"Pornography and Sexual Violence

Introduction
The question of whether or not pornography promotes sexual violence has been discussed by Scott and Cuvelier (1993) who make the point that there is a consensus that the amount of sexually violent material has increased dramatically in recent years and that the violence in pornography is associated with increased violence toward women. Barron and Kimmel (2000) note that sexually violent content in magazine, video, and Internet pornography tends to victimize women and present visions of women s victimization as acceptable forms of sexual activity. This brief report will examine the question of whether or not pornography promotes sexual violence against women and men as well as children.
