It might be prudent not to over-generalize one's conclusions from the findings. Australian society is somewhat different from ours. Traditionally, it's been more male-oriented.

Wine and porn don't mix. The one is enjoyed slowly and reveals its essence only gradually; the other is best devoured and discarded as rapidly as a a bag of doritos or a bacon cheeseburger. The former leaves one with a sense of balance, well-being and mental clarity; the other provides quick satiety and then nausea or acid reflux.

Not if you get good wine!

sure, like Ripple or Mad Dog, right?

Isn't life just getting better all the time! Guiness, Red Wine, Porn...all good for you. Next they will come out with some crazy diet where you can eat all the fatty meat you want...oh wait...

"sure, like Ripple or Mad Dog, right?"

I was actually thinking Boone's, but Mad Dog works.

I read an article in Scientific American a while back that said that every society used alcohol (wine, mead, beer, whisky) or boiled water drinks (tea) to avoid germs in the water supply and as a method of food preservation before the era of water purification and refrigeration. Temperance movements only triumphed in the presence of some form of water purification. Thus, the “miracle” of turning water into wine can be said to be making it safe to drink.

PS There is also an empirical study somewhere that the “goal” of porn is a good thing in a urological sense. Just sayin.

Pornography has driven the consumer demand for faster modems.

"...marriages were healthier, while porn made people think about another person's pleasure and made them less judgmental about body shapes."

I can see how this could be true in some circumstances. When you look at all the corporations selling sex on TV, they always use beautiful people, promoting a false sense of what the average person should look like. It leaves men with a desire for someone else. On the other hand, porn sites don't always use the best looking women, and may promote less judgmental attitudes.

I remember a study that found that rapists will never admit that they masturbate. Arguably porn users masturbate more than those who do not seek out such inspiration. Ergo, porn fans are not likely to be rapists, while porn abolitionists are more likely to be perverts. That is why they seek to brand porn fans as perverts: misery loves company.

The underpinnings of laws that regulate private behavior seem to be based on the agenda of those who are uncomfortable with their own behavior. I can not imagine an anti-porn crusader who is good in bed, although I can easily imagine that someone who has never seen any porn might be a caring considerate and giving lover.
