Pornography is a really vast, diverse media industry, like other media industries, like Hollywood or television or the music industry. We have academic work that looks quite rigorously at how those industries do what they do, why they do what they do, who consumes those products and with what effects. So why we need good, empirical, data-driven research on pornography is because we should be asking those same questions. Who uses pornography? What motivates people to use pornography? What effects does pornography have on individuals, on relationships, on the way people think about the world in which they live? People who are doing this work are very invested in treating pornography as they would any other media or cultural industry.
