Isn't rape nearly all about power and very little about the sexual > act? Stopping or showing of porn is unlikely to deter a rapist. > > http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/jhamlin/3925/myths.html > > The link says nothing about porn.
Also, I don't think reasons for rape are the same in a country where there is too much pressure to have sex vs a country there is a lot of pressure not to have sex. Will be interesting to compare the actual statistics (not just the ones that are reported) of rape per 1000 men from US and India. Will also be interesting to see if the incidence of rape has gone up in the last few decades, now that there are SO few women per 1000 men. Sex trade has definitely gone up. Buying and selling of brides is now commonplace in Haryana, UP etc. >But a Dan Ariely study showed that people tend to make bad judgements when sexually >aroused. And, porn is a sexual release for an aroused man. So, I'd say it should theoretically bring down the incidence of rape in a repressed society (as opposed to an overtly sexual one)
