Can someone explain why soldiers are banned from watching porn down range?

If sexual assault is such a problem in the Army, and military as a whole, why would you stop soldiers from being able to get out their urges as easily as possible when they already can't have sex for 9 months? I understand local laws, but we've invaded these countries... We're breaking plenty of local laws.

It's against the UCMJ to be in possession of porn much less anything else of that nature. Look, I'm going to be completely real with you, there are female soldiers that sleep with anything. But to create an environment that would endanger females that don't sleep around or even make soldiers, is against the Soldier Code. If anyone, female or male, are that weak they don't need to wear a uniform, go join some other organization where lives aren't at risk if you lack self control.

The no sex, gambling, drinking makes us pissed off and want to destroy the enemy.

Porn also drives some soldiers to sexual assault. The fact that you even think this is acceptable makes you a security risk. Your weak and a weak soldier can be compromised.

Sexual assault is not to do with urges for sex as it is for power and control. Pornography is not a deterrent to sexual assaults as much as bystander intervention is.

Because studies have shown porn is a precursor for sexual deviance and a contributing factor in assault. Secondarily the climate we function in includes individuals whom photography is offensive.

The two are most unrelated. I echo the NCOs here that you need to gain understanding of why things are what they are.
We did nit “invade” and lack of sex is only a possibility in a minuscule number of cases... again, almost all research shows it has nothing to do with that.

I served in two wars as an Army Combat Support nurse and sex was the farthest thing from my mind.
Worked with many men, they weren't interested either, we were too busy I guess taking care of the wounded. Makes one lose their appetite for much of anything.
Why would you think watching porn would stop sexual assaults?
