WIRED on Congress on porn
Regina Lynn, WIRED magazines in-house master of all things sexual, has a great follow up to the recent congressional hearing on porn. The hearing represents one of the best examples of pseudoscience that the Bush administration has been able to conjure to date.
The stated point of the hearing was to determine whether Congress should fund studies about the effects of pornography addiction on families and communities, and whether it should launch a public health campaign to warn people of the dangers of online porn.
If it’s going to spend money in this arena at all, I’d rather Congress fund studies about the effects of pornography in general, including its effect on the economy, on technological innovation, on sexual function and dysfunction, and so on. Even the anti-porn panelists who testified before Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) admitted the dearth of such studies.
Regina has been writing on all things SexTech since sept and shes been pumping out some great material.
