Why Do People Like Adult Erotic Websites?

Despite several warnings by experts about the dangers of overindulgence in erotic websites and the seemingly hypocritical frown of society on such sites, the consumers of adult website content keep growing in leaps and bounds. Adult erotic websites are not a new fad or trend. They have been around quite a while, and their continued longevity isn’t in question.

Why do people visit these sites? What is the attraction?

People visit erotic sites for different reasons. Top amongst which are:

1. The pretty obvious one: ‘sexual arousal’

Sexual desire is human’s most primal instinct; it is a natural and healthy part of being human. These desires need an outlet. People visit the erotic site because they lack sexual satisfaction in real life. It could result from incompatibility in sexual drives between partners and a lack of intimacy in real life.

Masturbation is one way to get rid of sexual pressure without being intimate with another person. For varying reasons, masturbation is the only option available for some people. Porn can be the source of visual stimulation needed to get in the mood. Couples have reported watching pornographic videos together to spice up their sex life.

2. Educational purposes

Strange, yeah? Many teens and young adults get their sexual education from erotic websites. A study reported that 45% of teens visit pornographic web pages to learn how to have sex. It is not entirely far-fetched; there is a tendency of adults to tiptoe around sex.

Naturally, with puberty and hormonal changes, adolescents develop a lot of curiosity about sex. Given how uncomfortable it gets talking about sex, this curiosity is often not satisfied with candid answers, so they resort to self-help with adult websites. Other times, they want to see for themselves, regardless of the answers, as individuals in the adolescent age groups are often adventurous.

Not only do young adults visit erotic sites for educational purposes, though, but others have also reported visiting erotic sites to learn new sexual styles and positions to spice things up in their relationship.

3. Addiction

Some people visit erotic sites because they can’t stop! Pornographic websites can be addictive. The cycle of habits and addiction can be vicious. People have found themselves back on erotic sites just hours after swearing to quit.

Like any other addiction, there is the gratification that causes psychological dependence and, consequently, an inability to control behavior. This could negatively affect social interactions and productivity, with attention focused mainly on the derivative pleasures of such behavior. This can sometimes lead to pent-up feelings of anger and frustration, with depression setting in, in some instances.

4. Boredom

We all get bored once in a while. Boredom is one feeling a number of people do not ever want to handle, though, hence the drastic measures they take to avoid it.

Erotic websites have contents that could be thrilling and exciting, offering a heart-racing and pleasurable experience that blurs the passage of time. It is not a surprise then that some people find themselves time and again visiting these websites for a promise of a pleasant pastime when they have lots of time to kill.

5. To fill an emotional void

Erotic content serves as an outlet for specific individuals who have emotional problems.

The accompanying release of dopamine makes them feel good and brightens their mood. The ‘high’ that comes from erotic materials is mentally satisfying. Some people also naturally have difficulty establishing and maintaining an emotional connection with other people, and erotic content offers them means of sexual arousal and subsequently releases sexual frustration.

Conventionally, erotic websites contain prerecorded pornographic videos.

This has, however, been met with some criticisms, foremost of which is that it creates an unrealistic image and idea of sex in the viewer’s mind. Another downside is the established role of dopamine in the development of addictions, the gratification gotten from erotic materials could deter certain people from seeking out meaningful and intimate relationships with others.

In spite of this, there is an established need for erotic content; and this need has to be met somehow.

The solution is to create more realistic or real-time erotic content. Live skype sex videos and online one-on-one sexual chats with models help overcome these downsides. SkyPrivate offers such services.
