Rapists tend to be abnormal and with or without pornography, > they will vent sexual frustrations in abnormal ways. It's no quite this simple. Rapists are far too normal statistically. In general, rapists have the same psychological profile as the statistically average man, with the exception of a statistically-slight tendency towards more agressive behavior. Also, far too many men are coercive in their sexual dealings with women. Rapists are not men "out there"; rapist tendencies exist in a lot of men, and pornography reinforces these tendencies.
