Re: [silk] Kids and porn

I've got a number (three is a number, right?) of friends here in Australia that are women working as producers of feminist porn. Certainly there is a huge amount of problematic media that promulgate unhealthy attitudes about women, including in porn, but I would say that's a systematic and

What I did find interesting in that piece I linked to are that the quoted comments speak of a surge in ED in younger men in this generation. Is this an observed scientific fact? And any cause attributed to it? Nikhil Mehra Advocate B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) (NLSIU), LL.M (Northwestern) Chambers of
