Based on my personal field research, if you like porn AS MUCH as I do, then you are on the pointy part of the bell curve as far as females go, and I'm right on the hump for men.
Don't believe me? How often do men willingly view lesbian porn, and consider it a postive experience? Now. . . how often do women willingly view gay porn, and consider it a positive experience?

Can you support this claim with solid data?
I think it's all supportable, but how about you save me the time and specify which part of it you think is false or unreasonably speculative?

Show me a culture where men, on average, respond more strongly to "sensitive" content, like romantic movies, or where women, on average, respond more strongly to violent content, like UFC fighting.bennyboy Wrote:It's not the same. Women have their OWN unique interfaces with the things that tend to light up their own neural circuitry. Yes, all people are different, but I don't see a lot of guys watching "Lifetime" network with a box of tissues at the ready.Any evidence with this that doesn't involve social conditioning?
Quote:Are you implying that males are unable to control themselves? Honestly you're smarter than that and I feel offended, I'm a male and I love sex - I mean I really do, I have huge tremendous sexual libido I want to have sex all the time and I'd never rape someone, drunk or attractive or provocative or whatever because of my urges - If you what you say really is true, why do women in Islam (Saudi Arabia or India for example) who can't drink and dress covering their bodies get raped so often and it is accepted by society?Some males did not control themselves. To say that they could have done other than they did is to deny deterministic brain function in support of the philosophical idea of free will. Saying "I exercised my will, and so should that guy have exercised his" is great for getting on a moral high horse. It is not, however, a particularly useful stance in trying to reduce rape.
As for the muslim countries, I think the answer is obvious-- these people are sexually repressed because they are told that all non-reproductive sex, including masturbation and porn, is a violation against Allah. So they get all bottled up and end up exploding.
In my opinion, the best way to reduce rape is to have a sexually liberal society, and in particular legalized prostitution. This acknowledges the natural drives of men, provides them with a safe outlet for their urges, and also provides some protection to the women who want to / need to seek pay for sex.
