It’s official. There is no way we can ever find out how porn is affecting us. And that’s because, as it seems, no one can keep his hands above the blanket.
Follow me here and you’ll understand why.
In 2009, researchers at the Université de Montréal in Canada, launched a study in order to examine the effects of pornography on 20-30 year old men. The research started as any other research: by recruiting and interviewing a sample of the research’s target group. And so they did. They started examining heterosexual male university students who consume pornography. (the article continues after the ad)
But, in order to find out how pornography affects people, they needed a sample of both consumers of pornography and non-consumers, right? Right. And that’s the fun part.
When the researchers started looking for male 20-30 years old who never watched porn, it was impossible to find any! “We started our research seeking men in their twenties who had never consumed pornography. We couldn’t find any,” says Simon Louis Lajeunesse, a postdoctoral student and professor at the School of Social Work.
Because of the lack of sample, the research had to be cancelled.
Which, if you think of it, it’s kind of sad. Now you will never know how those PornHub sessions have affected you.
