flipping through link, not seeing any stats

  • 31 citations, and the most intelligent response is "not seeing any stats."

    • You'd think they'd want to cite specific stats to quantify the language they're using though, no?

      That they don't pull and display stats from their cited sources would be a bad sign, no?

    • To be fair, the citations don't pass the sniff test. The very first citation contradicts statements in the article. Check the summary for it:

      > Risky sexual behaviors were not associated with online pornography exposure in any of the groups, except that males who were exposed (deliberately or not) had higher odds of not having used a condom at last intercourse. Bi/homosexual orientation and Internet use parameters were not associated either. Additionally, males in the wanted exposure group were more likely to be sensation-seekers. On the other hand, exposed girls were more likely to be students, higher sensation-seekers, early maturers, and to have a highly educated father. We conclude that pornography exposure is not associated with risky sexual behaviors and that the willingness of exposure does not seem to have an impact on risky sexual behaviors among adolescents.
