Pornography shows sexual behaviour in pictures, movies, drawings or texts. People use pornography to get sexually aroused.
It is OK if you like pornography. Many people do, others do not.
Pornography and sex in reality
Pornography is not the same as sex in reality. For example, in pornographic materials people:
- always have slim bodies, big penises or big breasts (often they are technically manipulated);
- want and can have sex all the time;
- do not show any emotions.
Reality is often not like this. When you have sex, find out with your partner what you both like best.
Too much pornography
Watching pornography can become a problem if you do it very often without having it under control. If you feel you need it every day and you need it more and more, you can talk to a health professional about it.
Pornography and the law
Watching pornography is allowed by law under certain conditions. Child pornography is always forbidden by law.
