I have been thinking about this alot lately: Its a hard subject to consider objectively. In the past after reading 'The Porn Report' I started feeling okay about porn, how people use it and see it. However..... I think I am reconsidering my position. 'The Porn report ' was as a study of adult users who were happy to admit using porn - also much of the research was pre easy internet access.
I would dearly love to see some qualitative research about young people ( from the age that they start accessing computers), what they think about the imagry they see, how do they see this as fitting into 'media' how do they discern what is real and acceptable or not real and unaccepptable? Does it bother them? Does it make any difference or not??? I have my own ideas after talking with my children and thier friends. - but of course research and ethics makes it very difficult to 'do' research on young people.
Anyway - I am not saying Porn is good or Bad. I would just like to know its impact on our young people.
You may want to have a look at this site for some information re research.
