it is now becoming understood that pornography is chemically addictive in the same way as drugs, tobacco, gaming, and gambling
. It changes the way people see, relate to, and interact with others by physically altering the brain’s chemistry. The cumulative effect is a degradation in the quality of intimate relationships, possible erosion of respect shown to other humans, and potential culmination in sexual harassment or assault (SH/A).

like all addictions/vices there is a difference between occassional use of the harmless type of porn (Debbie Does Dallas) and heavy use of porn that includes the perverted type (snuff films).
Given the number of non pornographic films with torture etc. as part of the plot, where the film essentially has the viewer identifying with the perpetrator, not the victim, I suspect there is an overlap of this type of problem.
Essentially it makes one think certain deeds are normal.
