I agree with a lot of what Kat said.

Most importantly, in an environment where people have strong convictions and moral beliefs that frequently clash with cultural changes, people frequently confuse causation with correlation because they're so desperate to be correct.

The whole porn = sex offender thing reminds me of the entire video games = violent crime argument. While there is certainly correlation, there is usually evidence contrary to causative theories.

yeah, that's not what the article is saying. In fact it's saying exactly what you and Kat are saying (and what I tried to say): that causality is complex and impossible to demonstrate. Please see comments below about accountability.

PS - I think the face of porn is successfully changing and that we'll have all types of porn to choose from, and that one day this won't be the dominant type, but only one among many. yay for naive idealism!!! :)

Just research what's out there, it's encouraging.

i think one day it won't be, but i think that will be a long way from now hehe.

i honestly think that before there can be a true sexual revolution (that bullshit in the 60s was *not* a sexual revolution... it just meant girls were that much easier) there has to be a proper gender one. i don't even know what i mean when i say that though. i'm totally out of my depth and flailing haha. :p
