I find the question irrelevant. I assume that all aspects of a person's life, and all things they see or do or think about, will affect their behavior. Sorting out what influences tend to cause behaviors that are harmful to others is useful; sorting out what influences "affect behaviors" is meaningless. Everything affects behavior.
Well, if you consider filtering to be the same as banning, then that part of the discussion is a little tough to resolve. I don't think they're the same thing.

But if you think that everything affects behavior, then we've reached agreement on the idea that erotic literature affects behavior as erotic literature is a part of everything. Who knows how it will affect them--I'm inclined to think it will affect them with regards to their views on sex/sexual behavior--but we agree that it will affect them.

I'm not trying to be dim here, but I'm not sure I understand your answer.
