Unironically yes. Pornography appeals to our monkey brain in a way that violence doesn’t. Violence in media is just an expression of conflict.

Having sex is probably something you will do in your life, mass murder is not.
And just as hitting several hookers in downtown los Santos with a virtual bolide won’t make you a deranged carkiller, being exposed to a scene where two people have virtual and consentual intercourse won’t make you a sex-driven pervert.

I would say this exactly why one topic is more sensitive than the other. No one goes around killing aliens with ray guns, so there really isn’t much to emulate there. Whereas sex appeals to our biology and on young impressionable children, it could have significant impact on them to be continuously exposed to it through media.

Um, have you seen how vicious chimpanzees are when they fight? Violence 100% is monkey brain.
