It does... it lowers sexual crimes.  Of course so do things like strip clubs and prostitution. (When you take out the confounding variables).

Of course people let morality get in the way of statistical facts in such matters.  In such cases even if said people who do porn, stripping and prostitution were in some damaged.  The amount of other people they would save from similar danger many other women. (and men though people ignore men when it comes to such things.)

In such a way these industries work as modern day "Sin-eaters".

Well.  Minus the whole after death thing. 

 Yeah man, denying that an obvious event happened against all evidence is totally equivalent to not believing an unfounded generalization. Preach on, brotha'.

Yeah, bad studies. If you look at them you'll notice they ignore the confounding variables.

When you do a real study. AKA study what happens before and after porn reaches an area you'll see assaults go down. The most user acessiable of a real non biased approach on the matter can be found in the book "Freakanomics".

Liberal states also blame videogames for increased violence by the way. 

Original post:

Spoken like a man who's seen his share of hardcore pornography! My collection? Why uh.....that's just for ummm...research! Yeah......research....

*wipes forehead*

"As for the effect it has on others, well, I don't think there's any scientific study that's definitely proved a correlation between pornography watching and misogyny, objectivization, or desensitization"

Scroll up. I posted a few.

"And finally, not everyone is as religious as you appear to be. It's okay if you abstain from watching it on grounds of spirituality, but should you really force those views on others?"

I said nothing about religion or being religious. And how am I forcing views on others? It's not like you were being held at gunpoint to read the original post and forced to believe what I believe.

Chirizum, I saw what ya did there. In my book, you are so cool.

Fine a significant number of them suffered abuse as children. Female side.

I don't care what people want to do as long as no one gets hurt and no children are used.

Also,  "I'd flinch more if they tried to prove the existence of god".

You posted a few... which another poster immediately called out as bad studies.

As to your second point, I present for evidence:

"As corny as it sounds I think pornography destroys the soul. It's focused on the carnal with its warped depiction of sexuality which hurts people spiritually. There is something not quite right with separating sex from love. We are not just mere animals, we are spiritual beings. When we use others as mere tools for our selfish pleasure as shown in pornography there is something immoral and backwards about it."

And: That cross in your avatar.

Nope. No religious bent here, folks.
