Thought you guys would find this interesting; these facts are from the document found here: https://www.thepinkcross.org/sites/default/files/ccv.pdf
The following are excerpts from the Introductory Summary:
Date: Summer of 1986
Dr. Judith Reisman, principal investigator for the study entitled, "Children, Crime, and Violence in the Pictorial Imagery of Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler" testified on the findings before the United States Attorney General's Commission on Pornography on November 21, 1985. Visual images of children in sexual and violent contexts were analyzed in 683 issues of the three adult magazines beginning with Playboy's initial December 1953 issue through Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler issues of December 1984. Researchers counted children in cartoons or photgraphs, and references to children in cartoon/photograph captions.
-Each cartoon or photograph was examined for characteristics of child or adult depected, the activities in which the child was involved, the nature of the activity, and the state of dress or undress of the child. Pseudo-children (adults dressed and posed as children) and any discrepant body features, such as oversized breasts on a small child's frame, were also noticed.
-The study identified three basic themes: nonsexual, nonviolent activities such as memories; violent activities such as murder, maiming or surgical procedures; and sexual activities such as intercourse or a child appearing nude.
-A total of 6,004 photographs, illustrations, and cartoons depicting children appeared in the 683 magazines. Hustler depicted children most often, an average of 14.1 times per issue, followed by Playboy (8.2 times per issue) and Penthouse (6.4 times per issue).
-Findings include the following
-1,675 child images were associated with nudity
-1,225 child images were associated with genital activity
-989 child images were associated sexually with adults
-792 adults were portrayed as pseud-children
-592 child images were associated with force
-267 child images were associated with sex with animals or objects
-51% of the child cartoons and 46% of the child photographs showed children age 3-11
-More girls than boys were associated with sexual assault
-More boys than girls were associated with violent assault
...........
I wonder if such a study was done these days, what would be found?
Food for thought.
