There are not enough studies into the effect of pornography consumption:

This one claims no effect - ie, that consumption of pornography does not appear to increase the likelihood of rape: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2032762

The one mentioned here claims that cases of rape are decreasing with the availability of pornography: http://voices.yahoo.com/online-pornography-helping-lower-rap....

Clearly nobody likes to think of perverts masturbating to pictures of children, but so long as no children are harmed to make that possible, who really cares?

I would love to see more studies done on the effects of pornography on violent crime - if we can decrease actual cases of child abuse by allowing, for instance, computer generated pornography of that type, then why not?
