I think that just like blaming video games for gun violence, it's an easy scapegoat and a total load of bullshit.
Porn has helped me discover many areas of my sexuality without me having to take risks or involve others. That being said, most of my lovers, who have all been women, have enjoyed having porn as a spice of their sex life, it especially helps when getting frisky over long distances. What I may like, what may not like, what I definitely like or don't I know through porn. These aren't definitive obviously but like I said, porn allows one to explore without having to step out of their comfort zone.
Porn is not an educational tool, and what actually is going on off screen is very rarely explained to the viewer, not that the average viewer would be receptive to such information. What happens in any kind of porn is hardly ever a sexual act that was created by the porn industry because of course human sexuality has existed for as long as human civilization has. A unique exclusions apply to that though.
Contracts are signed and discussed at great length.
Boundaries, consent and sexual acts are discussed at great length by all those involved.
Safe words are made clear, and performer safety is made paramount.
Of course it hasn't always been this way, and many corners of the industry still keep to the lack of care like the days of old but more and more female performers, either former or current have greater influence over the industry and as we all know, it is the only industry where the women are far better paid than men.
Humans, just like any animals are born with different predispositions. We all process things in different ways. Where people have a lives full of misfortune, there are those who remain positive and kind those who become negative and bitter. Where people are shown acts of love, some are moved and some aren't phased. Where some people are hit, some fight back and others let it go. The list goes on and on.
It's all in the brain. We're born with different efficiencies in different areas of our brain. Where most males find that dominance in sex is a big turn-on, some can't hold back their impulses as much because a part of their brain (the prefrontal and orbital cortex) that is working at a lower efficiency. It applies to every scenario. And (as far as I know) we have no way of altering someones brain to alter their behaviour because we understand so little about the brain that it's hard and risky to tamper with.
So the short answer is that it depends on the person.
I don’t think people are so detached from real life that they think porn is a good enough excuse as to why they would want to rape someone. Most people that have sexually abused were initially abused themselves. Someone that’s willing to force themselves on another is dealing with more deep seeded issues than watching porn. I do think porn can get destructive and desensitize people, but I don’t think it would be the direct cause for doing something like that.
My husband and I watch porn all the time.. we dont watch rape in porn.. but we do see that in movies.. my husband will almost always loose intrest in sex if I even attempt to play hard to get.. if I dont want it neither does he.. he can role play as being forceful and go hard core.. but ONLY if I want it.. dom/sub type thing if I say no.. its a rap.. not rape..

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I read a lot of very filthy, graphic porn, quite a bit of it about rape, and I've never had any desire to rape anyone.
Porn doesn't make rapists... rapists make excuses.
Hot. I write it
Woah wow you should post this comment some where on famous social handles like Twitter, Instagram etc etc...
There is a huge difference in what's in our minds, and thoughts, and reality.
I think the fantasy to rape somebody will exist in certain people with no relevance to pornography. I know a woman who once admitted to me she would enjoy rape if she "is the one doing it." Undoubtedly, she has mental issues from other comments she has made during our conversations. I don't think there is a correlation between hardcore porn and sex crimes just as there is no correlation to gun violence and video games.
Given the vast amount of porn that gets watched by men compared to the rareness of rape I doubt there's a link. People forget rape and abuse existed long before we had 24hr access to hard-core porn.
No. Again, this is just the mentally Fucked finding some unrelated reason.
Now, I'm not saying porn helps. But porn is fine for a healthy brain that understands it's fake. The tendencies have to be there already for the person to think the porn is real
I do believe that Porn goes way deeper than we can comprehend. I. e. we could think we are fine watching porn but our subconscious is way to vigilant not to be influenced by it. Besides, porn really messes up your Dopamine system and therefore motivation.
Your belief is not fact.
Well I'm no scientist but some research lead me to this conclusion.
TBH porn has opened my mind to experience a higher level of intimacy with my lover. I feel it has helped me become more selfless and appreciative towards my lover for hours if the time slot allows for it. I dont believe I could ever have nonconsensual sex, even then if my partner is distracted or appears uninterested I must stop, no matter how horny I may be. Thats just me though. I will he the first to admit that I personally do watch more often than the average person.
