Abstract

We are in the midst of a massive social experiment that is having a seismic impact on the sexual templates, behaviors, emotional wellbeing, and attitudes of youth. Never before have we brought up a generation of boys who are a click away from viewing free hardcore mainstream pornography or girls who are growing up in this pornified culture.4 The domestication of the Internet, which began around the year 2000, made pornography affordable, accessible, and anonymous, the three key factors to increase demand and consumption.
