Pornography promotes harmful stereotypes about sex from "summary" of Annals of Pornographie: How Porn Became Bad by Brian M. Watson

One of the most insidious aspects of pornography is its tendency to perpetuate harmful stereotypes about sex. Through the portrayal of highly unrealistic scenarios and exaggerated depictions of sexual acts, pornography distorts the way we view and understand human sexuality. By constantly depicting women as submissive and objectified beings whose sole purpose is to please men, pornography reinforces the idea that women exist solely for the sexual gratification of men. This not only devalues women as individuals but also sets unrealistic expectations for real-life sexual encounters. Moreover, the overwhelming focus on physical appearance and performance in pornography can lead to feelings of inadequacy and insecurity among both men and women. The relentless emphasis on certain body types and sexual abilities can create unrealistic standards that are impossible for most people to meet. Furthermore, the normalization of violence, coercion, and aggression in pornography can have a detrimental impact on our understanding of consent and healthy relationships. When acts of violence and degradation are presented as acceptable or even desirable, it blurs the line between fantasy and reality, potentially leading to harmful behaviors in real life.
  1. The pervasive influence of pornography in shaping our attitudes and beliefs about sex cannot be underestimated. By promoting harmful stereotypes and unrealistic ideals, it has the power to distort our perceptions of sexuality and relationships, ultimately harming individuals and society as a whole.
