“I have to say to myself five times a day, ‘I love you.'” “Does it work?” “I don’t know. Sometimes I wish I had somebody else to say it to.”

“Interestingly, because negative effects of pornography were demonstrated so definitively in Zillmann and Bryant’s study, researchers have had a difficult time getting new studies past academic boards monitoring the use of human subjects. 

If a study’s effects are known to be detrimental - and there is no proof the damage can be permanently reversed - ethics boards will refuse to allow a similar study to go forward. How could a university allow itself to so clearly harm students and other subjects under the auspices of social science research?  Thus subsequent researchers were unable to get new projects approved.

Luckily, the data provided by the Zillmann and Bryant study are thorough and solid; the only thing outdated about the study’s conclusion is the pornography itself and the amount consumed. Today, men who use Internet pornography typically reach the usage levels of the massive exposure group of this experiment (six hours - ed.), and the material they look at tends to be more hardcore.”

Because people are loving science only when it fits their views, instead of appreciating science as a self correcting system and using it to challenge their views and beliefs on a regular basis.
