How do people satisfy their curiosities? Once upon a time, people satisfied their curiosities by asking other individuals for information on the topic or even looking for the answer in a book. In today's world, any curiosity can be satisfied by doing a web search for the curiosity you have. This way of discovering something new is quick and easy. This method of accessing information sounds great, but what happens when a teenager has a sexual curiosity? He or she will most likely type something sexually related into a search engine and very quickly encounter explicit content, which does more than satisfy the individual's sexual curiosity. This will spark further interest in the content and want to explore the uncensored world of pornography. This trickle-down effect results in exposure to forms of pornography, generally defined as anything that depicts sex, that are anything but related to actual sex. Therefore, watching pornography before having sex for the first time causes dissatisfaction with the sexual encounter, as the individual was able to judge and compare the experience with previously viewed pornography, while someone who has never watched pornography is less likely to do this. view their first sexual experience negatively, because there is no preconceived idea of ​​what sex should be like. Individuals who view pornography over a long period of time tend to distort the meaning of sex, as well as its anatomical realities. Pornography is staged sex, and by watching these explicit videos, viewers unconsciously create sexual fantasies similar to or imitating the video that was watched. In addition to that, these individuals are mistakenly led to believe that sex in pornography is exactly like sex in reality... middle of paper... what it really is, not what it might artificially be. Teens tend to view porn as a form of sex education and try to learn about sex from it. In reality, pornographic sex and real sex are two completely different things. Because so many people watch pornography as teenagers and have easy access to it, they are taught to see sex as it is depicted in pornographic videos. From this, it can be determined that pornography gives people a false representation of sex and a different view of sex.
