So is the criminal mind attracted to the porn or does the porn create the criminal mind?
Cool.... can we all post our graduate theses on FR now?
Can't read the article, my eyesight, you know.
This reeks of agenda.
After a preliminary scan of this article, It would seem the dominant (pun unintended) thought process is POWER.
Not NUDITY, NOT SEXUAL RELATIONS, but POWER over another.
Most or all of these killers and abusers (IMHO) are dealing with FRUSTRATION. They see themselves as having a lack of power over others (preventing them from getting satisfaction, sexually or otherwise), and they find sources of others attaining that POWER.
They then eventually decide since others can use their POWER to dominate and achieve satisfaction, that they can too. In that respect, the pornography supports and fuels their crime.

I don't care what you say, I paid good money for my copy of Virtual Jeese Jane and I ain't sending it back.
If someone actually wants to read one of these books, a link will suffice.
A lot of minds are attracted to porn, some of them criminal, some of them not.
Most sexual predators use knives, too but I don't hear a cry to outlaw those.
Rape is a crime of violence, control and power. The sex part is a means to an ends for these sick people.
Protection From Pornography Week, 2003By the President of the United States of America
A ProclamationPornography can have debilitating effects on communities, marriages, families, and children. During Protection From Pornography Week, we commit to take steps to confront the dangers of pornography.
The effects of pornography are particularly pernicious with respect to children. The recent enactment of the PROTECT Act of 2003 strengthens child pornography laws, establishes the Federal Government's role in the AMBER Alert System, increases punishment for Federal crimes against children, and authorizes judges to require extended supervision of sex offenders who are released from prison.
We have committed significant resources to the Department of Justice to intensify investigative and prosecutorial efforts to combat obscenity, child pornography, and child sexual exploi-ta-tion on the Internet. We are vigorously prosecuting and severely punishing those who would harm our children. Last July, the Department of Homeland Security launched Operation Predator, an initiative to help identify child predators, rescue children depicted in child pornography, and prosecute those responsible for making and distributing child pornography.
Last year, I signed legislation creating the Dot Kids domain, a child-friendly zone on the Internet. The sites on this domain are monitored for content and safety, offering parents assurances that their children are learning in a healthy environment. Working together with law enforcement officials, parents, and other caregivers, we are making progress in protecting our children from pornography. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 26 through November 1, 2003, as Protection From Pornography Week. I call upon public officials, law enforcement officers, parents, and all the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.
GEORGE W. BUSH
I agree - that was the point of my post. Although I have posted pictures in the past, I don't like graphics-heavy posts, or spam posts across multiple threads for the same reason.
Please explain how your post meets these criteria.
That's beneath you.

This guy's gotta be a big fan of the burka. Any idea the percentage of embezzlers who have a hidden stack of porn?
Thanx for the post. Many people have a tongue-in-cheek perspective about porn.
The fact is that it devastates families, corrupts youth and degrades humans.
And internet porn with easy access is making the problem worse.
I prefer lesbian porn, personally.
