Porn & Rape

I'm sure proponents of pornography would love to think so, but areas with lower rates of internet access indicate areas of social disadvantage, where there is a much higher instance of all sorts of violence, so no, I wouldn’t be buying that bullsh!t.

I studied this in Psychology last year...

Irish men seem to make the repeated mistake between Porn and Erotica. Porn more times than not, depict scenes of rape and degradation. The 'porn' (I'm assuming you're all talking about) is soft core and is actually more erotic than degrading (I hope).


Anyway.. in the case of hard porn (gang rapes and what not) if a person is exposed to them again and again over a long period of time they run the risk of becoming desensitised. Ted Bundy for example, admitted that he always sought out harder porn and more brutal attacks. He then carried out these acts on his victims. It had become the norm after a period of exposure and desensitisation.


Anyhooo... I don't think men watching erotic sex scenes makes them a potential rapist, not at all. Rape scenes and hard porn on the otherhand have a different target audience.

Lets define what you all accept as 'porn' on this thread before I type anymore.... (fingers hurt:o)

There are different 'levels' of pr0n?

It's all men & women bumping uglies to me, the odd animal thrown in for good measure.

Hahaha fair enough..!


Yeah - I'm no expert on the matter but in the lectures we looked at how hard porn was made and listened to interviews from the female 'actresses'. Most of the hard porn stuff were gang rapes and vile, sadistic and degrading sh!t! :mad:



Motosam: Sorry I just seen your post there. I don't know tbh, I never googled porn! I don't know a whole lot about it except for the case studies I did.

ted bundy went around doing interviews from prison saying porn made him rape and kill a bunch of women. but then theres the argument that he was just making excuses, but the counter argument that he was on death row anyway, so blaming porn wasn't going to help him.
plenty of people watch porn and dont rape.

( i did know a guy who did nothin But watch porn, and he had this weird power thing with women, even outside the bedroom. i think he really saw women as nothing but sex objects, not just to the regular 'you're a pig' level, but weirder, i can't explain properly..)

Exactly, he had been desensitised by constant exposure to hard
core (probably) rape scenes and domination scenes.

I don't know what exactly you consider hard or soft but the stuff we had to read about was awful - I mean bloody terrifying!

So I'm not saying, under any circumstances that ANY of you are potential rapists for liking porn. I think that's an unfair generalisation. But if any of you like to watch scenes in which women are beaten (to the extent that she's clearly not enjoying it) and tortured and are exposed to it for a long period of time, then you could very well begin to accept it as normal.


Again... lads, you're all exempt from this bracket as it appears to be soft porn or erotica that yer referring to!

100% pure bull****.

Porn does not "more times than not" depict scenes of rape and degradation.

Yes, there is a type of porn which shows aggressive acts like rape and degradation, but it is absolutely in the minority, less than 1% of porn.



You really know absolutely nothing about porn, do you?



Porn is something whose purpose is to arouse. It has nothing to do with rape or child molesting or whatever other nonsense you think it might be.

Easy on the old aggression there Sir.

I'm typing outta my textbook! :rolleyes:
