Heather:

        Who is Eysenck? Who paid the research?  What was the method?  I find
most of the literature I read (not much) linking violence and sex highly
flawed in both methodology and rigurosity.  Also, for each book affirming
the link you will find another one deconstructing it.

    What I mean is, you have to give more argument here to argue your point
than to drop a name.  Also, even if Eysenck (whoever he or she is) was right
in establishing a link between sex and violence, you do not address the
other points.  1) whether it is a real problem in Internet  2) whether it
has been   used as an excuse to sponsor broad irrational censorship with
dubious right wing political agendas 3) does it help more to the
infantilization of children, producing them as the "ultimate potential
victim"therefore further disempowering an already margnalized group and
furthermore contributing to their being acknowledge only in their victim
capacity?

        I do not think anyone in this list so far have said that it is wrong
to force a child to have sex.  What I been seeing is people warning about
the hidden agenda behind a subject that could be a false hysteria created to
further a specific agenda.

The idea of basing social policy on social science is enough to make one
long for the days of alchemists.
