Porn is Good For You (But Not in China)

Dan Drezner reports on an Australian study finding that pornography is good for your health. As Mr. Drezner observes: "The Understanding Pornography in Australia web site does not have any research results posted" so it's impossible to gauge the "accuracy" of its conclusions or of the methods employed.

In other news, The Technology Liberation Front notes:

[T]he Chinese government is going to get rid of all Internet pornography in the country by October 1st, in what it's calling a "people's war against electronic pornography." As if the futility of that wasn't funny enough, the name of the man tasked with leading the porno crusade, China's Information Industry Minister, is Wang Xudong.

Maybe someone should tell Wang about Australia's findings.
