Who is most affected (negatively) by viewing or exploring pornography (Men or Women)?
Conversely, can any positives come from viewing or exploring pornography?

It's hard to say, ...because both suffer from the negative effects of pornography.
I think most women are more easily repulsed by the degradation of porn, but in terms of being negatively effected by it... even if a woman is able to dismiss the perverse absurdities within the genre, if she is in a relationship with a man who is into porn, she can't help but be negatively effected by it.
Any woman who has ever had a man treat her like the star of a porn video, and then be totally clueless as to why she's not turned on, but in fact turned OFF by his vulgarity will understand where I'm coming from.
Understand, when I say pornography, I'm not referring to erotica. i think the two are vastly different.
I'm all for erotica, ...but I detest porn. I'm not sure if many will understand my POV. Sorry I'm unable to articulate it.
