Alright, so I'll admit I didn't read this article carefully. I've got no attention span right now, and if I did I'd actually be studying the Ulster Cycle instead of wandering around on the internet. Anyway, this article is suggesting that the increasing availability of porn is related to the decrease in rape cases. I think it's a really interesting idea, and actually makes a lot of sense. I was wondering what other opinions were. Does it offend your sensibilities? Does it make perfect sense? Do the two seem completely unrelated?

I've always been a little annoyed by the feminist argument against porn. Yes, I would be a happier person if shaved pussies and giant tits weren't required to star in porn, but I think the inherent issues in porn stem from society's assumed gender roles, not the porn itself. What turns people on turns them on because of the culture they live in, and they will thus seek out those images in... Oh crap, it is too late for me to start typing anything coherent on this subject and I really should be reading about Celtic heroic society.

I'd still love to know what people think about the ideas behind the article though.