Yeah, we all know that before porn was created, rape and sexual abuse didn't exist. I remember the first time I watched porn, I was so turned on that I went out and raped some girl in an alleyway. *sarcasm*
Rape has existed far longer than porn, so no, porn does not cause those feelings. The majority of people watch porn, this is kind of ridiculous to even ask.
Okay, I've seen and read porn but I've never had a desire to go and rape or sexually abuse somebody. That's kinda sick
any ideas and emotionally impacting stuff will or can lead to programming. This is also a strong chemical hit in the mind/body which conditions the body. add to it, porn is not really real nor a positive view of male/female, it's usually about some specific aspect of it.
Add to this, people project their reality, so what they see is partially coming out of their minds eye. This can be really bad.
In short, I think it creates the wrong dynamic and can lead to all sorts of problems. Look at your local list of Tier1-3 sex offenders and I'll bet every one of them has had exposure. How can an old gray man think a 12yr old would want to mate with them? That's some messed up crap.
Turn the junk off...
I've seen/read rape porn only by chance and usually stop after I've realized what it is. It's one of the few things the gets a physical adverse reaction out of me. Turns my gut.
Oh come on now
No, but it gives me a really good idea of what I would require if I were to write or direct a rape scene on film.
the porn i've watched has never influenced me to abuse others... anyone who abuses in nonconsenual situations has issues deeper than what they watch... and therefore the fault lays with them not the content.
it's a similar thing about when you hear about people going around shooting schools and committing murders, and they blame video games...
the fact those people are mentally unstable before and that their chosen crimes are coincidental to the material they watch, they do not see their actions as an issue, until they are caught that is.. then that self view they have that they didn't do anything wrong is then projected in blaming others, blaming a thing they watched or was introduced to in order to victimise themselves and create a level of pity in the hopes they get away with it.
Accidentally voted B but meant to vote E, other than fantasy stuff i never had the desire but i had a phase in my teens where rape content appealed to me. I grew out of it since after my kinks got more developed and it was actually the domination aspect that appealed to me and not the forced sex against someones will aspect.
Porn is just a way of visualizing fantasies. A high percentage of people fantasize about things they would never want to do in real life, like most people who watch milf porn don't actually want to fuck their mom. Porn isn't promoting violence or unrealistic standards, its just a way to step out of reality to help people get off.
I watch it mostly, and from time to time I might read some. Nothing influences me into doing something like that to someone.
Ok I have watched and read A LOT of porn but about rape it was about...2 times I think?
And I can't even stand the trought of me raping someone. Also guys let me explain something. Kinky sex and rape roleplay is NOT consider rape. Rape means that u sexually harass someone with the worst way possible.
Watching porn sexually turns you into a beast. Of course you enjoy watching it and you want to try out yourself to experience that pleasure. We have seen that porn industry has developed and rape cases in whole world is also increasing.
But there is no proof that the porn industry and rape cases are correlated though. I get off to rape porn all the time but I don't want anyone to actually rape me. People like to fantasize about things that wouldn't happen in their life because its less boring. That doesn't mean they're gonna actually do it.
Ofcourse it boosts you to do that because you want to enjoy real pleasure of sex even if you have to rape someone. I have observed who watch too much porn are generally hungry for sex, some of them just watch and forget about everything.
I personally believe watching pornography as a young child or even teenager is damaging to ones mental health, I do not believe it is healthy and can lead to things like, abuse-rape-insanity-ect. When you look at big time serial killers you see somewhat of a connection between them... they watched pornography at a young age. When you look at one for example Ted Bundy in an interview he mentions he watched porn from a young age and wishes you would’ve never viewed it. I’m personally a Christian and i stand by it, but that is not the topic we are speaking about BUT in the Bible according to 1 Peter 2:11 it says: “Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.” Even as a adult I would never recommend someone watch it, as kids watch Iron man and wish they could be him and do the things he does, pornography could have the same effect. Again this is my personal belief, if you have a different view I respect that.
I’ve never watched or read porn
Then you should give a try
