Using a character from a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical as an example? Shades of Dan Quayle's Murphy Browne gaffe!
Also, I would submit that associating pornography with some types of mental illnesses may be confusing cause with symptom. People who desire certain types of pornographic images may already have the deviant desires that the author attempts to blame on the images themselves.

The other open question is the definition of decency versus pornography. Remember, Muslim societies require women to be completely shrouded in burkas because the public display of any part of a woman is considered indecent. Where do we draw the line?

I tend to agree. Something was going to get to these people one way or another. Some people are just bad seed, and there's nothing that can be done. You could make the argument that by having access to pornography prevents them from acting out their desires in more harmful ways.
