No clue, but for what it’s worth we know violent video games don’t cause more violence and some studies show they can even reduce it at least so I’d imagine it would extrapolate similarly to other visual media

The difference is that (almost) everyone has an innate drive towards having sex that they don’t have towards doing violent things. It’s a totally different biochemical process to get horny than to get violent.

  Having taken care of many children, I strongly disagree. Not just punching someone rather than talking it out is a learned thing that’s also reinforced by society (for the most part).
  
  If there wasn’t an innate violence within humans, human history would look very different, and fascism wouldn’t exist.
  
  Also, both processes can activate the adrenal axis actually. It’s not totally different, and there’s some similarities.
