Internet Porn harmless for adolescents, sex researchers find

    "Sex Researchers suggest not to worry about the flood of nude movies on the internet"

    In its cover story, German magazine "Der Spiegel" shows how Germans are more relaxed about sexuality: in spite the world wide porn hysteria, science was unable to show that the availability of internet porn is damaging to adolescents or children. 

  • derspiegel-coverFeminist Alice Schwarzer advises women to drop boy friends  that insist on porn consumption. If all women followed such feminist advice, there would be no relationships left in this nation.
  • Canadian sex researcher Simon Lajeunesse failed to find 20 young men that were not yet polluted by the ever present porn flood. "We could not find a single one", he said.
  • In every school yard, every computer, cell phone, game console is a potential porn player.
  • Even more so, every owner of a cell phone is a potential porn producer or porn star. Women take a leading role sending their own photos and movies to their partners or their crushes. This is called "sexting".
  • At the end of relationships, some disgruntled men posts such porn on the internet. This genre is called "revenge porn".
  • 18th century archeologists found huge amounts of smut images under the ashes of Pompeii: man with man, women with woman, gods with goats, anal, oral, vaginal. These shocking images were shamefully hidden in secret museums and could be watched only by men who could prove legitimate research interest.
  • Research is unambiguous: 12, 13 year olds are not endangered, not damaged by porn. They don’t start sex earlier, don’t have more partners, have no more pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, abortions then earlier generations without the internet sex. Sex information even has a potential positive effect as sex education.
  • The English "children’s commissioners" report concluded, in 2013, that a causal relationship between porn and risky behaviors can not be shown.
  • Meta researcher Eric Owens reports in the New York Times that no conclusions can be drawn. A few studies find negative effects, such as violent porn may influence children from already problematic families, or Porn creating negative body images. Others find the opposite.
  • Human-Stupidity Analysis

    1. The negative effects are probably false, a confirmation bias. After all, the powerful feminist and religious dogmatics are eager to prove that porn is terribly damaging.  Porn must be really harmless to children and adults, if a large part of research results dodges feminist and religious dogma and finds no harm, even in adolescents.
    2. As Human-Stupidity would expect, "Der Spiegel" reports that moral panic and sex laws in themselves are detrimental:  giving minors access to porn is a felony. Thus educators and teachers can not teach responsible use of porn, nor clarify doubts, by watching porn with the minors.
