Consuming porn can desensitize us to violence from "summary" of The Porn Myth by Matt Fradd
Pornography can desensitize us to violence. When we consume porn, we are allowing images of violence and degradation to become normalized in our minds. This normalization can lead us to become desensitized to the suffering of others, as we start to see violence and harm as mere entertainment. As we continue to consume pornographic material, our threshold for what we consider violent or harmful can shift. What once shocked or disgusted us may now barely register as we become desensitized to the graphic and often violent content that is prevalent in pornography. This desensitization can have real-world consequences, as we may become less empathetic towards victims of violence and more accepting of harmful behaviors. Moreover, pornography often portrays violence against women in a sexualized context. This can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and attitudes towards women, reinforcing the idea that violence against them is acceptable or even desirable. By consuming porn that depicts violence against women, we are contributing to a culture that normalizes and sexualizes violence, further desensitizing ourselves to its harmful effects. In a society where violence and aggression are already prevalent, consuming porn that desensitizes us to these behaviors can have serious consequences. It is important to be mindful of the content we consume and the impact it may have on our attitudes and behaviors towards violence. By recognizing the harmful effects of pornography on our perception of violence, we can take steps to mitigate its influence and foster a culture of empathy and respect.
