    I see it differently. There’s a link between porn and harmful attitudes towards women, I see it at least weekly at work. There’s also research showing there’s no such thing as safe strangulation. Government research has shown strangulation in porn has normalised it during sex. If people want to practice the kink that’s fine, but the law is just limiting extreme porn, just like uk law already forbids porn depicting necrophilia.

      There is a difference from CNC / Ravishment fantasies that can be done safely and choking which can not. Putting them together is disingenuous.

      Also a link doesn’t mean that this “violent” porn causes harmful attitude against women. It’s more likely those men with those attitudes seek out that porn.

        Yes absolutely that may well be why there’s a link, but it’s still being fed by the content and it can increase the risk they pose women. I don’t see that you can separate the two in this context. To me, there’s enough to legalise against this, just like they have with other porn acts. But I understand that’s not your perspective

      Just playing the devil’s advocate butterfly, and I think we’ve grown to respect each other here, do you feel that the representation you see at work represents the majority of viewers, or do you feel that by the time you’ve seen them you are already seeing a sunset of viewers?

      Essentially causation vs correlation. A square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. People you see committing violence there is a correlation to violent pornography, but is there a correlation if violent pornography back to domestic violence? If so, is it a 1:1 correlation?
