Well sure, I guess one could try and say that experiences don't impact on us in terms of memories... And that emotion (and sexual response associations) aren't learned by pairing stimulus with response...

But that would of course fly in the face of research that behaviourists have done since the 1960's.

People typically accept that phobias are acquired by people pairing fear with a specific stimulus (spiders or snakes etc).

People typically accept that fetishes are acquired by people pairing sexual response with a specific stimulus (shoes or minors or whatever)

But of course violence on TV (and violence on the sportsfield) doesn't at all show children that violence is an acceptable part of society which is of course to encourage it.

And of course pornography doesn't at all show people that what is pictured is an acceptable part of society which is of course to encourage it.

NOTE: I don't know why people are stuck on the 'pornography causes people to rape' issue.

There are lots of harms other than rape... Aren't there?????

With respect to interests... So porn is designed to allow people who have fantasies about sleeping with their step-daughters etc to enjoy sexual arousal from that. To allow people who have sexual fantasies about raping someone and them enjoying it to enjoy sexual arousal from that. Er... How isn't this fairly clearly an expression of a sickness in society?????
