Emotions run high and scientific rigour falls aside where it comes to studies of the effect of pornography‚ the use of these studies in mass media and in academic debates. Sifting through mountains of rhetoric can be confusing‚ when few entering the debate can even agree on what pornography is‚ much less what are its corrosive effects.

Abstract Two experiments show the territoriality of leaving drivers when children and intrusion are a factor.
