Have an upvote, though I don't see any reason to believe that the negative correlation between porn and sex crimes in any way proves that my personal opinion, based in part on first hand experience interacting with heterosexual men, is wrong. I think all it means is that having some outlet is better than having no outlet, not that viewing porn makes would-be rapists have more humane and enlightened attitudes towards women. Similar to the fact that countries with inadequate legal exports are your biggest exporters of illicit drugs: They need hard currency and that need doesn't go away just because they lack better options. If given better (more socially acceptable) options, people will usually take the easier path that leads to fewer problems. It is a form of self interest, not necessarily an expression of deeply respecting other people.
