I recently read an article which tried to explain (and actually did it 
quite well) the purpose, or at least the history, of pornography. It
mentioned the fact that men are more visual when it comes to masturbation
than women, hence pornography. That would also explain why 99% of porn
films are geared to a male audience. The article did a pretty good job backing
up its claims and though I havent decided if it is true, seem to understand
what is being said. Thought I would throw this out for discussion.

If they are correct, is it really degrading for men or women?
