No matter if you’re watching porn videos for entertainment or with your partner, there are some things you should take into consideration when watching sexy content online. Educational specialist and licensed sex therapist Meghan Maas offers some helpful tips for navigating the porn world with your significant other.
Before beginning to view porn together, be sure to discuss your boundaries with your significant other. Establishing ground rules beforehand can help navigate the web with less anxiety and frustration.
1. Get Naked
There are plenty of ways to have a good time and avoid getting bored while watching porn videos. Here are a few:
1. Get Naked
You might be amazed at how much pleasure you can derive from getting naked in front of the camera. The sensation of bareness in your body can be quite addictive, so you may find yourself wanting to get naked again and again.
No matter if you want to take it easy or really get going, getting naked in front of the camera can be an exhilarating experience and help make filming more comfortable and at ease. But make sure that this is done safely and responsibly.
It is therefore wise to enlist the help of someone you completely trust and can communicate with, in order to film your naughty video. Doing this ensures both you and your co-star can have fun without fear of anything going awry during production.
2. Light It Appropriately
Lighting can be tricky when making sex videos, especially if you want to show a lot of detail. But it also helps create an atmosphere which will make the viewing experience for viewers much better.
For instance, use candlelight instead of bright lights to give your sex tape a more subdued atmosphere. You could also use a dimmer switch to regulate the level of lighting.
3. Craft the Perfect Edit
When editing your sex video, there are numerous options that can make or break the experience. That is why using a professional editor is recommended – they know exactly what they’re doing!
4. Do Not Upload To Any Cloud Storage Service
When filming naughty videos on your phone, it is wise to turn off automatic uploads in your cloud storage app. This will prevent others from being able to view your videos in the future and makes it less likely that someone could take it off your device.
2. Listen to Music
If you’re watching porn, chances are also listening to music. Whether it’s on your phone or computer, nothing beats an old classic for setting the scene and bringing out the best in a movie or video.
But listening to a lot of music while watching porn can be an unwise move. It will likely distract you from what you’re trying to watch and, worse still, could make it more challenging to focus on the material at hand.
Listening to music while watching porn can be particularly hazardous, as it can obscure what you’re trying to see and cause you to miss important details. Furthermore, audio disruption of any kind has the potential to disrupt our brain’s natural tendency towards shrinking away from anything that feels uncomfortable or painful.
Furthermore, it can interfere with the chemical reactions that naturally take place when engaging in sexual activities. These arousal chemicals help you feel happy and stimulate your imagination, ultimately making for a more enjoyable experience.
Pornography can have a devastating effect on your mind by hijacking certain chemicals and leading to some serious issues. First, it may cause you to forget how to engage in sexual activities in real life; secondly, it changes your brain chemistry so much that you begin craving sex more frequently.
Finally, being involved with an abusive relationship can leave you feeling cynical about love and relationships in general. Not only that, but it may lead to depression and a diminished sense of self-worth as well. Therefore, the most important thing for you to do is avoid it as much as possible.
3. Take a Bath
Pornography can be a powerful stimulant that releases dopamine, providing us with a sense of euphoria. Unfortunately, it also leads to other risky activities like gambling or substance abuse.
The initial step to breaking the habit of watching porn videos is to replace it with something that makes you happy and contented. It could be exercise, taking a walk, or playing a video game – whatever makes you feel good in the moment.
Alternatively, you could speak to someone about your addiction. Consulting a professional is an excellent option as they will be able to assist with any difficulties that arise and offer tips on managing the severity of your porn addiction.
It’s essential to comprehend the underlying reasons for your addiction. For instance, if you became addicted to pornography due to childhood trauma, then changing that behavior may prove challenging without assistance.
Another reason to avoid porn is that it encourages prostitution and sex slavery. This issue should give us pause for thought about those women being exploited and should prompt us to feel pity for them.
Porn is not only unhealthy, but it’s a sin. As 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 states, „Anyone who indulges in porn is not a Christian; it would be like him raping a nine-year-old girl.”
If you find it difficult to break the habit of watching pornography, don’t be afraid to seek professional help from a mental health professional. While this can be an uphill battle, having control over your life and ceasing to watch porn for pleasure will give you back the joy you once felt when viewing it.
Finally, take into account that you may be encouraging your partner to become a slave of porn. If they aren’t Christian, this could lead to feelings of jealousy and envy between both of you.
If you’re uncertain if your partner will approve of filming your sex act, try having a conversation beforehand about it. This way, you can decide what types of sexual acts can be included and which styles might cause issues. Likewise, discuss boundaries and expectations regarding how the tape should look so everyone involved has something concrete to hold onto while keeping their emotions under wraps.
