Study: Young adults now find porn more acceptable
http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/life/20071213/d_porn13.art.htmCollege students, including young women, are far more accepting of pornography than their parents, a shift that might be related to easy access to porn on the Internet, a study reports today.
Most young women in the study said they personally did not use porn, but nearly half said viewing X-rated material was an acceptable way to express sexuality. Only 37% of the fathers and 20% of the mothers surveyed agreed.
The attitude of the young women and men in the study might be influenced by pornographic images that have proliferated on the Internet in the past 10 years, says Jeffrey Arnett, the editor of the Journal of Adolescent Research, which will publish the study in January.
In the 1980s, young adults had to go to a store and ask for the porn magazines, which often were kept behind the counter.
But Arnett says kids today are the first generation in which X-rated images can be pulled up with wireless technology from a hand-held device.
"We're in an age of pocket porn," says study author Jason Carroll.
There's more. Read it if you like. What do you guys think?
I'm part of the generation of kids that suddenly had access to porn on a cool invention called the internet. As such, I have very few inhibitions about regular ol' porn.
Screw magazines.
