The question: what are the consequences of continued exposure to pornography on beliefs about sexuality in general and on attitudes towards women?

The experiment:

Part One:

80 male and 80 female participants are divided into four subgroups

Massive Exposure Group: saw 36 short, non-violent porn films (about 5 hours of film) over six weeks.

Intermediate Exposure Group: saw 18 short, non-violent porn films and 18 regular films over six weeks.

No Exposure Group: saw 36 regular films.

Control Group: saw no films, not brought in till the second phase.

Part Two:

Participants read about a rape case and were asked to recommend a the length of the prison sentence for the rapist.

They were also asked to indicate their support for the women’s rights movement on a 0 to 100 scale.

Finally, they were asked to estimate the popularity of various sexual acts among the general population.

Results:

In recommending a prison term for a rapist, folks in the Massive Exposure Group chose, on average, prison terms that were half as long as terms recommended by the people in the No Exposure Group. (A five-year sentence versus a ten-year sentence)

When asked to rate their support for women’s rights, men and women in the Massive Exposure Group indicated about half as much support as participants in the No Exposure Group. (38% versus 76%)

Finally, men and women in the Massive Exposure Group rated anal sex, group sex, and bestiality at least twice as common as did the No Exposure Group. (For example, the Massive Exposure Group estimated that 30% of Americans had group sex, while the No Exposure Group estimated only 11% did. The Massive Exposure Group also estimated that 12% of Americans were having sex with animals.)

Conclusion: Zillmann and Bryant conclude that massive exposure to pornography made rape appear a more trivial offense, which seemed also to parallel a drop in support for women’s rights. Also, intensive porn-viewing led to beliefs that unusual sexual acts are far more common than they really are.

What kind of delusional nonsense is this?!🤣 These three puppets do cater to the male gaze! Especially Sabrina Carpenter. Billie Eilish has a music video called ‘Lost Cause,’ and it’s the most porno male gaze video I have ever seen of hers. Chappell Roan wears a Playboy costume in her “Red Wine” music video. Playboy is the ultimate symbol of female oppression. Playboy is a misogynistic industry that promotes the idea that women are objects for men's pleasure. And then there’s Sabrina Carpenter—oh, where do I begin with the most blatant Disney industry plant, Sabrina? Most of her “music” centers around prioritizing male pleasure. Giving men blow jobs, hand jobs, and anything that is popular in misogynistic porn culture, she’ll promote in her shitty music. I don’t think she has one song where she sings about men eating her out or any song that focuses on the vagina or clitoris, which is weird because most women are unable to achieve climax through penetration alone, but can do so through clitoral stimulation and cunnilingus. The sole purpose of the clitoris is to provide women with sexual pleasure. So this proves that most of her music isn’t about women's sexual pleasure but rather about pleasing men. I feel so sorry for the young girls and women in this generation, being influenced by these puppets to think that being a sex object for men is cool and empowering.

Sabrina Carpenter and the inner voyeur

The pop star's regressive brand of sexuality is all about male pleasure.

Like, really, you have to be a troll. I don’t even think most TRAs aren’t this dumb and degenerate. You just have to be some white dude from 4chan trying to simultaneously fuck with TRAs and women.

Sex is why women are opressed

Gender is how
