A bit off-topic:
Has anyone ever tried to correlate societies porn consumption with the decline of birthrate? I could imagine different countries would have different access to porn, maybe this has an effect?
Of course, Internet porn is only around for a decade and birthrate decline for much longer, but maybe even cheap color print and VHS had lasting effects, not just the pill and women education. Man might not be as horny anymore as the used to be.
- DeepDuh 14y agoI'm pretty sure you'd get a positive correlation - but a worthless one.
- FrojoS 14y agoLikely. But maybe there is enough control groups? Societies with less or minimal porn consumption?
- rmc 14y agoThe main thing that reduces birth rate is longer lifestyle, more education and wealth, education and employment for women, not just porn.
- FrojoS 14y agoYes. I had that whole list in my original comment, than deleted it because it was longwinded. I'm just asking if porn might _also_ be a factor. There are definitely other factors at work anyway. Look at France, which has a much higher birthrate than its neighbors, despite showing similar values in all the factors you named.
