If you think that's true then you probably also believe that violent video games lead to violent behavior, but that is also something that we have not seen but some people like to feel is true. "Think of the children" has been abused so many times to try to restrict rights for no actual benefit.
Of course I don’t believe that. Violent video games aren’t real violence in any manner at all. But people do copy and get inspired from all sorts of media. Whether it’s following a recipe on YouTube or replicating a sex act from porn or a taking part in a viral craze on TikTok. Those are all real things normal people do so we should recognise nothing is as straightforward as “videogames cause violence” or “media has no impact on people’s behaviour”. Jumping from videogames with violence in them are positive for society therefore porn can’t be negative is a non-sequitur.
As you’re presenting no evidence you’re also just relying on what you ‘feel’ to be true.
Thankfully the sibling comment to this one shows that porn can and does actually influence behaviour.
And whilst “think of the children” is often used in a pearl clutching manner it doesn’t obviate the need to sometimes think about the impacts of the adult world on kids.
Seeing a man (or a woman) slap a women (or a man) in a porn video is not going to influence someone or cause someone to slap a woman during intercourse in real life. If the real life people are into that, and consenting, then there is nothing wrong with a little rough sex - they can do what they want. If it is unwelcome, then the relationship was not meant to last anyway, and the people made a bad decision to be together. It's really as simple as that. I'm not sure why this is so difficult for some people here to understand.
The sibling comment is also completely wrong, suggesting that "porn invented the facial". I commented with a citation demonstrating how that is false.

You're pearl clutching. If you don't want your kids watching porn, then maybe be a more attentive parent and don't let them watch porn. This really isn't about children though, because I am not responsible for what your kid watches. There is nothing wrong with an adult watching a video of two consenting adults having sex. You're just trying to make it seem wrong because you're too prudish to want to watch it yourself, so you think nobody else should be able to watch it either. Sorry, but the world doesn't work the way you want it to.
"Lifetime pornography use was reported by most respondents. After adjusting for age, age at first porn exposure, and current relationship status, the associations between pornography use and sexual behaviors was statistically significant."
How do you explain the fact that facial ejaculation, which has been invented by porn, is now mainstream, if not due to porn being itself mainstream?
>How do you explain the fact that facial ejaculation, which has been invented by porn, is now mainstream, if not due to porn being itself mainstream?
This was not "invented by porn" and to suggest so is beyond ridiculous.
>Predating the modern age of pornography, facials were described in literature. As an example, the French aristocrat Marquis de Sade wrote about performing facials in his work The 120 Days of Sodom, written in 1785. One passage of the novel reads "… I show them my prick, then what do you suppose I do? I squirt the fuck in their face… That's my passion my child, I have no other… and you're about to behold it.

Most women would be lucky to have a partner that learned a few techniques to please them in bed, it doesn't really matter where it came from. Or they could just have missionary only for the rest of their lives?
