I think you are exposing yourself to the risk of viruses, malware and other dangers.

Only if you download a virus.

Watching porn on your phone can have severe consequences. Your boss or spouse can walk in on you.

It is not the "watching" that is the problem. Some of the websites that you browse to get the porn end up delivering more to your device than just the porn.

Lol funny but definitely not mate. There are advertisements that pop up sometimes on some malicious websites that say "You have (#) amount of porn viruses." which is totally untrue.

If you watch porn online on your android device, then there is chance your phone may get virus from porn sites. Mostly such sites and "free stuff" providing sites can harm your device.

The answer is no, however it can happen if you accidentally clicked on an ad and something starts downloading on your notficiation menu.

Izaiah,

To me it sounds like you're thinking about viruses from a PC perspective. Android is different. No apps, programs, or viruses can be installed in the background like on a PC. By default, apps from "unknown sources" (i.e. anything not from the Google Play Store) are not allowed to be installed. Even if you choose to change that setting and allow unknown sources, Android will not allow anything to be installed without prompting you. So a virus cannot get installed in the background without you knowing (like on a PC). The only thing a malicious website could do is prompt you do download or install an app. Don't download or install apps from any website you don't trust. If you get a prompt to install an app, and you don't know where it came from hit "cancel".

If you stick to websites and don't install any apps, you'll be fine. Porn apps are not allowed in the play store, but there are some "adult" apps in the play store that aren't quite porn, but do serve up sexy pictures. These apps always seems pretty sketchy. I'd stay away from them. There are some true legitimate porn apps out that that you have to sideload, but I don't have any experience with them.

I hope this helps!

Stick to reputable porn sites like redtube, pornhub or youporn.

P0rn sites are notorious for shady pop ups. Sites like Xvideos and Pornhub don't give you viruses themselves, but some pop ups or false "next page" buttons can lead to some dangerous stuff.

TLDR: Porn on phones is cool, just know when and what to close out of.
