Seriously...a “Public Health Risk”?
Because according to a few rightwing cranks, porn makes men into raping machines who simply can not stop themselves from increasing rape as they increase viewing porn right?
Rape has been on a downward trend (thankfully) for many years. So as the Internet proliferated the last couple decades or so, and there is an abundance of free porn everywhere, less rape. One could posit that the availability of "wanking material" contributed to the decrease in rape as they're able to get their sexual release from Rosy Palm and her 5 Daughters.
But that assertion would be equally as incorrect and stupid as their assertion. Horny men (and women) have sex. If they don't have a partner, they masturbate. Some use erotic written words, some prefer graphic images, sometimes both....to "aid" in their hedonistic acts of self gratification.
Rapists....rape.
One has nothing to do with the other. One is consent, one is not. I detest people that make up "facts" to serve an agenda which is, lets be honest, based on their religious views of sex being "sinful" and how it ties in with "Original Sin" and all that ideology. I don't view sex as sinful as long as its between consenting adults. I don't care what others religious views are in this...simply do not care. You do whatever you want, but keep your censorship and sexual repression laws away from me...and for the love of God before making absurd claims...do your homework. :)
