I am not discussing simple nudity (a commonplace in well-recognized art) or gentle erotica (the antithesis of sexual abuse) here, which might be controversial. Abusive sexuality degrades women and girls by distorting them into disposable objects for dehumanizing sex.My first attacker was a female who was being apparently sexually abused by her father. My boyfriend was being molested by a female family member. Let us not just mention men because it is not only them and in these cases it was other factors not to do with pornography.
In those cases we have porn as an apparent non-cause: people learning from horrible experience. Many abusers were themselves abused.
