Link Between Pornography and Depression

There’s a link between pornography and depression. The people who watch pornography may feel lonely and don’t know why they are not performing like the actors and women they see in porn. The people who don’t watch porn may feel guilt for viewing it and may end up feeling depressed. However, this is a myth. It doesn’t cause depression. It’s simply a reflection of what they’re feeling.

Researchers have discovered a connection between excessive pornography use and depression in male college students. The study focused on men in their senior years. The researchers studied male college students. Those who started pornography in primary school were nearly twice as likely as those who started in middle school. In both cases, the researchers also found that people who started watching pornography at a young age were more likely to be depressed than those who started their viewing later in life.

Although it is unclear if pornography consumption is a cause of depression, a new study suggests that it can be linked to the symptoms of depression. It also found that pornography users who have scrupulosity may be at an increased risk of developing depression. This means they may feel shame for using pornography and label themselves as addicts. The study was carried out by the China National Knowledge Infrastructure.
