268. You may have missed this fact, but none of that is real . . . ???
Secondly, it's a different process (at least, with printed porn). The mind processes images differently than it does sounds, that's obvious but there's also a different cognitive process going on. Reading (even if just looking at pictures) is an active process which the mind must be engaged on, listening is a passive process which bypasses much of the mind's safeguards. Counter-intuitive, I know, but true.

i.e., it isn't "sex" and it isn't a relationship with a living female ---

Meanwhile ..

Very clearly, porn is often violent and most often degrading to the female ---

And, very clearly, there is a connection between porn and violence because rapists

have told us so -- and because we understand that "violence" is used -- especially

themes which ridicule or debase females -- by the military, as well, to train males

to engage in brutal thinking and brutal behavior.

Further, violence, in general, is used by the military in "training" films to move

soldiers to violence. And when that happens we also know that this leads to increasing

levels of domestic violence on military bases --- including murder.


So there's very little question as to whether Propaganda/Violence are used to teach

males -- the answer is "YES" --- and males are quite succeptible to it.
