While watching pornography or porn may not be an issue if viewed in moderation, here are 5 reasons why researchers don't recommend exposure to sexually explicit content on a regular basis

Excessive pornography can hamper mental health
A recent study conducted by researchers from a university in the American state of Ohio discovered that the mere idea of porn addiction can have adverse effects on a person's mental health. They found that those who believed they had an addiction to pornography also experienced psychological issues, like depression, anger, and anxiety. However, this was not a result of watching porn itself, but rather it was a result of the feeling that watching porn was becoming an uncontrollable habit. They feel that some people have no problem with the porn itself, but instead worry more about what will happen if they watch too much of it.
