I've often wondered that very question.
After watching the BBC documentary "Teens Hooked on Girls" -- which was more like "Boys Hooked on Porn" I can't help but ponder over that question now more than ever. I'm no scientist and I don't have a doctorate but something about the information I've been exposed to bothers me. Thanks to this documentary I now know that "Vampire Porn" exists and certainly have no desire to Google it. The mere notion as to what 'vampire porn' could be makes me a bit puke-ish not unlike other pornography that seems to desecrate bodies and souls, instead of celebrating and loving those bodies and souls; and that statement comes from a very agnostic place. But that's the part of porn that makes me uncomfortable, that causes me to look away, to know it's wrong because it feels wrong. Yet there's a reason why that porn is being made, it's being made for those that cannot look away, those that instead of feeling revolution they feel arousal and instead of looking away they want to see more. Those people exist.
The boy that was into this "Vampire Porn" truly gave the impression that he was turning into a serial killer. He even sought out a sex therapist, knowing that he needed help with what he called a four hour a day every day addiction. But this is the first generation with full internet exposure and immersion to be born, they're getting exposed to online pornography anywhere from 10-14 years of age and it is not the kind of dusty VHS tape from the 70's that you might have found hidden in your parent's basement den in the 90's--this is hardcore pornography with every type of fetish that you've never even paused to imagine or look up all linked to each other. It's kind of astounding and appalling when you really stop to think of it and they delve into it in "Teens Hooked on Girls" and therefore I present the about an hour long documentary for you to judge and view:

Of course mention of early exposure to hardcore porn couldn't help but remind me of what I heard Ted Bundy say about it on his last interview. He heavily accredited just this such exposure in creating his dark impulses. Listen for yourself:
Talk about being forewarned. He seems to have no reason to make this up, Bundy was literally hours away from being executed. He wasn't ever denying that it was him who followed through on such horrors, he was just identifying the origin of that train of thought for him. That's back when it was only in dirty books and magazines.
There's another really good documentary out called "Rape For Profit", the producers are Christians and maybe that's why their outrage is so righteous. The film itself is heartbreaking. Human pain and suffering and torment is literally being capitalized on, daily, hourly, in America. It happens to young boys and men as well but that aspect of human trafficking gets trivialized. There were a lot of good articles on Alternet.org about it but I was unable to locate the exact links when looking them up later to cite. But in "Rape For Profit" they talk about how a lot of these kids are runaways from abusive homes, where they were getting raped and molested by primarily male family members in the first place, thus making them preconditioned to being susceptible to this type of extortion. Which pimps are aware of and pray upon, sometimes establishing themselves as "the boyfriend" first.
And then that AshleyMadison website, is out there capitalizing on and trivializing adultery? All while so many homosexuals fight for marriage access equality and some share holders go and dilute the bonds of marriage for a quick buck? It's disgusting. Profitable temptation at the expense of your marriage. What is the long-term societal cost at the hands of porn?--what is the fall out to be expected?--just so someone can cash in and check out?
In "Rape For Profit" they point out that the pornography industry has helped in feeding an increase in demand for human trafficking. So I wanted to include an interview off of a TBN talk-show where the three male producers share some of their reflections and their documentary is surely worth a viewing as well.
