| Abstract | Pornography is widely available and inevitably linked to crime and abnormal behavior. Social scientists must be concerned with the long-term effects on consenting adults and children and adolescents of exposure to pornography and human mutilation. An experiment in which a treatment group is exposed to pornography and a control group is exposed only to sexual messages cannot be undertaken. However, there has been psychological, sociological, and forensic research which links pornography to pathology, deviance, and crime. Murder, imprisonment, sexually transmitted diseases, masochistic self-harm, prostitution, and other difficulties have been linked to pornography. The amount and degree of emotional difficulty and distress experienced by those exposed either directly or tangentially to pornography is large, including suicidal behavior, nightmares, and inability to experience sexual pleasure. Although periodically pornographic in nature, "slasher" films rely heavily on physical attacks of a perverted nature to shock the viewer. The key result is desensitization so that people exposed to X- and R-rated movies tend to moderate their attitudes towards women and violence. The measurement of variables and the effects of either treatment or negative exposure is critical. Increasing availability of pornographic materials should be of concern to parents, teachers, and the community. Counselors and therapists will be dealing with a greater number of people experiencing sexual difficulties. (ABL) |
