I wish there was more open public discussion about the harms of pornography, particularly on young people. There is a lot of moralizing from the anti-porn side which I think makes the discussion difficult, especially since feelings of shame already clog up open dialogue.

Remember for 30 years everybody argued violent video games make kids more violent (it seemed so obvious!), and then large-scale psych studies showed that they don't, actually. Similar thing is happening in porn research -- the more we learn, the less evidence of harm there is.
