Question by What Dreams May Come: Psychologists and Psychology majors: Is it common for rape victims to become interested in pornography?
If you work in the Psychology field or are studying Psychology, is it fairly common for people who have been the victim of rape to become interested in pornography or explicit material? If so, why?
Best answer:
Answer by Move on
For any victim it is a case by case cause and affect. But in general I would say no. It is not one of the common reactions.

I think it depends on what defense mechanisms they use to deal with the event.
Honestly, most would be turned off of sex because they would link any sexual act to the violence. They would need help to actually have the desire to have sex again in a healthy way.
Some people take the rape situation and feed it, craving too much sex in an unhealthy manner. Having lots of consentual sex in an attempt to forget the unconsentual.
No two people deal with an event the same, we all have our coping mechanisms. Hence, why I chose this major, the human mind is fasinating.
