Porn is fantasy, and I don’t think it impacts how a person interacts with real life situations anymore than violent video games or violent movies cause people to become more violent in their day to day lives.

Your link was already adressed earlier in the conversation.
Just not the URL/website itself.
As for fantasy, so nursery tales however that doesn’t mean children don’t learn from them or have them shape their worldview.
Everything has meaning and it all shapes perspective if you let it.
Bah. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out that the real-life stakes for women are very high here. Blithely dismissing a phenomenon that may greatly decrease actual real rapes on women because it has not yet been PROVEN to be causative rather than correlative is dumb. Sure, go ahead, study it further, prove or disprove the phenomenon, but in the meantime, keep doing what it was you were doing in hopes it will continue to work, because, and I can’t say this enough, reducing the number of real life rapes on women is a VERY good thing. If it’s not causative, the numbers may and probably will change, and you can discard that theory. But it’s a LOT more important that women don’t get raped than it is that you get to maintain a sense of intellectual rigor.
No of course not, because there’s no conceivable link between that and rape. If you can find one, perhaps we will consider your theory. In the meantime, the idea that works that encourage guys to rub one out might just reduce their tendency to sexually assault women seems quite tenable. It has not been proven, but as I’ve said, I"m all for more research. In the meantime, let’s be pragmatists and use this tool to reduce rape so long as the evidence bears out the notion that it works. People used gravity in aqueducts long before Newton came along. And I bet if the water had started flowing uphill, they would have reconsidered aqueducts.
What we need is a strictly controlled double-blind study. Lock a hundred women up with convicted violent rapists, a third with access to porn, a third without and a third with a porn placebo such as The Tudors.
Also, the study linked found a negative correlation between rape and internet usage. It corrected for dating sites but not social networking or gaming sites. It could be that instead of rubbing one out to sadomasochism, they’re doing something far worse in Goldshire Inn on Moon Guard NA.
As a Second Life Gor player, I resemble that remark!
