From a YBOP article:
"Rapes are rising. So is evidence of aggressive behavior in porn users (generally). The recent meta-study entitled ?A Meta?Analysis of Pornography Consumption and Actual Acts of Sexual Aggression in General Population Studies? reported that:

22 studies from 7 different countries were analyzed. [Porn] Consumption was associated with sexual aggression in the United States and internationally, among males and females, and in cross?sectional and longitudinal studies.  Associations were stronger for verbal than physical sexual aggression, although both were significant. The general pattern of results suggested that violent content may be an exacerbating factor."

Watching porn that's violent and aggressive might increase sexual violence and aggression...gee, who'd have thought.

Interesting when combined with the point that sexual activity is going down, despite acceptance of sexual activity going up.  I don't have hard data immediately available, but it has been the topic of a lot of articles lately that people just seem to be having less sex.

I can't speak to this subject, obviously.

But I can, and often do, attest to porn directly influencing my behavior in several ways.  I got what I would call beta male syndrome.  I didn 't look like those male porn stars, which I held up as the epitome lf malehood.  I have only asked a girl out face to face a couple of times.  My chronic porn addiction just obliterated my social skills and created enormous social anxiety.  Therefore, the vast majority of the women I dated I asked out on messenger.  Sad I know.

The  of porn I got invested in, mostly viewing women at various angles or states of undelress, led me to leer  women.  I call this the zombie stare.  It pasts way too long, is not subtle at all, and thankfully my rebooting journey has obliterated it.  These days, if I check women  out at all, it is  three second glances.  I usually don't get caught.

My leering got in the way of me building strong friendships with women and navigating my social.life with them.  It also got me fired and lost me assignments (that I dearly needed) as a security guard. 

Basically, porn drastically rediced my quality of life.  So I habe no doubt whatsoever that porn could cause rape.  I'm just thankful I never watched that kind of porn.
