Is porn immoral? That doesn’t matter: It’s a public health crisis.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

63. This completely ignores the correlation vs causation debate.

And since that's the central point of disagreement, I don't think this article adds much. It's simply recapturing home turf and declaring it a victory.

Pretty much everyone agrees watching porn is correlated with all sorts of negative sexual behaviours; since you'd expect the kinds of people who go in for these to also be disproportionately likely to watch porn, that's entirely unsurprising.

The controversial question is whether porn also has a causal effect, and if so in which direction - "outlet valve" arguments are certainly not absurd on the face of it.

At its worst, this article even seems to be actively trying to obscure that - terms like "porn exposure" seem to be picked to imply that porn is something that happens to a random selection of the population, and hence any correlation is likely to be causal, which is obviously nonsense.
