One accepted theory is that pornography is a product made by men for men that promotes attitudes of women as nothing more than sex objects.
According to this view, pornography portrays sexual acts that are harsh on women and often violent towards them as well. This theory sees pornography as a danger to society in that it provides models of aggression against women, desensitizing male viewers to such unpleasant behavior and even encouraging them to mistreat women.

First, respondents who indicated that they themselves felt turned on by violent pornography often stated the belief that most women would not like it. Here we see the tension between a personal reality in which a woman is attracted to the portrayal of
