Not all porn has a tie to trafficking. Stormy Daniels comes to mind.

I have not but it sounds in-line with a lot of other studies I’ve read.

There was an article published 2015-2019ish, I had it bookmarked but either purged it off my reading list after I went down all the rabbit hole reading the cited research and studies or it just didn’t migrate when Microsoft Edge discontinued reading lists.

The article was about a program that had been started in NYC either as an after school program or through a community center, not positive which. It was for teens who were either porn addicts or negatively impacted by porn culture (didn’t even know that was a thing until the article). The program is 3 parts: individual therapy, group support, and education. The interviews with participants were quite heart wrenching from extreme negative body image that led to self harm, that the desensitization and addiction puts these young people at higher risk of becoming S*x offenders and extreme difficulty in forming human connections because people have been reduced to body parts and dehumanized as sexual objectifications, including seeing themselves this way as well. Statistically, and I take statistics with a grain of salt BUT the statistical data is that 80.3% of teen have viewed online porn, the average age of first exposure being 11-12, and that because their brains are still developing, are more susceptible to addiction, high risk behavior, trauma, and negative impacting desensitization.

Do you ever listen to Dr Andrew Huberman on Huberman Lab podcast? He mentions the effects of porn on the brain. One major thing he mentioned is the dopamine hits that you get from porn and its effects on desensitization of actual real life sexual arousal in some men/women.

People think porn is harmless. It’s just fun to watch, right? Pleasurable. But studies do show it isn’t that harmless. It can become an addiction, and as with every addictive thing, you can’t feel good without the high, so it definitely affects healthy sexuality. But since it doesn’t kill, people aren’t realizing the damage it causes.
