Pornography's Effects on Adults and Children (Research)

by Victor B. Cline, PhD (c) 2002   Abstract: Whether pornography has any significant harmful effects on consumers continues to be a controversial issue, not only for average citizens but also for behavioral scientists.

He's Just Not that Into Anyone (Opinion)

New York News and Features By Davy Rothbart Jan. 30, 2011 *This article contains strong language. I met the woman at a Broadway show, but the night’s best piece of acting, I’d say, came from me, back at her East Village apartment, after we’d been having sex for about 25 minutes, with Neil Young wailing [...]

Men as Victims (News)

Net Nanny by Mark Kastleman In my last article, I discussed how pornography’s scourge scorches the soul of the innocent-the children and teens.

Porn, Novelty and the Coolidge Effect‏ (News)

This neurological mechanism perceives each new erotic possibility—including those on your screen—as a valuable genetic opportunity, and jolts you into action with potent neurochemicals.

Why Shouldn’t Johnny Watch Porn If He Likes? (News)

It’s normal for kids to want to learn all about sex, especially during puberty and adolescence when reproduction becomes the brain’s top priority. For this we can thank the specifics of teen-brain development. Think of an adolescent jungle primate watching another band with such fascination that he (or she, in some species) leaves his companions, and endures the [...]

More than a Body: Mind Perception and the Nature of Objectification (Research)

Abstract: According to models of objectification, viewing someone as a body induces dementalization, stripping away their psychological traits.  We present evidence for an alternative account where a body focus does not diminish the attribution of all mental capacities, but instead leads perceivers to infer a different kind of mind. Drawing on the distinction in mind [...]
