<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><font size="3">If the harm done by pornography and the social threat it </font><span style="font-size: medium;">represents are so clear and obvious, then why are the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">arguments
made against it so uniformly bad? In this </span><span style="font-size: medium;">lecture, Religious Studies professor and sociologist Doug </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Cowan explores the social construction of the porn threat. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">And
what he says may surprise you. The size of the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">pornography industry, for example, is regularly over-</span><span style="font-size: medium;">estimated by at least an order of magnitude. There is little or no evidence
for anything called “porn addiction.” And the evidence for the variety of harm narratives by which alarm over pornography is raised is thin at best. That is, the antiporn crusade, whether religious or secular, looks like other later modern moral panics, which
raises the question: Why is that we think the way we do?</span></p>
