to both of you, 1) porn doesn't necessarily do anything wrong. on the contrary, availability of pornography has been linked with a decrease of sexual offenses. 2) porn featuring violence and abuse of women appeals disproportionately to women. 3) it's acceptable to both men and women to watch porn. society doesn't make an exception for just men and is in general more lenient to women than men (women receive lighter sentences for the same crime for example). 4) for many guys having sex is difficult it impossible and i suppose porn could be a distraction from it.
@iOoko "porn doesn't necessarily do anything wrong"
Yes it does, it objectifies BOTH women and men, many are children/teen/women traffickers, many on drugs, dangerously normalizes incest/violence/sex with children.
"on the contrary, availability of pornography has been linked with a decrease of sexual offenses"
Nope the data suggests the exact opposite, it contributes to it. Look up what Ted Bundy said about porn as well.
"porn featuring violence and abuse of women appeals disproportionately to women"
Sources?
"it's acceptable to both men and women to watch porn"
It shouldn't be.
" society doesn't make an exception for just men and is in general more lenient to women than men (women receive lighter sentences for the same crime for example).:
Sources?
"for many guys having sex is difficult it impossible"
Then they should examine why no women want them, it's likely a defective character.
"porn could be a distraction from it"
That doesn't make it good. Heroin is a distraction too. Actually porn works the same as a drug, it is very addictive and leads to relationship problems, ED and divorce.
the worse kinds of men have women. guess who doesn't? poor ugly non-white men. i can show you many sources that show that to the extent that personality matters to women (and it does so much less than looks and status/wealth) women are attracted to low-empathy men, psychopaths and "benevolent sexists but before i do that i encourage you do this mental exercise: what would it take for you to consider a dating a 5'3'' bald Asian male? think of how many such men there are, couple it with the fact that the most attractive men are now available to all women through dating apps and hookup culture, and you should realize that many men don't stand a chance. do they harm anybody by watching porn? not at all.
@iOoko The only legitimate credible source you quoted was the one on women and rape (I didn't throughly scrutinize it either). The rest were pop psychology and estimations, not science. I have no idea why women would fantasize to rape but I promise you, most don't want to be raped.
the sources are cited so you don't have to take psychology today's word for it. i know it's not reliable on its own right. you're disregarding everything else that i said.
but I can't view the full article. Since you quoted the article, you must have access to the site. Can you please copy the entire study here? That's the only way I can properly analyze it. I am not paying money for it.

Why do you think women go to long lengths to look gorgeous...
Society makes excuses for them.
What do you mean by that?
We find it acceptable for men to be players and make excuses for their shitty behavior like porn consumption.
Why is reading porn shitty?
Watching porn is contributing to the problems of the world for many reasons.
porn does causes a lot of problems

*difficult to impossible
@iOoko there has been numerous studies on porn in the US use Google scholar.

Here is a more recent, legit scientific study for you that shows the link:

@iOoko
I don't believe women want psychopaths, I do believe you are bitter in life. Please have a look at my Mytake, it might help you see what you are.
the sources are cited so you don't have to take psychology today's word for it. i know it's not reliable on its own right. you're disregarding everything else that i said.
@iOoko No I look at studies and examine their content, sample data etc.
This study here:

I’m quitting erotica for good
@AJC997
That's great and a highly attractive quality in a man! If you're looking for a woman, tell her that to impress her! It will go over well!
@iOoko By the way, the study I quoted is newer than the article you quoted.
@aislin9
It’s for my own personal health
That's good! I used to look at porn at times because I wasn't aware of the harm but I never do now. You won't miss it!
Biology most likely. Nature wants us spreading our seed without worry.
Because we need healthy women to bear children for us.
That's just how our brains are wired. Who knows? A better question would be why are women so attracted to social status?
Psychologist have long documented that men are naturally visual creatures but women go mostly by touch.
I also mentioned my experiences within group of women 🚺.
I guess you're just jumping to conclusions and bending my words to match stereotypes.
There is a whole hell of a lot of denial and ignorance in the pink responses to this question. lmao
If women aren't more visual then why wouldn't it be considered flirting if an ugly guy does it but harassment?
Your question doesn't make sense. You assume something that is not necessarily true. It's called a strawman argument.
Because sex simply does not work without us getting aroused before hand.
This is depressing because girls could just or be much more shallow. It just adds to the suicide fuel
That’s just how men are wired, I guess.
Woman are the same but they will not tell you that
Its the nature of the beast
It's nature I suppose
I'd assume it's due to evolution
It's same for both genders
I don't want ugly children
Here for answers because I don't know. 😅
