No, Porn Doesn’t Cause Violence. Science Has Proven Otherwise.
The link between pornography and sexual violence: examining the evidence
The assault on pornography has spanned decades, and it’s forged some rather unusual alliances. At times, sex-negative feminism and Evangelical Christianity have found themselves under a big tent of anti-porn and anti-sexuality together.
I’ve written about the invisible ties between the Mormon Church and anti-porn groups spreading disinformation about the purportedly harmful effects of pornography.
TL;DR version: all the studies that say porn causes erectile dysfunction (it does not), a loss of love between partners, and is addictive “like a drug” have been disproven numerous times.
These “studies” mainly were put out by Mormon activist organizations pretending to be scientists. The goal is to morally police porn (and ban it) along with all other forms of sex they deem ethically unacceptable.
Anti-Porn or Anti-Woman & LGBTQ?
Prominent members of anti-porn groups, like Fight the New Drug, oppose LGBTQ marriage equality, premarital sex, and any other sex the religion doesn’t agree with.
