Porn Is Bad for Kids

You’d think this would be common sense, but some “experts” have dismissed the harm. I agree with Pundette, who says the whole “scientific study” approach is flawed:
We don’t really need a study to tell us that tender, developing minds and souls are bound to be malformed and damaged by exposure to pornography.
One of the weirdest effects of pornified culture is young women feeling pressured to conform to the Porn Norm. Beyond the trend of extreme depilation — the deforestation of the pubic delta, so to speak – now girls are getting surgically altered:
[A] young woman consulted a doctor about the fact that her labia minora extended slightly beyond her labia majora and that this caused her embarrassment. Instead of reassuring her that this was entirely normal, the doctor recommended, and carried out, surgery on her labia.
Ouch. And, honestly, what a tragedy. I’m struggling to find a way to say this in a PG-13 way, so I’ll just say it: Lots of guys like that extra helping of cauliflower. IYKWIMAITYD.
More to the point, form follows function, natural is better, and it’s bizarre to think that women now fear being judged by the aesthetics of their genitalia.
Hear the words of the Rule 5 king: Ladies, it’s all good. If any guy is ever so fortunate as to get close enough for a visual inspection of your Valley of Bliss, you should expect him to genuflect in gratitude.
And give you jewelry.
At any rate, listen to Pundette. She can say all this far more tactfully than I ever could.
UPDATE: On the other hand, Radley Balko makes some good points about the dangers of prosecutorial overkill. A thing can be bad, wrong and immoral without requiring felony charges again 16-year-olds.
