and wholeheartedly.


The three points above may seem like impossible things for someone who has never done it. For some of us who still frequently watch pornography, the three things above are only a small part of the life impact that can happen to everybody who watch porn. Hopefully, over time, you can slowly reduce the porn watching intensity so the quality of your life can get better
