I have been saying this since the late 1980's. The reason I decided this was that apart from the softest of soft erotica, porn was illegal in Britain. But when video first came out it was not covered by these laws, so Porn was suddenly available. The quantity of rape and sexual assault cases dropped noticeably. Then in 1984 the British government brought in draconian laws about video, stopping all this porn. The quantity of rape and sexual assault cases started going up again.

And more recently I had cause to look at the UK crime statistics again. In the mid/late 1990's, when the Internet became more popular, and porn again became available to the masses, The quantity of rape and sexual assault cases started to drop again.

Now Scientific American is saying the same thing, perhaps people will listen to me!
