And I always pay attention to what that great philosopher, Janet Reno, has to say.
Pray tell, does the author of the study have an explanation for the existence of rape before today's easy availability of porn? Correlation is not causation. It's more likely that somebody whose sex life is all screwed up will seek out porn. Perhaps porn provides some satisfaction that reduces the desire to rape real women.

I would say that porn is far from being the sole factor here. I would also argue that parental example could easily play somewhat of a role as well. For instance, let’s say you were a young boy, raised by a single mother, who had no real effective father figure in your life, save perhaps a gang leader, do you think that would have some effect in your development of a moral instinct not to rape? Let’s say you were a person whose mind was messed up by being high and stimulated by a mind-altering drug, do you think you would be thinking all so straight about the situation you were in, or that your standards regarding not committing rape? Or let’s say you were a person who felt megalomaniacal. All I can say is that the list goes on extensively of factors that may play into the problem. I do, however,believe a lack of proper father figures, or issues of mental health, are also part of the problem as well.
