The right-wing and religious nuts from every religion and in every country have been fighting for decades (centuries) against what they call pornography or smut. It appears from this study, that the problems they attribute to smut aren't actually caused by it.
The Sunny Side of Smut: Scientific AmericanIt would be interesting to see a similar study made of violent movies and video games. Does scenes and games depicting murder, robbery, rape, and mass killings incite violence? If not, then maybe the US Supreme Court was correct in allowing children to buy violent media. If so, then the Court was wrong in allowing children to buy violent media, while banning them from buying subjectively defined "pornography" -- Their decision was along the lines of "Make war, not love."
