Product Information

The psychiatrist Norman Doidge, in The Brain That Changes Itself, was one of the first to report that persistent pornography use was associated withmale sexual problems such as erectile dysfunctionand loss of attractionto real partners.

Men who consume porn are more likely to believe rape myth ideology (that women cause or enjoy sexual assault). A 7-year-old boy was shown a pornographic magazine by his older cousins.

When focusing manually with a DSLR camera, use the center autofocus point; this will help ensure that your focus is in the right spot. You can also adjust the aperture to increase or decrease the depth of field, with a large aperture (f2.8) creating a shallow depth of field and a small aperture (f22) resulting in a deep depth of field.

Look for elements in the frame that could help bring your subject to life. This can include props, interesting textures or colors, or anything else that adds to the overall image. It’s also important to look for any distracting elements such as power lines or unwanted signs and remove them from the picture if possible.

The focus refers to the area in a photograph that is sharp, while the depth of field is how much of an image is in focus behind or in front of your main focal point.

Composition – How you frame the image is also key, it should be balanced and follow some kind of rule such as the ‘Rule of Thirds’ where lines are drawn dividing an image into three equal parts horizontally and vertically, making sure that the focal point resides on one of these lines. Pornography has the negative effects revealed by research. (Give some examples, such as those found by the above studies). Whatever we allow to enter our hearts, minds, and souls affects our attitudes and the kind of person we are becoming. Even if we don't copy the bad things we see on porn, watching them can change us so that those things don't bother us anymore. They can come to seem like no big deal — even like normal behavior.Good composition is one of the most important elements of creating a great photograph.
