- Harmfulness of ***********
- Desensitisation
- BBC
- Research commissioned by the NSPCC
- Many teenagers at risk of becoming desensitised to ****
- There is an effect but this is not surprising
- Desensitisation is known to occur after overexposure, used in treatments
- There is an effect but this is not surprising
- Mail Online
- Teenage boys warped by web ****
- Not enough evidence to suggest this
- Children being stripped of their childhoods
- NSPCC - in danger of being stripped of their childhoods
- Teenage boys warped by web ****
- Martellozzo et al. (2016)
- Not peer reviewed
- Online discussion forum, online questionnaire and focus groups
- Based on self-report not behavioural data
- After repeated viewing, those who were shocked by **** fell from 27% to 8%
- 19% were desensitised
- 53% of boys reported **** as realistic
- Must know what parts are realistic to determine if they are being warped

- **** shrinks your brain
- Telegraph
- Regularly viewing sexual images could be harmful
- Need increasingly graphic material to get the same effect

- Viewing **** shrinks mens' brains
- Link could be correlational rather than causal
- Dulling responses to sexual stimulation
- Alternative explanation = people who spend more time watching **** are born with a certain type of brain
- Viewing **** shrinks mens' brains
- Kuhn and Gallinat (2014)
- Peer reviewed
- Self-reported amount of ****ography
- MRI scanning and cue-reactivity task with fMRI
- Ventral striatum involved with reward
- Its activation was lower with higher **** use
- Lower than the natural response to sexualised stimuli
- Individuals could have been born with lower striatum volume
- Need more stimulation to experience pleasure
- Its activation was lower with higher **** use

- Can be good for your sex life

- Beneficial effect on mens sex lives
- Erectile dysfunction unrelated to watching ****
- Not necessarily beneficial if heightened sex drive develops into hypersexuality
- Arguable that men who watch **** have higher sex drive than men that don't
- Beneficial effect on mens sex lives
- Prause and Pfaus (2015)
- Self-reported sexual desire - subjective amount
- Men who watch **** more have higher sex drive than men that watch it less
