Drastic US decline in rape
An interesting article where the author attributes some of the decline in rape to the availability of porn. I think it makes perfect sense. [Link]

Interesting.. soooo if porn was allowed in Kuwait.. we wouldnt have that many gay people or any rape victims.. now that would be interesting to test…
how bout we try it in one area only.. block off a complete area and perform testing.. like surra or somewhere like that.. give them access to Maxim, Stuff, FHM, Playboy, and lots of porn and see what trends takes place! hehehe!
A Human Controlled Experiment! hehehe

the problem is rape isn’t really so much about sex as it is about power.
In reality, it’s not the virgin computer nerd that commits rape, it’s the asshole popular football player that date rapes girls.
you can also argue that the world used to be a lot more sexually liberated in the 60’s and 70’s as opposed to now. therefore the decrease in sexual result is a result of people being less interested in sex in general and because of other factors such as new diseases.

Bollocks. I dont believe that pornography is beneficial in propagating a healthy society. Afterall, the author is simply theorising. There’s no hard evidence that porn is directly related to the drop in rape cases. He even questions it himself, rather than states it.
I’m surprised that he failed to touch upon how rape is not an act of sexual passion, but one that stems from control, power and aggression.

I guess it declined due the fact they are fucking Iraq inside out, so all the psychos are in this region, not because of Porn.

Hellraiser, actually, during the first wave of US soldiers into Iraq, most of them comprised of the gung-ho, criminally-inclined ‘psychos’ you mentioned.
Just the other day 4 soldiers were in court over the rape and kililng of an Iraqi woman and her family.

I hope it dont, increase the whole shit! Watching porn, getting more provoked for sexual erges. Few years ago in arabtimes, news, about 2 guyers kidnapping school girl, then showing porn and abusing her later.
