It would seem to correlate with the rise of the web and online porn.
It would also seem also to indicate that these scik and sadistic puppies by seeing their most base desires acted out daily in 10,000 websites feel less inclined to act out these desires and instead have become pacified with viewing their every fantasy instead.
It is not exactly high praise for the porn industry -- it says that apparently they are plumbing the depths of what rapists and other sickos want.
That said not all porn is equal and there are definitely many lines and levels within this. Certainly in its milder forms it is very much part of life and humanity and it can not be seperated.
I am reminded of a verse of scripture where the apostle paul rebuked the apostle peter he said how is it that you while living like a gentile expect the gentiles to live like a jew.
The Church has largely become confused by their own rhetoic -- Many of them live a worldly self serving life and expect the world to live a moral christian life. They have tried to create a comfort zone to support their beleifs and hold the world accountable anytime the world offends them -- this view is exactly 180 degrees out of phase with the word of God. In other words the christain should be in fear that he or she is offending the world and thus maligning the name of Christ by whom they call themselves.
Some one else brought up the phrase "Holier than thou" This is actually an accusation of God against beleivers in the old testament and it is echoed in the parable of the God samaritan -- an ungodly "unsaved man who did what none of the highly religious could bring themselves to do lest they soil their person.
The Church is full of porn. But everyone to their own damnation pretends that it is not there -- Chrstianity today did a survey amoung preachers (these would be fundamentalists and evangelicals) and they found 40% admitting that they had viewed porn -- so the number would actually be much higher.
Now if the shepherd of the sheep is viewing porn in their private inner sanctum how much more are their sheep?
Dr James Dobson cited here his son also a preacher was quoted in that christainity today article that he has had a porn problem and his wife is helping him to try to keep stright.
The Bible speaks harshly over those who would preach and condemn others for the same things that they also do.
Jesus said if your light is darkness then how great is that darkness -- unfortunatlely for many in the church that darkness is very great.
