U.S. adults' pornography viewing and support for abortion: a three-wave panel study
National Library of Medicine ^ | 2015 | Robert S Tokunaga

Posted on 09/21/2025 9:16:00 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Pornography consumption may affect judgments on a wide range of sexual and reproductive topics.

The present study hypothesized that the consistent images projected in pornography affect sexual scripts related to abortion judgments.

National, three-wave longitudinal data gathered from U.S. adults were employed to examine associations between earlier pornography consumption and subsequent support for abortion.

The findings suggested that prior pornography consumption may lead to later support for abortion. This study provides additional evidence of pornography's socializing impact, particularly for the older White segment of the population, and adds to knowledge about what environmental factors influence judgments about abortion. Mechanisms that may explain how pornography viewing shapes support for abortion are discussed.

Rampant pornography addiction and usage just proves our society is sick and morally bankrupt!

I've read that the more porn you consume the more extreme you require your porn to be ... the same old same old isn't enough anymore.

And that more women are reporting slapping, choking, urinating on, i.e., violence, during sex ... something the guys have seen in porn and now need it to get turned on.

So trends in porn can set trends in society.

Isn’t that what propaganda does?

Is the trans agenda also being propelled by porn?

Perhaps like illicit drugs, the second hit is never as good as the first hit and downward the spiral goes from there.

Seeing the same porn twice is never as good as the first time creating the lust for ever newer porn which ultimately becomes unsatisfying resulting in venturing into rabbit holes of different types of porn, and on and on it goes.

The porn they first began viewing that was arousing to them became boring while the porn that used to disgust them has become what arouses them.

Yes and the connection needs to be made in mainstream discourse. See also:

Pornography when you can’t get the real deal or afford a massage parlor.

It’s simply capturing the environment where youth grew up: parents who let their kids watching porn are more likely to be more liberal, so they perhaps also impart liberal values about abortion to theit kids.

My mom always hid that thing when it arrived.

She needed have worried. I didn’t know or care what women’s wear was.

I was interested in the toys.
