"the more men view pornography, the more difficult it is to actually have sex with a human being, the more difficult it is to have intimate relationships,"

Most men turn to pornography rather than real human beings because ti appears more exciting and much less bland than regular sex.

The more that men watch pornography,the more that they view the world and women in a pornographic, unrealistic setting.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-balan/2010/07/28/cnn-highlights-pornographys-destructive-effects-society
There are 420 million Internet porn pages, 4.2 million porn websites, and 68 million search engine requests for porn each and every day- pretty staggering numbers.

This is what the studies are finding now, that the more men view pornography, the more difficult it is to actually have sex with a human being, the more difficult it is to have intimate relationships

When men watch porn on a regular bases, women can most of the time feel betrayed because they interpret watching porn as an act of cheating and betrayal.

Dines records how porn tells a false story about men and women. In the story of porn, women are "one-dimensional" -they never say no, never get pregnant, and can't wait to have sex with any man and please them in whatever way imaginable (or even unimaginable). On the other hand, the story porn tells about men is that they are "soulless, unfeeling, amoral life-support systems for erect penises who are entitled to use women in any way they want. These men demonstrated zero empathy, respect, or love for the women they have sex with...

men who become addicted to porn "neglect their schoolwork, spend huge amounts of money they don't have, become isolated from others, and often suffer depression.

According to the same study, people who had engaged in paid sex or prostitution were almost four times more likely to have used internet pornography than those who had not engaged in paid sex.

At the November 2003 meeting of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (comprising the nation's top 1,600 divorce and matrimonial law attorneys), 62% of the 350 attendees said the internet had played a role in divorces they had handled during the last year, and 56% of the divorce cases involved one party having an obsessive interest in pornographic websites.24

Because of "modern trends in pornography consumption and production, sexualized media, sex crime, sexually transmitted diseases, online sexual predators, internet dating services, and sexualized cyber bullying," the woman of today lives in a "world more sexually distorting, daunting, and aggressive than ever before, and at earlier ages in her development than ever before."

In a currently ongoing study into the effects of pornography on adult relationships, economists Kirk Doran and Joseph Price are examining data from the General Social Survey (GSS) to assess the impact of pornography use on measures of marital well-being, including on divorce, extramarital sex, reported happiness of the marriage, and overall reported happiness.

In one widely reported study in February 2009, Susan Fiske, professor of psychology at Princeton University, used MRI scans to analyze the brain activity of men viewing pornography. !e results showed that, after viewing pornographic images, men looked at women more as objects than as humans.

More studies are necessary, but a growing body of research strongly suggests that for some users pornography can be psychologically addictive, and can negatively affect the quality of interpersonal relationships, sexual health and performance, and social expectations about sexual behavior.

One study suggests that women now represent as much as 30% of internet pornography consumers.29 Similarly, a 2008 study of college-age students found that 31% of young women reported using pornography (versus 87% for men) in the last year

Other studies, including experimental research that compares men exposed to pornography in laboratory settings with a control group of men exposed to innocuous situation comedies, also indicate that the consumption of pornography leads men to place less value on sexual fidelity and more value on casual sex; on average, men who are exposed to pornography in a lab setting also become more aggressive compared to men who are exposed to non-sexual material, and this is particularly true for the men who are exposed to the most hard-core sexual imagery.26

Pornography as depicted on the internet enshrines the opposite: relationships based on disrespect, detachment, promiscuity, and often abuse.

Several researchers report that women typically feel betrayal, loss, mistrust, devastation, and anger as a result of the discovery of a partner's pornography use and/or online sexual activity.

Some of this harm is distributed among the most vulnerable. Women of all ages comprise 80% of those trafficked, children comprise 50%, and of those women and children 70% are used for sexual exploitation. !e federal government estimates that 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked into the United States each year.

Unlike at any other time in history, pornography is now available and consumed widely in our society, due in large part to the internet. No one remains untouched by it.

Porn is a form of sexism. Women are commoditized and objectified in porn, which puts them on an unequal footing with men. Porn portrays all women in one of four degrading, dehumanizing categories. They're either a "greedy gold-digger," "mindless playmate," "insatiable nymphomaniac" or "one who craves pain, Porn makes men get bored with their own wives. Porn cultivates a single standard of beauty that no real women can live up to.

By the constant watching of porn, the trend towards the increased degradation of women will become more common in the world today and lead to more sexual violence.

Pornography acts in a way to support the degradation of women by placing them in violent aggressive scenes and by using harsh name calling
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/why-the-new-porn-norm-is-hurting-women-20110302-1be54.html
Professor Dines further points out that the brutality of the industry has become such that most porn actresses have a ''shelf life'' of three months because their bodies are so physically damaged by the job.
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/why-the-new-porn-norm-is-hurting-women-20110302-1be54.html
Since women are placed in these aggressive scenes, porn is depicting that women actually enjoy being dominated or degraded during sex
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/why-the-new-porn-norm-is-hurting-women-20110302-1be54.html
The research found that physical aggression was present in 88 per cent of scenes. Of these, there was an average of 12 aggressive acts per scene. In addition, name-calling occurred in about half of all scenes

When we gain sexual arousal from the (even fictional) debasement of women, it changes the way we view men, women and sex, on an individual and a societal level.
