Question

Is exposure to pornography related to increased rates of rape or sexual assaults? Provide your stance and provide factual, statistical data to validate your position.

Answer 1

I personally feel that the answer is 'No'. Pornography has nothing to do with rape or sexual assault.

Let me explain how:

Let's consider the example of a sexual assault in villages where there is no internet facilities available,not even television. How do we justify rape then?

Also, there are many people who watch porn on a daily basis but never raped someone.

The research regarding the same has been conducted since ages but nobody could come to a conclusion that pornography leads to such negativity. For example,rese research conducted by, National Resource Center On Domestic Violence and an interview of the director of Pacific Center For Sex and Society.

Psychologists further explain through the researches and through the interviews of the rapists, that majority of rapists say that they feel more powerful hence rape. Many different answers have been given by the rapists but not many ever said they raped due to pornography.
