      Greater pornography use didn't lead to a decrease in sexual satisfaction among adolescents over time, pouring cold water over a moral panic. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224499.2019.1607817 …pic.twitter.com/0VyJIOFycH

      Its a outlier study by a researcher who always seems to find little problems. This page contains over 65 studies link porn use to poorer mental-emotional health & poorer cognitive outcomes.https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/relevant-research-and-articles-about-the-studies/porn-use-sex-addiction-studies/studies-linking-porn-use-to-poorer-mental-emotional-health-poorer-cognitive-outcomes/ …

      lmao - "yes but this guy always finds the opposite of what my book says, here are the cherry picked studies I use to sell my books." A person interested in the truth would try to figure out why the disparity exists between the studies, rather than dismiss it because it feels bad.

      Actually, he reports the opposite of what the preponderance of studies report and what meta-analysis and reviews of the literature report. For example here's a list of over 230 studies on adolescent and porn use that don't align with his outlier:https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/relevant-research-and-articles-about-the-studies/pornography-and-adolescents-studies/ …

      Hi Gary, I have studied the decades long story of media effects research. It began with an unquestioned belief in large effects, was shocked by the incongruous results, and decomposed into sometimes some small effects under some special conditions. Everything else is an outlier.

          However, the internet is not comparable to previous forms of media. Especially streaming hard-core porn available to all ages, via free tube sites. In case you are wondering, I'm a far-left liberal atheist who started the site to help guys recover from porn-induced ED.
