Rape down 85% in 25 years. Porn sales brisk.
The incidence of rape in the United States has declined 85% in the past 25 years while access to pornography has become freely available to teenagers and adults. The Nixon and Reagan Commissions tried to show that exposure to pornographic materials produced social violence. The reverse may be true: that pornography has reduced social violence.http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.c...ract_id=913013 |
The wackos have an outlet.

That's because they invented the fleshlight

Fleshlight...yeah.... :-)

Unfortunatly since republicans can't even accept evolution there is no way they will accept this.

I believe that if the pornography is freely available to teenagers and adults there is less rape cases.
You hand is your best friend. |
I'll bet the government doesn't fund many more studies into that.

:1orglaugh :winkwink: :thumbsup But for real, that's an interesting piece of data. |
Similar figures can be found in Europe. But the Christian right will not accept it, they will tell you the opposite it true and the figures are manipulated to make the porn industry look good.

Might want to read "Freakonomics." The highly respected statistician author offers an alternative explanation, based solidly on statistics, as to why crime rates in this country have dipped so dramatically.
Not to say porn isn't responsible for helping reduce rape, just that books such as that one go to show how difficult it is to show *any* causal connection between any two phenomena. |

:thumbsup but i have to say... proving a statistical correlation between two events does not automatically mean they are both related. the book is mostly entertainment... unless you really can believe that its a fact that legal abortion reduced gang violence in the 80s-90s etc. |
that's good news
