You are citing stats from a website hawking internet filters? Do I really need to point out the fallacy in this?

I would be curious to see what they are considering female porn vs male (I mean, are they including Elora's Cave or 'male' sites only), vs gay sites.

There is a big difference between the psychology and presentation of the two/three.

As has already been pointed out, your statistics come from a questionable source, one that has a financial stake in exaggerating the porn "problem". But even if the statistics are 100% reliable (which, for all I know, they are), shall I quote some statistics on the health issues associated with smoking? With fast food? With risky activities such as skydiving, bungee jumping, or crossing the street? Would such statistics justify forbidding consenting adults from engaging in these activities?

That, I can not believe. How do they measure it? Pornography makes a guy fay, I suspect, maybe it's a lot of fay guys posing as women.
