Are there any negative effects from viewing pornography psychologically? Are there any benefits from abstaining?

you can lack sexual arousal and have performance issues with your girlfriend/wife. abstaining usually helps your physical relationship unless youre single

Viagra relieves this issue.

As long as you realize porn is manufactured entertainment and not an accurate reflection of reality, I don't think it hurts to enjoy it in the same capacity as you'd enjoy watching an action movie.
>>18151767
it can wildly exacerbate pre-existing problems you already have
>>18151774
Viagra doesn't replace pheromones or sexual chemistry/passion.
It makes you gay desu
You're literally looking at another dick plowing a girl you'll never dickle, quite literally a cuckoo

Not from simply viewing pornography - but yes if you are addicted to it. There's no clear cut rule as to how often you have to be doing it to consider yourself addicted, but if you're whacking it because you need to, rather than just cause you feel like it, you should probably cut back and try to replace some of that time/energy with another activity.
Abstaining from porn entirely has no benefits (unless you're addicted and need to go cold turkey). I believe abstaining from masturbation is somewhat unhealthy and you're better off doing that at least once a week, but don't quote me on that.

Yes it makes you less able to control your impulses.
But... Besides porn, masterbating DESTROYS your initiative, ability to create, and will to make money. It has become politically incorrect to admit this, but any old self help book will lay it out for you. Try reading "think and grow rich". When you don't masterbate, and especially when you withdraw from sex, your brain goes crazy from not cumming. Eventually it will calm down and you will feel a engine of motivation and genius that will allow you to produce things, for example, brilliant art or success in your job. You will literally gain a few IQ points by withholding sex. You will feel happier and more focused. You might be quicker to anger.
So for your situation perhaps there is no "disadvantage" from your current vantage point. Rather, there is an advanage to abstain.

You don't become addicted to action movies so easily. Also you aren't exposed to action movies all the time, porn is everywhere on the internet.

Porn can give you distorted ideas of what is "normal". Not all women look like that. Not all people engage in all those activities. And perhaps most important, not all real-world women are so easily seduced, and in the real world "No" most often means "No"
