Thank you for posting this. I remember in the 80s and 90s liberals used t push back very hard against the idea that the media one consumes can influence one's actions in the real world. And for certain types of media, that's true. Statistically speaking, no one ever went on a homicidal rampage after reading The Iliad, or stabbed their uncle after studying Hamlet. Or set up a Satanic coven after listening to Marilyn Manson (well, possibly some teens did that, but probably didn't get very far after they discovered that covens involve a lot of time standing outside in the cold and dark chanting in esoteric Latin).
Porn is different because of the nature of sexual arousal and orgasm. The masturbation and orgasm means that the viewer is more physically involved than they would be if they were reading a book or listening to a record. And there's convincing studie which show that paraphiliac arousal is accumulative ie you have to go a bit further each time to get your nut. Kind of like heroin. Always looking to re-capture that initial euphoria.
Thats why on the transwidows threads we see so many widows explaining how their husbands started with porn, then cross dressing, then it escalated.
Same with how rapists often start by exposing themselves, or stealing womens underwear, the escalate.
We know that porn is affecting how men behave in real life due to the increasing prevalence of 'breath play' in their sexual demands. We know that porn is sadly making girls more and more afraid of womanhood due to what they think womanhood will demand from them in bed.
It needs to be understood for the scourge it is.
