It is everywhere: On the Internet, in films, in movies, in rap music videos.

Also in the earliest photographs, computer (pre-Internet) BBS file downloads, cave paintings.

It has been around since mankind has.

>>>It has been around since mankind has.<<<

Got to agree with this one. What was the first thing my son’s right hand went to after taking off his diaper?

And you’re right about the use of visual imagery of naked women and depictions of sex to stimulate men. I ust saw this about 45 minutes ago on the Fox news channel as they were selling Pajamagrams and the associated lingerie what went along with the order.

I think anyone would be hard pressed to prove that women’s participation in making themselves look sexually attractive is not biological.

Having said that...

It’s also true that civilization and human progress are accompanied by the control and harnessing of our instincts toward bettering ourselves and our society. Yeah, my son’s hand wandered, but he’s not doing it on the streets, either. Yes, women dress sexy and show themselves off to selected men, but they’re not waiting for the men to line up like the chimps at Gombe, either. Porn is normal - as is keeping it private, behind closed doors, and beneath cultural norms which are more dignified, to use a Victorian term.

So the author is pointed in the right direction, but her perspective is colored by her ideology. IMHO
