The Correlation Between Porn and Violence
There are many different types of pornography that features women, but the one type that appears to affect women the most is violent porn. The men who view this type of porn, believe that this expression of violence is normal and that all women are willing to participate in this type of sexual intercourse. Women who watch violent porn then believe that they must participate in this type of violence in order to satisfy their partners. Violent porn leads to confusion about sexuality and intimacy. Many people are taking action against violent pornography such as Indianapolis established a law giving women the chance to sue pornography producers for obscene material portraying women in positions of "servitude or submission". One nations that is putting forth effort to stop violent pornography is Iceland due to their efforts for more gender equality. Iceland feels particularly motivated to stop the distribution of hardcore pornography because of the portrayal of the balance of power between the two actors. Many statistics express that sexual assaults and rape reports have actually diminished like that since 1993 rape has fallen 72 percent and sexual assaults have fallen 68 percent , but porn critics believe that violent pornography is desensitizing women on the amount of violence that is actually taking place.
