All men watch porn, according to the a new study. University of Montreal researchers went looking for men who had never been exposed to pornography, but reported being unable to find even one. With "adult" material now apparently ubiquitous in the internet age, should we be worried about the effects of so many people looking at so much pornography?
Porn is perfectly benign: "We couldn't find any" negative effects of watching pornography in our study, says Simon Louis Lajeunesse, author of the University of Montreal study, as quoted on CNET. Our subjects view it 2-3 times per week, but it "hasn't changed their perception of women" or their desire for a "harmonious and fulfilling" relationship.
