I remember that there was a study done some years ago, apparently showing that the rollout of fast internet access across the US/Western Europe correlated to a decrease in sexual violence. I think it tied in with the 'if men can get off on porn, they're less likely to sexually assault' argument.
Re the thread generally, why is there an assumption that it's right-wingers (and men) who like porn?

No idea about the politics, maybe left wing men are too pussywhipped and soy-guzzling to admit they like it or something (joke).
Actually there’s probably a correlation between respecting women and not as being comfortable seeing them objectified, even if it’s paid consensual playacting.
* the finding that men are more aroused by the visual may well be flawed.Last edited by MsD; 11-03-2019, 14:58.

That said, on reflection, as a demographic they are probably more likely to have a big stash of Razzle and illicit Super 8s in the shed.

That's my theory anyway.Last edited by Lucy Waterman; 11-03-2019, 15:15.

Well, perhaps it's a bit of a stretch, but depriving - or attempting to deprive - certain types of people from access to pornography isn't necessarily going to be helpful, IMO.

I'm not up-to-date with the literature on that subject.

I had a quick look for scholarly articles on gender differences in porn consumption, but could find nothing that recent; the only paper from 2006 cited research from way before that.
I've got Sociology as part of my MSc, so my research into grot is not like your looking at grot, just so we're clear.

Got it.
I too looked for any academic analysis of porn consumption and voting preferences. I didn't spend too long on it but I didn't find anything re. RIght-Left affiliations, only that supporters of successful parties were more likely to go searching for porn, testosterone levels raised by a stunning victory in the Herstmonceux by-election or whatever.

Originally posted by ad hoc View PostI fairly regularly end up in countries in which the internet is censored at a national level. The one thing they have in common is that they're all run by authoritarian governments. But of course not all authoritarian governments censor - Hungary, for example, does not (yet) do so. This puts the UK behind Hungary in terms of freedoms, which is not really a place where it ought to be.
