A member asked:

Are there any mental health effects from watching pornography?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Everything you experience affects your mental health. There are studies which indicate adverse effects of pornography and others that dispute this. The extent of any response to stimuli is individual and has to do with genetics/physiology, environment, and past experience.
