- In a content analysis of 50 best-selling pornographic videos, nearly half of the scenes analyzed contained verbal aggression and more than 88% showed physical aggression. Of those aggressive acts, 70% were done by men, and 87% of the aggressive acts were perpetrated against women. The overwhelming majority of the time these aggressions were responded to with pleasure or neutrality by the victims. Fewer than 5% of aggressive acts resulted in a negative response from the victim. Furthermore, it was very infrequent for scenes to show positive behaviours, such as compliments, kissing, or laughter
