Pornography normalizes violence and aggression in sexual contexts from "summary" of Annals of Pornographie: How Porn Became Bad by Brian M. Watson
In the realm of pornography, a troubling trend has emerged, one that cannot be ignored or brushed aside. This trend involves the normalization of violence and aggression within sexual contexts, perpetuating harmful behaviors and attitudes towards sex and relationships. What was once considered taboo or extreme has now seeped into mainstream culture through the widespread consumption of pornographic material. The explicit content found in pornography often depicts scenarios that involve coercion, domination, and degradation, blurring the lines between consensual and non-consensual acts. Viewers are exposed to scenes where violence is glamorized and aggression is portrayed as desirable, leading to a desensitization to these harmful behaviors. Over time, individuals may come to view such acts as acceptable or even expected in their own sexual encounters, creating a dangerous precedent for real-world interactions. Moreover, the constant exposure to violent and aggressive content in pornography can have a desensitizing effect on viewers, numbing them to the emotional and psychological impact of such behaviors. This desensitization can lead to a decrease in empathy and an increase in callousness towards others, eroding the values of respect, consent, and mutual understanding in intimate relationships. As a society, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the damaging effects of pornography on our perceptions of sex and intimacy. By acknowledging the normalization of violence and aggression in sexual contexts, we can begin to address the root causes of this troubling phenomenon and work towards creating a culture that values healthy and respectful attitudes towards sexuality. It is time to confront the harmful influences of pornography and strive towards a more positive and compassionate view of human sexuality.
