Remember the old argument that porn encourages rape? I've always been suspicious. It would seem that men who relieve their sexual frustrations in private would be less likely to harass real life women. I've sometimes wondered, then, whether sexual assaults have decreased since Internet porn has become more readily available. Here are some rather startling statistics, and they suggest that many measures of sexual irresponsibility have decreased with the increased availability of Internet porn. This includes a decrease in sexually transmitted infections, teen sex, divorce, and rape (since 1995, rape has decreased by 44 percent). This article at Psychology Today concludes: "If Internet porn affects society, oddly enough, it looks beneficial. Perhaps mental health professionals should encourage men to view it."
