Porn use and rape/attitudes to women?

I'm a long-term poster/user.

Does anyone have any solid, preferably peer-reviewed research re: men who view porn and negative attitudes to women/rape to hand? The only thing I can think of is the "Men who buy sex" article which isn't briefly relevant to my immediate argument.

Would be greatly appreciated.

Entirely not briefly. Sorry!

Quite a few of the research studies available online are behind paywalls, but here are a few worth looking at.

Here's one about the impact of porn on young people's attitudes. Flood, M., 2009. ?The Harms of Pornography Exposure Among Children and Young People.? CHILD ABUSE REVIEW. Vol. 18, p.p. 384?400.

Unfortunately this study from Uni of Surrey and Uni of Middlesex is behind a paywall Horvath, M. A. H., Hegarty, P., Tyler, S. and Mansfield, S. 2011. ?Lights on at the end of the party?: Are lads? mags mainstreaming dangerous sexism?. BRITISH JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY. but there is a full text version of an early report of the research here - citing the similarities in language used in "lads mags" and the language used by convicted sexual offenders when talking about women. [[http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/6595/1/Horvath-lads_mags.pdf Coy, M., Horath, MAH, 2011 "?Lads? Mags?, Young Men?s Attitudes towards Women
and Acceptance of Myths about Sexual Aggression." FEMINISM AND PSYCHOLOGY. Vol. 20(2): 1?7; 0959-3535.]]

Here are a couple more interesting ones to check out.

Emmers-Sommer, T. M., & Burns, R. J. 2005. "The relationship between exposure to Internet pornography and sexual attitudes toward women." JOURNAL OF ONLINE BEHAVIOUR, Vol. 1, no. 4.

Hald, GM, Malamuth, NM and Yuen, C. 2009 "Pornography and Attitudes Supporting Violence Against Women: Revisiting the Relationship in Nonexperimental Studies." AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR. Vol. 35, pp 1?7.

Malamuth, NM, Addison, T, and Koss, M. 2000. "Pornography and Sexual Aggression: Are There Reliable Effects and Can We Understand Them?" ANNUAL REVIEW OF SEX RESEARCH, Vol. 11, p.p. 26 - 91.
