pornography is public health crisis and untreated pandemic

автор какбе опровергает тезис, вынесенный в сабж

epidemic = (an) occurrence of a disease clearly in excess of normal expectancy

Pornography is not a disease. It is, however, a scapegoat for the consequences of certain societal phenomena that result in negative sexual health outcomes. As a public health professional, I believe that sexual shame and stigma, institutionalized misogyny, and inadequate sexual health education are far greater barriers to healthy sexuality than pornography itself.

The pornography epidemic is not a public health crisis, it’s a moral panic.

Labeling pornography as an epidemic sensationalizes the issue—thereby inhibiting rational, balanced discussions of what really could be done to promote sexual health in our society.

...we can choose to support ethically-produced, woman-friendly pornography
