Anti-porn propaganda may cause 'stage fright' in sperm donors

[Boojatta]

Do you ever think about couples who want a baby, but are having trouble? Sperm donors provide help, but how do they do it?

A new study has found that, although it is common for donors to use pornographic magazines, many donors feel that porn is evil, and this stops them from donating sperm -- or causes them to take so much time producing a sample that sperm banks are forced to increase the number of donating rooms, increasing the cost to couples who want to have a baby. Pro-porn rhetoric has been found to neutralize the feeling that porn is evil, and that could help sperm banks facilitate efficient self-stimulation, which is a popular cost-cutting tool among sperm bankers.

Researchers studied the patterns at a donating room in the Austin, Texas branch of Fairfax Cryobank, and interviewed the sperm donors afterward. They found that donors felt more comfortable producing their own samples if they were alone or in a crowd. But if there was just one other person waiting in line behind them, they felt more pressured and less confident and were less likely to use a pornographic magazine again or recommend it to others.

"It's almost like stage fright," said Arthur Green, assistant professor of psychology at Harvard, one of the study's authors. The study, co-authored with professor Alice Jones, was published in the journal Efficient Services Quarterly.

My comment: porn magazines are job-stealing pieces of garbage. They keep sex workers unemployed. Moreover, Gutenberg's invention, when used to print porn, is a machine of the devil.
