I'm saying that we don't know if the whole "people have to consume more extreme porn to get their "fix"" is true or not, nor if typical hardcore porn consumption is more widespread today than before.

And at least I'm trying to provide some data points in order to ground this debate to facts, which it doesn't seem like you're interested in as you have provided zero.



Sure, here you go: gather the names of all porn providers, publications, studios, actresses, actors, positions, fetishes, etc. Now analyze search trends. My guess is that if kids want to search for porn, they will do focused search and not type "porn" in google (which sounds ridiculous). My guess is that the sum of searches for that set of queries is the far more representative metric than mere 'porn'.


I'm saying "we don't know" and you're saying "But I do know!", who is the burden of proof on? I think you misunderstand how this whole thing works...
