The Gods of the Copybook Headings always get the last laugh.

"Internet pornography is creating a generation of young men who are hopeless in the bedroom, according to research. Exposure to lurid images and films in the new media is de-sensitising so many young people that they are increasingly unable to become excited by ordinary sexual encounters, a report said."

Another worthless and incorrect study.

I don't understand -- are women complaining they don't get enough sex?

I'm 54 and still have the same desire I've had since I was 13 in 1970 when I was then looking at Dad's Playboys so I'm not sure seeing more kills desire.

I have enjoyed reasonable enjoyment of seeing naked women in print and screen for many years.

Unless one is obsessive and replaces interaction with warm blooded women with computer sex or maybe that is all they have then I don't see this as the issue the article claims except:

1) all women are not as physically beautiful as on the screen or magazines...as a rule.. so one can get crazy expectations...I know homely men who simply must have supermodels and wait forever

2)due to the often heightened nature on entertainment sex in mags and computer some men...and maybe women..the kind that like it “rough”..get oversexed by kink and freak..and that can lead to a dark place if overindulged...everyone like thigh highs and a little playing and stuff..and passion but when it gets to where you always have to have whips and chains and dress up or group sex or gang bangs and all the wild stuff you see today and you can no longer just enjoy the warm slow melt of a good woman one on one in a nice bed or backseat of your pickup then you have let something in that is destructive..I have seen this firsthand where guys usually but some women just have to go kink all the time and they get numbed to relationship sex...and yes..no question that internet freak has made women more bizarre than before where some simply feel they must do what they see some screen prostitute doing for money that really has not much place in a love relationship or marriage....

3)the access of hard sex for kids on the internet troubles me because it's just too much too soon..when I was a kid you had to seek it out usually from somebody’s dad that had it hidden away some closet or drawer...black and whites and pasty gals and swarthy men not doing anything particularly unordinary

There is no doubt that sex has loosened markedly and that women are now about as promiscuous as men in youth and they will do things now ..oral etc..that few did in my day. I think now they believe it's expected.

The paradox in all this is that in the white community in particular as women have become more sexually loose that men have become less masculine at the same time. The corresponding change in the black or latino community except at the higher ends is simply not happening with the men getting slighter built physically and acting feminine...so bizarre

I think this stuff will run it's course but at a price.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!! /NOT!!!

Remove sex from love, commitment and marriage - or even a real human being - and voila! Destruction of the natural biological urge. What to speak of relationships, marriage, families... and any children who are accidentally or even purposely exposed to the filth that is pornography.

People need to keep in mind that for the first 200 years of our country (maybe minus 20 years or so), no one thought that the First Amendment rights covered obscenity or pornography. Thanks to porn producers, the ACLU and a leftist dominated SCOTUS, we now have pornography without limits, abortion and homosexual indoctrination 24/7.

Forgive me, but when I read something like this article that pretty much strikes my logic and common sense circuits in the same way that "Increasing Global Warming from CO2 will suffocate the entire planet by 2015" or "Blood will run in the streets if we let people carry guns whenever they want to" does, I just gotta go look at who the "author" of the piece is.

Marnia Robinson is a former corporate attorney with degrees from Brown and Yale who writes books about the unwelcome effects of evolutionary biology on intimate relationships and the striking parallels between recent scientific discoveries and traditional sacred-sex texts. Her cross-disciplinary perspective incorporates the insights of psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, evolutionary biologists, anthropologists and even ancient sages. With her husband Gary Wilson, who taught anatomy and physiology for years and is a neuroscience enthusiast, she writes articles for publications as diverse as The Evolutionary Review and the award-winning anthology Toward 2012: Perspectives on the Next Age. With Gary's help, she also blogs on "The Huffington Post" and "The Good Men Project." Cupid is available on Kindle and has been published in German.

At least she only specializes in "unwelcome effects of evolutionary biology on intimate relationships". Lord only knows what she'd find if she looked at "welcome effects" on things. But I can't help but wonder, although I can't find, if she specialized in "Womyn's studies" and "Gender studies". Well, she's a lawyer and has worked for Campbell's Soup, at least. And not to put too fine a point on it, she blogs at the Huff'nPuff.

Another red flag is when I see "cross-disciplinary perspective" or "interdisciplinary studies" in the biography of these "researchers." An interesting quote from her LinkedIn page: "No mammals are sexually monogamous, and yet close, trusted relationships are our best health insurance." HUH??

We all know that men are horny, pr0n addicted misogynists, but some statistics (from 2005-2006 but probably still valid) indicate that one in three visitors to pornographic websites are women. But 70% of them keep their cyber activities secret. Also, 17% of women admit to being addicted to pornography. Twice as many women as men favor chat rooms. And "Women, far more than men, are likely to act out their behaviors in real life, such as having multiple partners, casual sex or affairs." Or "Statistics indicate the term “sex” was searched for as often by female consumers as it was by males."

I wonder if Ms. Robinson read any of these statistics in her "cross-disciplinary" research on the "unwelcome effects" of porn.

It's always amazing to watch the knee jerk reaction against anything considered "porn", especially when you consider that Saudia Arabia, Iran, Syria, Bahrain, Egypt, UAE, Kuwait, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Kenya, India, Cuba, China are the top pornography banning countries; while searches for the keyword "sex" are from the countries 1. Pakistan, 2. India, 3. Egypt, 4. Turkey 5. Algeria 6.Morocco, 7. Indonesia, 8. Vietnam 9. Iran 10. Croatia. -- notice any sharia law countries in that list? Hmmmm? Poor little muzzies with their burqa clad wimmen can't get enough T & A? (Won't get into the list for "xxx" or "porn".)

Then there's this little gem: "Promise Keeper men who viewed pornography in last week - 53%". (But it was just for "research", I'm sure.)

While "The pornography industry is larger than the revenues of the top technology companies combined: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo!, Apple, Netflix and EarthLink" and "US porn revenue exceeds the combined revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC", China, South Korea and Japan have larger revenues from porn than the U.S. In fact, those top three countries' porn revenues are larger than all the rest combined... including the U.S.

Isn't it interesting that something so universally disparaged, excoriated and legislated against is still so popular with nearly every facet of the human population. Even those who are most against it. I think Ms. Robinson needs to take her "cross-disciplinary", gender studies glasses off and maybe look at the forest instead of the trees.
