This is a rather interesting and disturbing new study. It is reported through this site...

A new study shows young adult women are becoming more tolerant of pornography.
The research -- part of a larger study called "Project Ready" -- found that college-aged women could be more accepting of pornography than their fathers. According to the study, 65 percent of men, 48 percent of women, 36 percent of fathers, and 20 percent of mothers agreed that pornography was an acceptable way for someone to express their sexuality.
Pat Trueman of the Alliance Defense Fund (http://www.alliancedefensefund.org/main/default.aspx) says the results are not surprising. "... You've got a generation of people growing up embracing something that is not helpful, [and a society that] is treating women as though they're mere sexual objects," he criticizes.
Trueman also points out that porn gives young men a sense of "entitlement" when it comes to sexual relations in the dating realm. Consequently, he laments, "men don't know how to have a relationship -- [and] the women wanting a relationship seem to adopt the male point-of-view on pornography."
Researchers also found a correlation between the use of porn and participation in other risky behaviors, such as drug use, binge drinking, and promiscuous sexuality.
