It doesn't cause that.
As a Satanist, I can't endorse a sentiment that is an emotional appeal at best. There must be more to violate someone's autonomy and rights.
Really, we need to be more interested in porn, amd more accepting of it so the discussions of the abuses in it are more easily approachable, and regulators will be more willing to enforce the law amd create laws to improve conditions for people in them (such as mandatory STI screening). It's better than creating unregulated black markets and socially turning a blind eye to abuse that has resulted from centuries and millennia of dogmatic and repressive thoughts and outright lies about sex that have dominated social thought and discourse.
I know better though.
I'm not saying porn will do to everyone what it did in my case.
I think very rarely does it do that.
But what it does is cause addiction. That much is proven.
It works on the same neurotransmitters and chemicals as meth, cocaine, and heroine.
And I've known plenty guys who are obsessed with sex and talk about it all the time. They are not mature, they are not very altruistic, not very patient, always need instant gratification, and I simply don't trust a guy that shows signs of being obsessed with sex or potential excessive masturbator.
It strikes me as being intrinsically disordered to some extent and a weakness. In my case as a child, it was far an understatement to simply say my pornography use was harming me or a weakness.
But I'm going to assume it doesn't have that effect on most people.
But it keeps the mind for long extended periods of time living in a shallow minded fixation on a typically young attractive ideal external figure of a body that most women aren't going to have, especially once they are past age 35.
It causes complete objectification of the female body. This does not usually lead to sexual assault or an unwanted pregnancy , but it can cause a load of other problems in a relationship.
In most religions, walking according to the flesh is a no to growing spiritually.
Porn can also cause a person to live excessively in a fantasy, which that can lead to mental health problems as well.
Now, to pornography addicts, many are lonely, and something isn't being met. They are trying to fill a void and there is comfort there.
We should not despise the addicts.
Now, people who are making millions off it I wouldn't mind seeing comfortably euthanized.
I've seen how sexual perverts behave and know what it's like when being lied to and manipulation attempts and cons by them. People making millions stirring up sexual perversion in our culture, robbing children of innocence, and creating sick tortured hearts do tremendous damage.
I'm not saying all viewers of pornography are sick.
