It is used to instruct the child victims, reduce their natural inhibitions, and it is used to prepare and arouse the perpetrator. One in three American girls and 1 in 5-7 American boys will be sexually molested by the age of 18. An average serial child molester has between 360-380 victims in his lifetime.

Pornography is their instruction manual.
Pornography shapes attitudes, behaviors and values. Individuals who view pornography are more likely to think of women in stereotype, as socially non-discriminating and eager to accommodate any and every sexual request. Individuals who use pornography have increasingly hostile and aggressive sexual fantasies. Individuals who use pornography are less likely to convict for a rape, and less likely to give a harsh sentence to a rapist if in fact convicted. Conversely, individuals who do not use pornography are more likely to convict an accused rapist.
