The reasons cited seem to overlook the simple important reason, that Porn is titillating.
I do not see how sex education will make you not to watch porn as also a ‘Conservative Society’
Does it mean that porn watching will be less if your society is Liberal?
Please read my blogs on Sex.
By the way, if Kerala is ‘God‘s own Country’ then what about others? God’s rented Countries? or Devil’s own Countries?
Story:
God’s Own Country, of late, is in the news for all the wrong reasons. The latest addition is the alarming increase in the rate of pornography. When compared to other states, Kerala is the largest producer of porn videos in India, say industry insiders. They point out alcohol addiction, lack of sex education and a conservative society as factors contributing to this development.
“Surprisingly, a large number of school children are addicted to porn,” says psychiatrist C P Somanath. He recently attended to a case where a Class II student was brought to him by the boy’s parents for counselling as he was caught watching a porn video.
Dr Somanath points out that if children are exposed to such videos during their sexually evolving stage, they get acquainted with such videos and even develop an addiction towards it, which may continue even after they get married. Psychologist Dr Vipin too shares the viewand says that excessive use of porn for sexual pleasure has paved way for cybercrimes and rapes too.
About 136 cases of obscene publication or transmission were reported under the IT Act by
the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in 2011, and Kochi was identified as the hub of cybercrime, followed by Calicut and Trivandrum. “Those exposed to such obscene videos have poor impulse control as their mind would be pre-occupied with such obscene and gross thoughts,” explains Dr Somanath.
The lack of sex education in the state is also to be blamed for this development. “Through sex education, children should be taught to respect their body, what to watch and what not to, and practice a healthy relationship with their partner and friends of the opposite gender. However, sex education is almost nil in most schools in the state,” says Dr Vipin.
