Pornography Helps prevent sex crimes ?

A research conducted by Antony D’Amato concluded that sharp rise in access to pornography accounts for decline in rape in USA. His published research titled ‘Porn Up, Rape down’ revealed that incidence of rape in the United States has declined 85% in the past 25 years due to easy availability of pornographic materials to teenagers and adults. His research revealed that incidence of rape has declined from 2.7 rapes for every 1,000 people in 1980; by 2004 to ,0.4 per 1000 people, a decline of 85%.

Antony D’Amato is a lawyer and a professor of law at the Northwestern Law School in Chicago, USA,

Further research by Anthony D'Amato also revealed that in places with there are lowest Internet access (to porn sites) were also those with the highest incidence of crime against women. Antony D'Amato reasoned that the substantial decrease in sexual crimes against women in areas where pornography are easily accessible are due to (1) watching pornography eliminate sexual desires. And, (2) Sex has been de-mystified by pornographic films and by the Internet.

Hmm,,,, foods for thoughts. Back to Malaysia, we pride ourselves with highest level of moral and religious values. Holding hands is a crime. Dressing too sexily is also crime. We even raided tourists in the hotel room and demanded to see their married certificate, otherwise, it is a case of "close proximity" crime ! Despite all these holier than thou morality, I wonder why there are so many incest and sexual crimes in Malaysia ? Could it be due to our Censorship Board's over jealous snipping of movies and reading materials to the extend that we are breeding a new generation of sexually ignorance perverts ? Could it be too much faked religiosity being preached ? Or, could it a case of ignorant denials and deprivations of sexuality....... Well, it simply just doesn't make sense anymore... Too many Jackals and Hydes running, walking, and snooping around the corners.....

Put a BIRD and a BEE together, what will you get ? A BABI ?
