Youth 12-17 in the 90th percentile of TV sex viewing had a predicted probability of intercourse initiation that was approximately double that of youth in the 10th percentile.

Teens who were exposed to high levels of television sexual content (90th percentile) were twice as likely to experience pregnancy in the subsequent 3 years, compared to those with lower levels of exposure (10th percentile). Teen?s base rate of media consumption was measured when they were 12-17 years old and the outcome measures were taken when they were 15-20 years old.

Exposure to sexually explicit online movies was significantly related to beliefs about women as sex objects for both male and female 13-18 year-old Dutch adolescents.

Reading and viewing pornographic material (magazines, comics, films and videos) was linked to perpetrating sexual violence (both sexual harassment and forced sex) for both male and female adolescents. Reading and viewing pornographic material was linked to being a victim of sexual violence (both sexual harassment and forced sex) for female adolescents. Reading and viewing pornographic material was linked to being the victim of forced sex for male adolescents.

Japanese males who were exposed to a rape depiction in which the woman enjoyed the rape were more likely to believe that women in general enjoy rape and make false accusations of rape when compared to males who were exposed to a rape depiction in which the women displayed pain.

Early adolescent males who viewed mostly R and X (NC-17) rated films had a more accepting attitude toward sexual harassment than males who viewed mostly G, PG and PG-13 films. Early adolescent females who listened to more pop music were more accepting of sexual harassment than females who listened to little pop music.

Sex offenders show a high rate of use of hard core pornography: child molesters (67%), incest offenders (53%), rapists (83%) compared to non-offenders (29%). Child molesters (37%) and rapists (35%) were more likely to use pornography as an instigator to offending than were incest offenders (13%). The material used to instigate offending was often adult and consensual pornography.

In this study, we examined the unique contribution of pornography consumption to the longitudinal prediction of criminal recidivism in a sample of 341 child molesters. After controlling for general and specific risk factors for sexual aggression, pornography added significantly to the prediction of recidivism. Statistical interactions indicated that frequency of pornography use was primarily a risk factor for higher-risk offenders, when compared with lower-risk offenders, and that content of pornography (i.e., pornography containing deviant content) was a risk factor for all groups. For those who viewed deviant pornography, the predicted odds of criminal recidivism increased by 177%, the predicted odds for violent (including sexual) recidivism increased by 185%, and the predicted odds of sexual recidivism was 233%.

Approximately 93 percent of the child molesters reported having some fantasies about committing sexual offenses against children. The child molesters were far more likely to have used more pornography in adulthood and the most common type of materials were "soft-core" materials, which involved nudity or consenting sexual activities between adults. Some child molesters reported a cathartic effect of viewing pornography, but this perception was not supported by other results of this study in that over one third of the child molesters reported using pornographic materials shortly before committing a sexual offense

I could go on and on and on and on... Sorry, guys, the research shows pornography does indeed have a TON of negative impacts. If you'd like, I can also post research that indicates it impacts the brain in very similar ways to heroin addictions, as well. Shall I continue?
