Not saying it is impossible, but the simple fact that internet exists or not is absolutely not indicative of porn having a positive or negative effect. It is a pretty weak article to use as evidence against what I am saying when it states clearly that these are only associations and correlations and essentially guesswork.

It is just as fair and, dare I say, more sensible to assume that places with internet have been more informed, more developed, and more progressive than places without and therefore have less uncivilized behaviour.

I will preface this next part by saying I have no idea if it is true or not, and I don’t really want to search for it for obvious reasons. But my wife was telling me about a study done in some Asian country where they literally prescribe pedophiles with child-like dolls to “have a harmless outlet” and it was found that it only made their impulses stronger and they eventually grew bored by the dolls. Again, not sure how credible it is so take it with a grain of salt.

I just don’t see any reason why we should deem it acceptable in any form.
