To be honest, I would expect many studies to have rather a moralistic bent, since it's getting into issues of right and wrong, cultural issues rather than strictly behavioral ones.
That said, I do think there is something to the idea that early exposure to porn does change one's expectations when it comes to sex. Sure, you could view like a "action movie" version of the act, but all the same it could taint somewhat one's ideas of how it's done, what the opposite (or same for that matter) sex is like in or out of bed, etc.
Banning it is, of course, ridiculous and impossible, so I wouldn't support it even if I thought it was morally justified (precious little is).
- sarciszewski 12y agoThis was a well written and insightful comment. I couldn't have said it better myself. :D From the grandparent: > like seeing bomb victims on nightly news or ISIS beheadings on Facebook That's an interesting point to bring up. Maybe if you raise hell to the members of Parliament, they'll act to ban that stuff too?
- pyre 12y agoThey won't ban that violence. How else can use terrorism to scare people into supporting whatever it is you want them to support?

- rimantas 12y agoStill baffling, that violence and murder you see on TV almost non-stop is not considered a big problem. Probably because it is not. Everyone is going to deal with sex. Only a few will have to deal with murder. Go figure.
