rushdie’s point is not numbers, it’s that “If Western pornography is a symptom of Western decadence”, extraverted, orgiastic, diverse, “Eastern pornography is a side-effect of Eastern repressions”, and indeed mainstream Asian porn usually involves rape situations, male insecurity, and general introversion.

Fuck that essential freedoms red herring shit. The key point is that that smut is “an effect.” I can dig on that.

Yeah, this is an interesting topic. I read an interesting news report from Pakistan a few days back which is relevant:

-
Mob stops closure of porn CD shops on Hall Road

LAHORE: A large crowd beat back a city government team that tried to close shops selling pornography on Hall Road on Saturday.

Some city government employees ended up in hospital with minor injuries and members of the crowd fired in the air, forcing the raiding team to retreat, according to official sources.

i wonder about the porn stats you link to… Largest consumer of Internet pornography 12 – 17 age group?” how could they possibly know?

i also enjoyed “Women, far more than men, are likely to act out their behaviors in real life, such as having multiple partners, casual sex, or affairs.”
