porn and women

[Mr.Obvious]

It's not just about how the women who do porn are treated and whether it is physically and mentally healthy for them.

It's about how it conditions us, as a society, to view women and sex in general. Does it make women more insecure in bed? Insecure about their bodies? Does it cause women to be seen more as objects by other people (including themselves)? Does it make them feel expected to perform a certain way? Does it make men expect more in bed? Does it make men less easily satisfied/aroused by the real women they have sex with? Does it make men more selfish and less loving in bed? Does it negatively effect men's treatment of women in the dating/bedding scene?

...those are all things that will obviously have negative effects on women, if the answers are "yes". That's what I'm curious to know from people here, whether you think any of those answers would be yes.

Those are interesting questions. And perhaps a properly performed study would yield some interesting answers.
But I think the answer would be a no at the end of such a study.

I think it's kind of like any form of escapist fiction. And the overwhelming majority of people can distuinguish between fantasy and reality.
There are always exceptions to this. If you make a child watch gore horror movies 24/7 while he's growing up, (s)he's bound to devellop some trauma and a warped view on the world. And just like someone can get obsessed with just about any franchise or genre; so too one could get obsessed or addicted to porn. But these, I imagine, would be the outliers.

I will say though, there are serious, horrible problems with the porn-industry as a whole that I would like to see get fixed.
It's kind of like prostitution in that regard. Except that prostitution has zero appeal to me; the concept itself is not one I am apposed to. If there is a market and people are willing to sell and buy these services, they should be allowed. But the abuse and crime and coersion and other horrible things that happen behind the 'spotlights', make it something worth fighting againsst.
