I have to disagree on that, unfortunately. The effects are not seen instantly and a lot of the time it affects people on a subconscious level. It may even make them behave differently throughout the day. Porn, films et cetera have a desensitising effect on people and you only notice it once you have quit it for a while.
Disagree. Not entirely as it does affect some people but they are generally the stupid and easily swayed and have that disposition anyway. To just blame porn is a cop out. There are all different types of porn out there anyway and it’s not all “jack hammer” and abuse. There’s clearly a market for it, else it wouldn’t be produced, so it makes me believe that some men are pre-disposed to the nasty shit. And it’s those cunts who abuse women / escorts.
It’s a much bigger picture than just blaming porn. A lot of these men are brough up being shown that women are lesser than men, constant misogyny from their Dads and other male peers. It’s rife, from the stupid cunt currently leading the country all the way down. Men are in a hugely privileged and advantageous position and it’s that which needs to be tackled.
If it was men being abducted, raped, drug spiked and constantly abused then the male hierarchy would have sorted it out immediately. Yet there will be more Sarah Everards out there, more women getting their drinks spiked or now themselves being spiked (fucking nasty - take a look at Nottingham and the Midlands right now) and so on.
It’s an uncomfortable truth for us men to accept, especially those of us who are genuine and think “but it’s not me”. But we need to educate our sons, lead by example and call this shit out.
