Those of you who regularly read my weekly columns here know that I have consistently attempted to highlight the impact of ubiquitous porn use throughout our culture, especially the ways in which these digital toxins are profoundly transforming the way men and women relate to one another. Indisputable evidence of the fact that pornography is mainstreaming sexual violence within the romantic context continues to pile up.
One recent study noting that teenage boys who are exposed to violent porn are two to three times as likely to assault girls. Pornography is consistently playing a pivotal role in violent sexual crimes, and another recent study indicated that nearly a quarter of adult American women feel fear during sexual intimacy due to the rise of porn-inspired choking. And now, the New York Post has again highlighted the increasingly horrific impact of porn use in a news article titled “Teen suffers life-changing injury trying to imitate porn.”
