Some facts about pornography
The correlation investigations show, that porno materials can provoke a man to behave aggressively with a woman. As J. Court (1984) mentioned, during 1960-1970 the quantity of rapes has sharply increased after the widespread distribution of porno materials. Such tendency was not observed only in those regions of the world, where pornography distribution was under control. Here are some examples: at Hawaii the quantity of rapes increased in 9 times, than decreased (a temporary limit on pornography was introduced), than increased again (after the cancellation of the limit on pornography). The example of northern American States shows, that the selling rate of magazines with sexual content is in strict correlation with rape statistics (the quantity of young people and other factors were taken into account). Alaska was the first at selling sex-magazines and also at rapes, Nevada was at the second place, and so on. Sexual criminals are usually an active consumers of such products. People, who were condemned for sexual harassment to children, had watched porno films much more often, than those, who haven’t committed such crimes. The same is true with the serial killers (according to FBI data). One can suppose, that the consumption of porno products is the consequence (and not the cause) of some psychological deviation. But laboratory experiments indicate quite clear dependencies: the analysis of 21 experiments in this field allows to conclude, that watching porno materials, especially containing violence scenes, fosters aggressive attitude to women.
