I agree strongly with Rlyss.
This is different to how porn was in the past. Different does not necessarily imply bad. However, it is reasonable to wonder whether this massive change in the nature (type of images available) and accessibility of porn might affect young people and society.
In my opinion now - the changes have already started. Call me a wowser (ie easily disturbed), but in my experience, adults/workmates are now occasionally but openly sharing images of women with animals. At work via email.
Surely - if kids are getting the same or similar files in their emails then it is not comparable to the occasional pics of a naked women that I saw handed around the schoolyard as a boy.
At the same time, female "role models" are changing. Look at Paris Hilton, Britney, Pamela, Ms Jackson. Or don't look at them. I wonder how their images and accidental movies of these celebrity products slot into the minds of young girls, and how this behaviour fits with the images of women in hardcore porn.
