Curiously, the same conspiratorial guy from Australia's takes have come up in this time (although, through C3P). I don't know why anyone there listens to him...

Among other points debunking porn being spooky in my QTed post, there is:

"A 2020 U.S. study analysed 59 studies and failed to find a link between porn and sex crimes (Carr, 2020)(Ferguson & Hartley, 2020).""

...and...

"Dark / taboo fantasies are fairly common and aren't a bad sign (Lehmiller, 2019) (Lehmiller, 2022).

...and "sex dolls"...

"Some argue they reduce child sexual abuse. Finnish therapists who work with sex offenders made such an argument back in 2017 (Sexpo, 2017). Whatever you think of that, there isn't any evidence they increase crime, and studies so far have not supported the possibility they might (Ludden, 2022).
