How do you know this is true?

  Here's one of the studies I'm basing it on (this one is most in depth, but also only covers the Czech Republic): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-010-9696-y https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-010-9696-y I can drum up a couple more if you're looking for more data (the references in that study also contain a few). My understanding is that, in addition to the Czech Republic, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sweden and the USA have also been studied and have similar results.

  It is not, it is the exact opposite. "Lastly, pornography use has been associated with an increased likelihood of committing both verbal and physical acts of sexual aggression. With the correlation being significantly stronger for verbal rather than physical aggression, but both were evident." https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/606dc23be90e074e54965bda/The_Relationship_between_Pornography_use_and_Harmful_Sexual_Attitudes_and_Behaviours-_literature_review_v1.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/606dc23be90e0...

    The other observed behavior is that it has done a couple of things: sets ridiculous/false expectations, second desensitizes or commodifies sex (so in order to become aroused, despite having the partner right there, they need pornography to get them in the mood.) Not sure how much distortion has happened but it has to some degree.
