Porn gives youth complexes
The advanced sexual techniques and stamina displayed by porn stars give
Norwegian teenagers hang-ups about their sex lives. Watching pornography,
now readily available via the Internet, also promotes sexual experimentation,
the KSO (Clinic for Sexual Information) reports.
"We get young boys in here that are very embarrassed and are convinced that they suffer from premature ejaculation. They think it is normal to hold out for nearly an hour because it looks like the men in porn films do this," sexual counseling specialist and KSO leader Siv Gamnes told newspaper Dagsavisen.
Teens who have had their sexual debuts can develop problems when the compare themselves to their porn heroes. Boys are disappointed by their own performances and girls despair when failing to achieve serial orgasms. "We must provide information about what a normal sex life is, and that porn does not reflect that. The way things are now, porn and the focus on sex in magazines and TV create sexual complexes," Gamnes told the paper.
The KSO passes no judgment on watching porn or any particular sexual practice and instead tries to teach youngsters to set clear limits and have safe sex. But the KSO feels that the widespread acceptance of porn is blurring boundaries, both inspiring youngsters to have group sex and instilling confusion when, for example, girls find anal sex unpleasant.
Sexologist and physician Kjell-Olav Svendsen is concerned by the trend and also has patients with complexes he links to watching porn. "It can be unfortunate to debut straight into advanced sex. Porn pushes the bounds of normality.
It gives complexes in respect to one's own body and in relation to the type of sex one feels one must try," Svendsen said.
