Did rape decrease as porn got more ubiquitous? I would think it is a similar correlation, no?
Found an answer to my own question: "Victimization rates for rape in the United States demonstrate an inverse relationship between pornography consumption and rape rates. Data from other nations have suggested similar relationships."

- lo_zamoyski 3y agoThat’s great. I’m not; it isn’t even speech, and I reject the Lockean view of “freedom” anyway (which is actually license). Porn is incredibly destructive. Indeed, both pornography and prostitution are unethical, but of the two, prostitution is less bad. At least there’s another person involved, and the sex act is real, however defective. Less defective and destructive than glad handing yourself and laying waste to your mind that’s also difficult to recover from. Here we must distinguish between state permission and state sanction. The state can licitly permit certain evils if banning them leads to a worse situation, given the crooked state of humanity. Prostitution was traditionally one of these.
- EnergyAmy 3y agoProstitution and pornography are both far less destructive than other evils like religion. Let's start by banning those first.
