What does Scientific American say about porn?
Scientific American article
"For most people, pornography use has no negative effects?and it may even deter sexual violence"
"Researchers suggest, exposure to pornography might make some people less likely to commit sexual crimes."
"Regular pornography use does not seem to encourage sexism, either."
"The survey respondents who were most sexist were generally older men who voted for a right-wing political party, lived in a rural area and had a lower level of formal education."
"Although consumers of pornography did not display more negative attitudes toward women, they were more likely than other respondents to believe that women should be protected from harm?what the investigators call ?benevolent sexism.?"
"Experts believe the consumption of pornography may actually reduce the desire to rape by offering a safe, private outlet for deviant sexual desires."
"?Rates of rapes and sexual assault in the U.S. are at their lowest levels since the 1960s,?
