Why do some people believe that men who watch porn don't respect women?
I watch a lot of porn and I don't see women as being less than men. In fact, I see porn stars as being what they really are; actors. I don't think Harrison Ford is a whip yielding archeologist in real life. I don't think Adam West is a super hero in real life. So why would I think that porn stars are really sex objects in real life?
I watched porn at a young age. But I had a proper upbringing too. So maybe the values I was taught made up for it.
Yeah, but anything can be addictive.

it can be addictive
anais nin - used to write a lot of porn for private collectors
she commented, and this is a paraphrase ....that a taste for the unusual can kill "normal relations"
what she was getting at, was fixations...very hard to treat if they become pathological

Men are visual creatures. I can walk into the room naked and I've got my boyfriend's attention instantly. He could do the same and be thinking, "Cool! He's naked!" But it's not until he kisses me or touches me in some way that I'm totally all hot and crazy for him. He does watch porn, never when I'm around and it's never a problem. A lot of men look at it and that's normal. However, what you describe here is definitely an addiction and it's definitely a problem. Before you marry him, please go to a marriage counselor right away. You guys need to deal with this issue. It's not going to go away once you say your vows. A trained therapist can help you get to the root of this and then help you to decide what's the next move for you. Good luck!

Because they don't! They see them as objects and not people, hence why these stalker/peeping toms say the "porn whores" are not real people at all, and they think it's normal to sit and watch two prostitutes have sex for money. Because they have no respect

Some people believe that anything that the church says is wrong, is wrong. No questions asked. They in turn will use any analogy in that regard. They first will say 'it spreads diseases', then 'it causes wanted pergnanacies', then 'men who watch that have no respect for women'. That is called the shaming effect. And it is always used to make other people see things only as they see them.

Women watch porn too! Clothes don't have to be taken off. My boyfriend's favorite porn star went by the name of Karla Spice, and she never shows any private parts in her solo pictures, but she is one of the biggest "porn" stars in Latin America, was.
People call each other by animal names during sex because it's a turn on, it's wild.. sex is animalistic. I call my boyfriend a dog. There is a sex position called after dogs. In Twilight (non-nude porn) there is a man women go crazy after who is a werewolf.

They think you must look at women as objects for your pleasure, therefor that you must not respect them, since the sole purpose of porn is sexual pleasure.

You might not think Harrison Ford is a whip yielding archeologist in real life but an eleven-year old might not make the same distinction and that's when boys start watching porn now.
I really fear porn warps their brains at a very vulnerable age. I do think your average adolescent boy is a lot more disrespectful of girls now than they used to be and the easy access to porn is likely the reason. I also fear that a porn habit in one so young might mean that they will be incapable of having real relations with women.
Recent research ( More Than a Body: Mind Perception and the Nature of Objectification) shows that taking off a person's clothes changes a person perception of that person - not really as an object so to speak but as an animal.
"In short, it doesn't look like pornography is leading men to treat women as mere 'objects' (like a table). Instead, we seem to be getting something that might be called animalification-treating a woman as though she lacks the capacity for complex thinking and reasoning, but at the same time, treating her as though she was even more capable of having strong feelings and emotional responses."
This is still problematic. "This can be an extremely degrading and harmful form of treatment, but all the same, it is something quite different from objectification as traditionally conceived. The problem here doesn't have to do with ignoring a person's mind but rather with focusing exclusively on just one part of that mind."
"Yet “objectification” isn’t always understood as “unthinking and unfeeling.” It often means seeing people – usually women — as one-dimensional beings that are ALL about sex. If a man is getting off on a woman’s pain or pleasure, that’s a part of the porn experience. He may be drawn to her pain, and at the same time not care that she wants it to stop. So long as he is aroused, that’s all that matters. Regardless, sex objects exist to serve the desires of others."
When men get off on seeing a woman's pain and don't care that she is hurting there are real issues - and when you consider the amount of rape and domestic violence - you could see this could be a contributing factor.
It's not surprising that sexualized women are indeed called animal names - bunnies, vixens, cougars, and even the sexual organ is a beaver or pussy.

Most men watch porn. Straight men like to look at women they find sexually attractive. Gay men like to look at other men they find sexually attractive.
