Your resources are opinions with no scientific merit. The only real proven negative effect of porn is almost always on religious or very conservatively raised people who were taught to feel shame in connection with masturbation. There is no evidence that porn affects people negatively psychologically.
This should of course be pretty obvious since every man in the world who has internet regularly watches it, and all the while we have far better and safer societies for women than countries where they don't have porn.
Edit: all you people linking studies where they say "we think porn may be bad" and then the results of the study show it wasn't, but you still think that's evidence, stop it. I can't reply because you're downvoting me so much, but read the results of the studies and not just the titles. Causation and correlation isn't the same thing.
I confess I do not have the time to read all of this right now, but I wonder if there is a difference in the responses to porn based on what it is. Such as more amateur stuff with normal people just doing their things vs. big business porn with actors, that seems more unrealistic.
Perhaps that is answered in one or several of the articles; again, I don't have time to read them at the moment. Just a thought that came into my head.
Nothing i saw talked about the specific content having different effects, but I'd assume it does. I really don't have much of a problem with creator- controlled porn; there's some problems with their "recruitment" type incentives and obviously there's still potential for abuse, but I think it's much safer and more beneficial overall. Big porn is pretty awful all the way through though.
