Answer to Question 1

The explosive growth of the Internet has made pornography more available, affordable, and accessible almost anywhere on computers and mobile devices. Although, as researchers put it, the effects of pornography are probably not uniformly negative, a considerable amount of research suggests potentially negative impacts, including the following:
Increased viewing of women as sex objects
Increased aggression toward women
Greater acceptance of rape
Decreased sexual satisfaction within romantic relationships
Partner's feelings of betrayal
More infidelity among college students in committed relationships
Increased hooking up, with more risky behaviors (oral sex and intercourse rather than kissing and petting)
Increased number of hookup partners.
