There was a time not so long ago that pornography was considered as a man seeing a woman’s bare ankle.
Therapists are now concerned that pornography is resulting in many men who are addicted to pornography (without the help of a stimulant such as Viagra) becoming impotent.
Such an addiction starts out as seemingly innocent, but as the addiction to soft porn becomes repetitive and boring, new types of sexual viewing is needed to stimulate the erotic senses.
Crossing the boundary between soft porn to hard porn to the next step of forced brutal sex against the wills of men or women, can soon become uncontrollable to some perpetrators.
More women and men are being raped and murdered because rough-forced sex learned from hard-core pornography, is for many men, becoming normal, and these men that rape do not want to be incarcerated for the rapes, so they kill their victims, knowing that if they allow them to live, they will be reported and in turn, incarcerated.
Many serial killers started out believing that watching pornography was an innocent pastime. Examples:
Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer of Wisconsin, speaking of his routine before hunting for a victim said, “Just…using pictures of past victims…the pornography videos, the magazines…” Jeffrey Dahmer killed 17 boys and men.
Ted Bundy, convicted rapist and mutilation murderer of Washington, said that hard-core pornography had a “crystallizing effect” on his violent tendencies and his acting out during the 1970s.
Richard Ramirez was exposed to explicit pictures of his cousin “raping Vietnamese women and severing the heads of Vietcong soldiers.” He in turn killed at least 13 people in California.
It was unfortunate that those men couldn’t see ahead to know that the price of those thrills was to spend the rest of their lives incarcerated, or, to have their own lives cut short by the enforcement of the death penalty.
