Not immmature, but fixated, borderline addiction. I know as one who used to watch a LOT of porno. It can control your life.
Immature in what sense?
As far as I'm concerned, people who are stuck in an emotionally immature, juvenile mindset have traits like:
Constant need for attention.
Inability to admit they're ever wrong.
Belief that they know more about things than they really do.
Temper-tantrums instead of rational discussion when thwarted.
Picking fights just for the drama.
Feeling entitled to affection - and anything else they want at a particular moment.
I don't see how watching videos of other people screwing could make any of those behavioural traits worse or make it more difficult for someone to grow out of them.
Idk if it makes you immature but it definitely makes you more degenerate if you watch it too much. Its like a drug.
I don't think it can make someone more or less mature than they already are but it certainly has a negative effect on the human mind.
There’s no correlation between the two at all.
“Immaturity” in the sense that you mean, is often just a person choosing to either comport or not comport their social behaviour.
I I find it very difficult to find a porn I'll actually enjoy. Without an emotional or mental attraction to someone it's hard for me to be physical attracted. Wuch makes enjoying porn hard. So I don't know. People tell me I'm mature but if you get to know me I'm just as bad as anyone else when your in my comfort zone
I see two different questions:
1) What is pornographic? Are "Art Nudes" art or pornography? Different people have different answers.
Is pictures of societies who wear little or nothing pornography? In the USA "National Geographic" is commonly reported as the 1st pornographic magazine for printing pictures of topless natives in cultures where no one normally wore tops.
Is the writing, pictures, or movies of normal caring and loving sexual activities pornography or not?
If you live in Europe the answer for most people is "Not."
If you lived in the USA in the 1970's the answer for most of these was "Yes - it's pornography" and art museums were typically limited to a social tolerance of just 1 or 2 nudes (and many American Art Museums still limit it to that).
The 2nd Question is that: Whatever you consider as pornography: Indulging in it will change how you think of of whatever kind of pornography as being more acceptable, and often lead you to other forms of pornography to "titillate" you.
A personal lesson I learned many years ago: I have always liked photo or art images of the female body. I found a "amateur" photo posting site and started collecting what I thought were really good "artistic" pictures (which typically meant that I looked at 20-30 to find 1).
I noticed after a while though that it changed how I thought of woman in general... and not what I viewed in a positive way.
So I stopped collecting pictures - and thought about it.
Since then every now and then I look at various "Art Nudes" sites, and I occasionally look at my collection of pictures.
My wife, from Europe, has seen that collection and thinks I have good tastes - and understands why I liked them.
She also after I took her through the 2nd Art Museum asked me "Where are all the nudes?" She grew up with art museums where 1/4 - 1/3 of the pictures certain areas of each art museum were stunning nudes.
So, please think about how what you enjoy in pornography is changing your mind - and is that the direction you want to go in life?
