There is another issue that is over looked. Men and women have different
kinds of porn. Most women will say they have never looked at porn...which
may be true. But most romance books now in days are very verbal porn. Men
prefer plain photo type porn. Women want emotional issues with their
"lovemaking". Also soaps are getting more and more close to porn too.
I have a problem with who will be judging what is porn too. There are parts
of the King James Bible that are very verbal porn.
When it comes to kids I think parents are the ones who bring it into the
home be it men or women's kind of porn. I have no kids. I saw a little
photo porn as a child and had no interest in it then or now. I do love
romance books, but I don't fool myself into think it doesn't have porn
parts.
There are a lot of books on everything from UFOs to god knows what. The
fact that lots of people make lots of money writing books would not make me
believe in or against anything.

I don't know anyone with that addiction either and I know a lot of adults
who, as children, including myself, saw porn a lot more hardcore than
Playboy. I think so-called studies like this come under the heading of
pseudo-science. It is similar to the reports of playing classical music to
plants which then thrived and Jazz to plants that then died. Then a few
years later someone else plays Jazz to his plants and they thrive while the
ones which had rock played to them died. I am waiting for the announcement
of the experiment in which Rock was played to some plants while Hip Hop was
played to others. If the experiments are conducted at all, rather than just
reported, the results seem to coincide with the musical tastes of the
experimentor, or more accurately, the person who reports it. There was
another report of someone who prayed for one group of plants and cursed
another group. Considering that the person in question was a priest I
suppose you can guess how that one turned out. You can also see similar
reports about the dire psychological consequences to women who have
abortions, reported only by abortion opponents. What it comes down to is
that certain people either make up or, at the very least, exaggerate effects
to bolster their prejudices. I think we need an off-line Snopes to track
these rumors.
