“Everyone [watches] it. Even if they don’t admit to it, they do,” said student Estephanie Soto(.)
“It’s a pleasurable art,” said student Christina Castro.
“It’s just part of life,” said student Sameje Palmer.
The topic today is porn, and while a lot of people claim they don’t watch it, research claims they do.
A study conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) showed that 71 percent of Americans believed watching pornography to be immoral.
This might be interesting to some considering that pornhub.com reported the U.S. held the number-one spot for viewership on their site in 2014.
Pornography viewership, as a whole, is at an all-time high, likely due to its easy and free access through the Internet.
The age-old saying, “actions speak louder than words” comes into play here, don’t you think?
“People won’t admit to watching it because they’re embarrassed, I think way more people watch it than they admit,” said Soto.
“They lie about watching it because it’s highly personal, they fear negative judgement,” said student Vladymir Gonzalez.
Student Darnica Nguyen believes society looks down on those who watch pornography because they assume these people cannot partake in the act, are undesirable, or that something must be wrong with them.
“We’re a country based off of Christian principles. People like to hide behind closed doors,” said student Jasmyn McDermott.
The study by the PRRI may have some bias due to the research pool, which was “mostly white evangelicals and those aged over 68,” according to medicaldaily.com.
A similar study, published in the Journal of Adolescent Research in 2008, polled 813 college students across the U.S. and asked questions regarding their acceptance of pornography.
The study showed that almost 60 percent of these students believed the use of pornography to be completely acceptable.
When taking a small study of five students on campus, two males and three females, four out of five admitted to watching pornography, but all five believed pornography to be morally acceptable.
When asked about their view on pornography, students had plenty to say.
“I think we’re all sexual beings and it’s something we all do,” said Soto.
“It’s not something I do personally. It’s not against my morals or anything like that, I’m just not comfortable with it,” said Palmer. “It’s not wrong to watch it, but it’s going to be awkward when you get caught watching it.”
Castellanos made light of the situation, admitting to watching porn only on the weekends.
“Honestly though, it just depends on the type of porn you’re watching,” added Castellanos.
“Some people like or love to watch other people have sex and nothing is wrong with that,” said Nguyen.
“It’s just an act of human nature being shown freely through video,” said Gonzalez.
Whether it is viewed as moral or immoral, whether it is acceptable or not, pornography will always be a topic of discussion or rather, viewing.
