Introduction
Pornography comes from the Modern Greek word pornographia, which derives from the Greek words pornÄ“, "prostitute" and graphein, to "illustrate”. It is the explicit portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual arousal and erotic satisfaction (Segal, et.al., n.d.).
Pornography was invented after the invention of motion picture in 1895. The two earliest pioneers were Eugene Pirou and Albert Kirchner. At around 1895, Albert Kirchner directed the earliest pornographic film (Foyel, et.al, n.d.)
Pornography was soon characterized as obscene and illegal. Primarily, Demark was the first country to legalize pornography in 1969, which soon followed by other countries.
The Controversy
It is very obvious on how pornography really affects our environment, society, and culture. Especially on teenagers which is in the stage of “Curiosity”.  It is a fact that pornography can destroy a teenager’s life and somehow it can turn him into a maniac. That’s why website developers and web editors nowadays really combined their ideas so that they can formulate an answer to the question “Is it Beneficial”? (Wiggins, et.al, n.d.).
            Many people are neglecting the fact that pornography itself can be beneficiary to the society. It is neglected because it is a very common problem to our society, but, in fact it has many benefits especially on the psychological, cultural, relationship and society needs. By these evidences, it proves that pornography itself have enormous benefits and there are certain facts that we can back up the argument (Foyel, et.al., n.d.).
Significance of the Study
The significance of this study is to discuss the information about watching pornography has many benefits towards in all types of human beings. It could be an adult, a child, or a teenager. It could be a prevention of crime events in the society. It could improve the mind psychologically, it could give us information’s about sexual cultures of other countries and most of all, it could improve a stagnant sex life of many couples. We know that it has many disadvantages but, though it has many, but. Still, nothing can overcome the art of watching pornography.



Statement of the Problem
This study is conducted to explain that watching pornography has many benefits. Even though it has many disadvantages, still through this study, people could get benefits out of watching pornography.
The objectives of this research are to study the beneficiary side of pornography and to answer and explain the following:
      1.) How can pornography reduce crime rates?
      2.) How can pornography improve relationships?
      3.) What are its benefits to the culture?
      4.) What are the Psychological effects in watching pornography?
Effects on the Society
Pornography plays a major role in the society because it unifies all things in the environment. Segal, et.al. (n.d.) wrote “pornography allows men to control the source of sexual gratification” (p.89). That’s the main reason why pornography greatly reduces crime events like rape and murder cases.
It can reduce crime rates or events because it allows men to control themselves when it comes to sex. According to Segal, et.al, (n.d.), the incidence of rape in the U.S has claimed 85% in the past 25 years while accessing to pornography. It is stated that the four U.S states with the lowest internet sources had the highest increase in rape incidents (p.123)
As an addition, Segal, et.al, (n.d.) stated “there are two reasons why pornography has led to a reduction in rape, First, pornography provides an easy avenue for the sexual desirous, Second, pornography also satisfy the people who are sexually curious” (p.84). Based on these evidences, it is clearly proved that pornography reduces rape and murder cases.
Psychological Effects
Pornography is for the curious people who are sexually desirous. Porn helps them in satisfying their curious minds. There are some psychological benefits of watching pornography.
Pornography may create sexual that gets transferred to an angry emotion aroused by current aversive events (Wiggins, et.al., n.d., p.489-490). From that statement, it seems like it is a negative effect to us, but it is not. It is just right to have that arousal for girls, Wilson (n.d.) states “It will help woman activate their engine” (p.9). Why? Because research shows that it takes ten minutes to activate a girl’s engine by watching pornography. It can help people to engage in sex easily, especially for women, so that it will be easy for them to activate their arousals.
There is possibility that watching pornography will increase aggressiveness that lead to crime events, but, it will also help women to engage on sex easily and can control men’s curious mind about sex, which is a major factor of reducing crime events.
Effects on relationships
Some couples are being bored and very cold to each other, then became complicated, that’s why, some relationships lead to the separation of couples. The
Question is, how can pornography help them?
            Pornography is very beneficial to the people especially for the couples who had a stagnant status of sex life. Porn can help couples in spicing up their sex life; they can generate new idea out of it and will be ready in engaging in sex. Spencer (n.d.) stated “Porn can give couples new ideas for new positions and techniques” (p.69). From that statement, it will help couples to bind their relationships more tightly.
             As time goes by, couples in long term relationships already have ideas for new positions and techniques, by that, they will not be stacked and be bored with each other. This is very true especially for women.
Cultural Effects
As days goes by, everyone thinks that pornography can lead you to nothing; some also thinks that, Yeah! It can benefit you but in the sense that it would only benefit for yourself. Spencer (n.d.) wrote “Pornography is very beneficial to the society” (p.83). The question for now is why?
Spencer (n.d.) states “Pornography is beneficial to the society because it plays a strong role in cultural exchange” (p.456). It will contribute cultural exchange because it involves exchanging methods between two countries. In that case, it will help you learn the sexual culture of other countries, by watching, you can generate new ideas and learning’s to your mind.
Aside from the cultural exchange, it can also provide new ideas of different styles in doing sex. Remember, each country has its own unique styles. For example: Japan is famous for its Hentai scenes, while U.S, Brazil, and Germany has their own uniqueness in terms of sexual positions. In that sense, “You are undergoing a process which is called cultural exchange of sexual norms” (Spencer, n.d., p.83).
Summary of Findings
            From the study, the researchers are able to come up with the following findings:
1. Watching pornography can cure the curiosity and sexual aggressiveness of the individuals. It can give satisfaction to the one watching it.
2. Watching pornography can improve stagnant sex life of couples; it will become the medium of spicing up their relationship.
3. Watching pornography can be beneficial for the culture, through watching it, you will discover the different kinds of sexual habit they have.
4. Watching pornography can be the medium in reducing the crime rates or events in the society.
Conclusion
            Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that watching pornography has many benefits. Based on our research, it gives four major benefits, namely the psychological benefits, cultural benefits, cultural benefits, relationship benefits and society benefits, by these; we are to prove that watching pornography indeed has many benefits.
            The researchers also recommend that every people should watch pornography in order to maintain the peace and order to society, not only that but it can also provides you various benefits.
