Here, I think may lie (lay, whatever) one of the problems. There are lots of "average" males living here under the bell curve. Also, as you said, not all have the benefit of a good upbringing. This is the target demo for Hef and his ilk.
I do think that with an impressionable person, Playboy can lead to more hardcore magazines. Those magazines can lead to ordering Playboy at Night on cable. when that gets boring, it leads to videos and DVDs, which grow increasingly obscene.
Again, most people are impressionable and if we take into consideration the amount of familial dysfunction and abuse present in society, those impressionable people are now set up to take the fall.
I agree with you. The only thing I question is what we can do about it, really.
The magazines and videos can't and won't ever be legally banned. If they were banned it would just push it underground and still present a problem.
The problem I think is that people lead otherwise empty lives and are drawn into stuff like that. It is seductive.
All I think we can do is lead by example and raise the issue when we can.
