Question

Psychological research evidence has demonstrated that pornography ______.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple studies have suggested that exposure to pornography is associated with an increased risk of perpetrating sexual violence, including rape. While some studies have found that exposure to pornography may have short-term effects on attitudes about women (both positive and negative), the majority of research does not support the idea that porn use leads to more positive attitudes about women. Additionally, the relationship between pornography and rates of rape is complex and not fully understood, but there is no strong evidence that pornography decreases rape rates. While it is true that not all men who view pornography engage in sexual violence, studies have consistently found that men who do perpetrate sexual violence are more likely to be frequent users of pornography.
