“Countless studies have since shown that exposure to pornography desensitizes men to violence against women, often shaping their sexuality in such a way that they become unable to experience arousal without some element of dominance or violence. The evidence has been so damning that, at times, universities have refused to allow further research on the topic. When a study shows detrimental effects that cannot be reversed, ethics boards will often refuse similar studies to go on. This has happened repeatedly with research on the effects of pornography.”
But what kinds of porn are they being shown? Does this happen with all porn or just with the heteronormative big guy big dick small woman dainty body stuff? Does it matter if the man is being submissive? What about porn where a man is being penitrated by a woman? What about “lesbian” porn? What about lesbian porn that’s actually made for lesbians? What about gay porn which doesn’t even include traditionally female persons? What about porn with people of different shapes and sizes and who interact in an outwardly safe and healthy manner?
All of the answers to these questions can be found in this book, which summarizes the mid 80s research into pornography. Knock yourself out.

this is why there is no longer lab research on pornography.
