If sex negative feminist had proof of their claims porn was harmful I might CONSIDER stopping.

and agreeing to just READ an archive of our own and use my imagination when I Wanted to get off but the trouble is the scientific evidence porn is harmful to women in every individual case is not very strong at all. Some femniist organizations claim porn is harmful to women- if they proved their case I would consider a change in lifestyle.

Yet again I would be convinced it was harmful if there was actually EVIDENCE of that position instead of my being expected to accept that it is at face value because some women claim it is.
The nature of porn dictates that researchers must either rely on people self-reporting their porn habits, or show it to them in laboratory settings that are unnatural. (And no doubt, slightly awkward, too.)
<--- which makes things fundamentally suspect as far as research too.

SEXUAL VIOLENCE
The fundamental question surrounding porn – which resurfaces every time a violent crime involves the perpetrator’s porn use – is whether it has the power to encourage, normalise or even trigger acts of rape and sexual violence.
This possibility has been explored for decades. In the 1970s, for example, Berl Kutchinsky, a professor of criminology at the University of Copenhagen, measured sex crimes in Denmark, Sweden and Germany as they legalised porn in the late 60s and early 70s. He found no correlation between a rise in crime and decriminalisation – and in fact, some types of sex crime fell during this period, including rape and child molestation.

In 1995, a meta-analysis of 24 studies, involving more than 4,000 participants, measured the average correlation between porn use and the beliefs people hold around rape and sexual assault. The studies all used the “rape myth” scale, which measures a person’s beliefs by asking them to rate how much they agree with statements including: “A woman who goes to the home or apartment of a man on their first date implies that she is willing to have sex”.
Those who watched porn accepted more rape myths compared to a control group, but only in the experimental studies. Non-experimental studies – which relied on participants reporting information – showed no correlation. So, the findings were somewhat inconclusive.


I think whats annoying personally too is the implication that consuming porn will warp your preferences until you prefer blended violence and sexuality and the truth about me is that I'm actually growing more sensitised and flinch at violence very strongly, while I enjoy a good smut flick I do NOT enjoy violence and blending the two? turn off. it's still like that.... in spite of years like this, in spite of having watched since like 13....

The pleasure is momentary…the expense damnable?: The influence of pornography on rape and sexual assault a. Evidence for a causal relationship between exposure to pornography and sexual aggression is slim and may, at certain times, have been exaggerated by politicians, pressure groups and some social scientists.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The evidence is not well for these people. Oh BTW. I 'm AWARE that the industry caters to fantasty and that you have to actually communicate with women and accept their boundaries.

"It is time to discard the hypothesis that pornography contributes to increased sexual assault behaviour,” wrote the authors.

Aside the trouble there is it gives rapist and murderers a convenient out! "I Wasn't ALWAYS a murderrer and rapist but I ran into my fathers playboy magazines as a kid"
This shit meeds to stop. Rapist are rapist because they're terrible people not because they watched porn.

Serial killers often claim their murdering spree would not have happened except for their awakening to sexualtiy when they ran into fathers collection of smut.

This is a an attempt by the murderer to shift blame onto a scapegoat.

Neil Malamuth at the University of California, Los Angeles has carried out numerous studies examining porn and sexual violence, including one involving 300 men, and concluded that men who are already sexually aggressive and consume a lot of sexually aggressive pornography are more likely to commit a sexually aggressive act. But he argues that porn isn’t the cause of sexual violence. In 2013, he told BBC Radio 4 that porn consumption can be compared to alcohol, suggesting that it isn’t inherently dangerous, but can be for those who have other risk factors.

ATTITUDES TOWARDS WOMEN
Porn has long been blamed for fuelling sexist attitudes and setting unrealistic sexual expectations. Research has provided contradictory results, but one study delved deeper. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and University of California in Los Angeles asked 200 adults about their porn consumption and assessed their personality in terms of agreeableness, which is one of the “big five” personality traits that indicates how altruistic, helpful, trusting and sociable a person is.
After the participants watch porn in the lab, researchers found that increased porn consumption was associated with negative attitudes towards women, including stereotypes and hostility – but only in men who had low agreeableness, which is one of the five personality traits of the “big five” test.

I am not highly disagreeable. Independent sure but usually more than willing to go along with women... In fact I largely prefer them in charge so...

CONCLUSIONS?
Watching porn has been linked to a multitude of problems for individuals and wider society – but for every study maligning it, another clears its name. Often, evidence is mixed, and the research methods and sample sizes of studies have their limitations.
Will the future of ever-more immersive porn may bring with it more risks? It’s too early to say.
The question of cause and effect comes up a lot with research into porn: does porn attract more people with sexually aggressive tendencies, those who are in unhappy relationships, those with smaller reward systems in their brain and those with sexual addiction – or does it cause these things? It’s a tricky area to research – but until the answers are more definitive, the evidence so far suggests that the likelihood that porn has a negative effect very much depends on the individual consuming it.
TW: Rape.

So what I wanted to say is that I'm more gentle personally than a lot of guys and more sensitive emotionally and more freely expressive of said emotion than most men but what I will say is that "it all depends on the individual consuming" conclusion about Pornography what I wanted to make my final statement abotu "is porn harmful?" is to say I enjoy it here and there but I wrote this recently abotu a pernious rape myth that's been irritating me for awhile.

I like porn but me personally? I am horrified at nonconsentual sex/rape whatever terms you use. I saw study that shows answer changes based on how question is asked too for most men, it doesn't for me.

this is probably the most conscious poem i've ever written about rape myths debunking one that has strongly hurt my feelings imagining and I have intense overwhelming waves ofempathy for the victims towards. It is a triggering poem for rape victims but in essence I am expressing empathy for women that had orgasms during their rape and trying to tell them it wasn't their fault and was still a rape.
