In reply to the discussion: More data driven science on how Porn can be beneficial to people and their relationships. [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)20. Can be. Porn is a pretty broad category.
I mean, it all falls under the category of works designed to be used to prompt or enhance masturbation. Porn includes scenes of intercourse and oral sex, and scenes of gang bangs, bukkake, torture and other acts for humiliation.
Nevertheless, the fact that sex crimes aren't rising or have fallen as porn is available at unprecedented levels means that it will now harder to generate any urgency in the general public about fighting it. Moreover, it's a huge embarrassment to prudes everywhere and of every stripe that the floodgates for porn have been so thoroughly opened and sexual assaults are falling, and in fact, have fallen in most places after Internet connection. Not a deliberate experiment, but one universal enough that the sex-negs shouldn't be allowed to forget it.
But they can still start a witch hunt by saying that there are hundreds of thousands of kidnapped children forced to make porn and into prostitution. They've made absurd claims close to that, even in the UN. No evidence, no survey supports this, but to them, there has to be a horrifying effect somewhere.

The sexual landscape in America has changed rather dramatically. It's why yoga pants are everywhere.

Yoga pants... or why I refuse to drive a car on a college campus. Safer to park and walk.
