I find it ironic your empirical evidence is a sensationalistic article with no empirical evidence. I was hoping for better.

Porn makes money therefore it is abused? Lusting after other women predates the modern porn industry. For example, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife."

Very often our assumptions about what "must be" are wrong.

Why is it sensational? I might look for stats later, but surely a certified professional in the field has some credibility.

"Porn makes money therefore it is abused"

That isn't what I'm saying. Porn makes so much more money than any other online industry that it seems very likely the money comes from abuse. Similar to why the drug trade is so lucrative.

Also, I did not say lust is a new phenomena. In fact, you agree with my point. Since it is such a common aspect of being a male throughout history, then it seems easy to infer men are likely to indulge in an easy outlet for eroticism.
