Porn is a great place to figure out what you like — and more importantly, what you don't like. It can also help encourage body positivity and embrace masturbation (hey, it's healthy !). Can you be a feminist and watch porn? Of course! Here's why porn can actually be good for you.
Watching porn helps you figure what and why things turn you on — or off. If you like something, find more in that category and see if it works for you. If it doesn't, find out who the performers are and see if they do it for you. Find someone or something that gets you hot and bothered and think about why. If you are into a particular porn star, support their work (even if, like me, you're broke AF). Send something you really liked to a partner (or partners). It's a great way to start a conversation about what kinds of sex you're interested in and show them what you want to try. I was seeing this guy for six months. I asked if that was what he was into, and he said he didn't know. A grown man didn't know what kind of porn he was into because he was "in and out in 10 minutes" and "didn't really think about it." So he wasn't able to explain what he wanted or even liked. Watching porn with critical thought could have made this dude's life a little better.
Rule 34 exists for a reason. Representation matters. While the porn industry has massive issues with the line between representation and fetishization, there's always space to see a body that looks like yours having sex. I advocate for critical consumption of all media — especially porn — and that includes looking at bodies that resemble your own. XXX porn fights repressive representations of genitalia. Vaginas are wonderfully diverse in shape, size, and color. Porn, with its close-up shots of labia and clitorises, allows viewers the opportunity to see genitalia that look different from their own or the ones they saw in middle school sex ed classes. And all those lovingly shot blow jobs? You guessed it — a great time to learn that penises can curve left or right, be pink or brown or black and any color in between, and can still get off and get someone else off. Porn normalizes genitalia in its diversity.
Porn proves that anyone interested in having sex (with a consenting adult) can — and can be hot while doing it. Curvy, thin, queer, straight, trans, kinky, and vanilla all engage in sex and prove the viability of representation.
There are a ton of health benefits. "Procrastibation" is a great way to waste time while achieving something. More importantly, it's a great way to figure out what kind of touches you respond to and enjoy. Super into clitoral stimulation? Tell your partner! G-spot or prostate play? Again, let your partner know! Knowing how and what you like is key. Porn is a regular part of masturbation rituals, so go forth, watch porn, and get yourself off.
A woman about her money is great. There are conflicting reports about exactly how much more they make , but women in porn can make double their male counterparts. I am here for supporting women making their own money. Yes, women in porn can be feminists; no, not all porn is degrading to women and femme people. These figures also represent gender-conforming mainstream porn points of view, and not everyone making porn falls into these categories, but let's celebrate the little victories. I know there is still so much progress needed for gender-nonconforming bodies, but in a world where white women make 74-82 percent of what men are paid and women of color even less, it's important to acknowledge the areas in which we've made progress.
I've met too many young women who buy into the idea that all women in porn are being exploited. Yes, exploitation is very real, yes, human trafficking is a huge issue, but many women in porn have chosen to be there. Read their stories, and think about the implications that assumptions lead to. Dare I say, make them real people, with real complicated lives? Better yet, find performers you like on Instagram and Twitter. Find people who jive with your politics, find people who actively identify as feminists, and support their work. Look at the work performers do outside of porn, and consider even thinking about them, their passions, hobbies, and politics after you cum. Walk the feminist talk, liberate your sexuality, and support people doing what they love for a living. That's feminist as hell.
So for all of this, I say we start talking about porn. What we watch, what we like, and why we like it. Honestly, where's the harm in well-informed people who are able to articulate sexual interest and desire? Sounds pretty great to me.

Porn has got a bit a bad rep over the years. From accusations that it’s rewiring people’s brains and perceptions on sex, to causing erectile dysfunction.
Then there was the time when the government banned porn that focused on female pleasure . That wasn’t great either.
Luckily, other research suggests that it might not be as bad you think. We’ve compiled together some of the scientifically suggested benefits of pornography that might put you a little at ease.
Here are six reasons why pornography might be good for you after all.
There might be evidence to suggest that porn can lead to an actual sex addiction (though that’s argued, a lot, among experts). But for those whose sex drive might be a little on the low side, maybe it could help.
This study by the University of California found that a positive correlation between the time spent watching porn and the desire to have sex.
‘This pattern suggests that those who view more visual sexual stimuli (VSS) are likely to have a higher sexual drive,’ researchers wrote in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The same study also looked at porn’s effect on erectile dysfunction. It found no relationship between the numbers of hours watched weekly and erectile functioning with a partner.
So if you’re having problems getting hard in the bedroom, then your porn habit isn’t to blame.
You wouldn’t be blamed for thinking this a common benefit of most sexual activity . But yes, watching porn can do it too.
Looking at sexy pictures can help to decrease stress, according to research by the Carnegie Mellon University .
When your body gets stressed, it produces a hormone called cortisol that might disrupt the brain’s problem-solving abilities.
So in case you were wondering why you got a mind-blank everytime you panicked or felt really stressed during an important exam or interview, that’s why – it’s cortisol’s fault.
But the study found that men who looked at hot pictures of women performed 50 per cent better on a math portion of a stress test compared to guys who looked at non-sexual photos.
Researchers concluded therefore looking at the pictures reduced the stress response in the brain.
Porn can be a way to discover your sexuality in a way that has fewer emotional or health consequences on you or other people.
‘Porn can really help you explore what your likes and dislikes are,’ Dr. Madeleine Castellanos, New York psychiatrist and sex therapist, told Mic .
‘You can really discover what resonates with you sexually.’
It can be then become a tool to broach the subject of your kinks with a sexual partner, so ‘I saw this which I’d like to try…’ becomes part of a relationship.
For some, the realms of hardcore porn might be a place they don’t dare roam. Whips and chains can be a bit frightening.
But turns out, it might actually reap more benefits than problems.
This Danish study of both men and women found a positive relationship between the amount of hardcore porn watched and impact on participants’ sex lives, attitudes towards sex, their perceptions and attitudes towards members of the opposite sex.
With the prevalence of slapping and ejaculating on women in the fantasies of men who watch porn according to University of Arkansas , you might be right to be concerned it can be a bit derogatory towards women.
But the growth of the ethical porn movement could help us put our minds to rest.
The Ethical Porn Partnership , for example, is a coalition of porn producers, performers, consumers and supported committed to creating responsibly-made porn.
So you can watch porn comfortably without feeling you’re contributing towards the sexual degradation of women. Huzzah.

Key points
Research suggests that watching porn is more likely to be harmless for LGBTQ individuals, nonmonogamous couples, and women than it is for others.
Using pornography to compensate for unmet sexual needs in a relationship, however, may lead to problems for individuals of any gender.
Individuals and couples who are highly religious or morally opposed to porn are likely to experience conflict if they watch pornography.
Adolescents who watch pornography may learn unhealthy, unrealistic lessons, if they haven't had adequate sex education.
