One Frontline Worker talked about clients masturbating 10 to 15 times a day. [footnote 42] Another talked about how pornography exacerbates this sexual preoccupation:

if so, are there any particular types of pornography that are linked to general and/or specific negative or harmful behaviours? At the end of the day the porn industry makes what people want to see… it’s not that porn is inherently bad. [footnote 14] 3.3.

For example, just deciding that it is okay to ejaculate over a woman’s face without agreeing that first. [footnote 23] 3.3. Processes related to pornography content: Desensitisation and escalation The principal message from Frontline Workers was that a wide range of factors can play an influential role in the development of harmful sexual behaviours in high risk individuals, and that it is difficult to judge the strength of the contribution of individual factors in isolation. However, a majority of Frontline Workers also emphasised that for many of their clients, use of pornography was an important contributing factor. Across 20 participants, 15 spontaneously brought up pornography as an influence. This was especially the case for participants working with younger audiences, although by no means exclusively. When prompted, all Frontline Workers described that pornography was a potential contributing factor. Participants believed that increased ease of access to pornography, lots of which includes violence towards women, was problematic for many of their clients. Many discussed a range of potentially harmful narratives played out in pornography that may act as a template for behaviour among high risk individuals. A number of Frontline Workers described how their clients had become desensitised to the sexual content they consumed online which led to an escalation in the kind of content sought out - to videos showing more extreme subjugation of women. we ask that you respect confidentiality and do not disclose any individuals by name, and avoid referring to any details that might identify anyone
