V Slovenskih medijih boste zaman iskali prispevke, ki bi problematizirali pornografijo in zasvojenost z njo. Uredniška politika ateističnih medijev je očitna: normalizirati pornografijo in v imenu svobode izražanja podpirati razčlovečenje žensk na internetu in v pornografskih filmih.

Številne raziskave dokazujejo, da pornografija spremeni moške!

Za pornografijo je znano, da normalizira popredmetenje žensk in izkoriščanje žensk naredi za sprejemljivo. Moški ki redno gledajo pornografske posnetke, pogosteje opisujejo ženske preko spolnih izrazov kot pa z osebnimi imeni (1).
Moški ki redno gledajo pornografijo imajo večjo toleranco za nenormalne spolne prakse vključno s posilstvom, spolnim nasiljem in spolno permisivnostjo (2).
Poročeni moški, ki gleda pornografijo je manj zadovoljen s sozakoncem in manj čustveno povezan z ženo (3).
Žene moških, ki gledajo pornografijo so manj privlačne in spolno nepopolne. Pogosteje postanejo depresivne in se zatekajo k psihološkemu zdravljenju (4).
Uporaba pornografije na internetu je 3,7 krat večja med tistimi, ki koristijo prostitucijo, kot tisti, ki tega ne delajo (5).

Ženske ki gledajo pornografijo imajo izkrivljen pogled na svoje telo!

Ženske ki gledajo pornografijo razvijejo negativno podobo o lastnem telesu. Razlog je v tem, da se primerjajo z osebami v pornografskih filmih (6).
90% žensk in 65% moških doživljajo pornografijo kot prostor izkoriščanja žensk (7).

Seksualizacija žensk in nasilje

Moški ki si ogledujejo pornografijo pogosteje naredijo posilstvo (8), so spolno nasilni (9) in izvajajo  spolno nasilje (10).
Izpostavljenost pornografiji je povezano s pojavom spolnega popredmetenja žensk in moških (11).
Po dolgotrajnem gledanju pornografije, zlasti moški pa tudi ženske gledajo na posilstvo kot na spolno nadlegovanje (12).

Zaključek

Za ogledovalce pornografije ženske niso več osebe, temveč postanejo spolnih objekt. Raziskave dokazujejo, da pornografija v družbi in zlasti med mladimi normalizira različne oblike spolnega nasilja nad ženskami. Posledice so očitne – razpad družin, pojav spolnih odvisnosti od pornografije in interneta ter vedno več spolnega nasilja.
