Since most of the researchers on the subject can’t find someone who will say it, I will: I LIKE porn. I also like Westerns, comedies, love stories, action films, science fiction and horror flicks and stories. After viewing or reading porn, I have never had the desire to rape a woman nor tie her to anything. On the other hand, I have encountered women who say they are repulsed by such material, yet THEY are the ones who produce handcuffs in the bedroom. THEY are the ones with the can of whipped cream on the nightstand. THEY are the ones with various lubricants for nonvaginal penetration. THEY are the ones who ask to be smacked on the bottom during orgasm. THEY are the ones who want to bring in a third party to what should only be a duet.
You can also think about this: If pornography is supposed to cause such violence towards women, why is it that none of the porn actresses have been the victim of stalkers while “good girl” actresses like Rebecca Schaeffer and Theresa Saldana have?
