There is evidence that that the reversal of the prohibition of pornography in some societies where it was previously proscribed led to lower rates of rape <ref>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101130111326.htm</ref>, due to pornography acting as a release valve for sexual frustration. | ||
Robust evidence also suggests that making prostitution legal or more widely available leads to lower rates of sexual violence towards women and prostitutes, with this finding being replicated in various countries such as the Netherlands,<ref>https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/pol.20150299</ref>the United States,<ref>https://www.nber.org/papers/w20281.pdf</ref><ref>https://thinkprogress.org/craigslist-erotic-services-platform-3eab46092717/</ref> and Australia.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2064544</ref>Thus, it is clear that male sexual deprivation is one of the main causative factors of rape, but evidence suggests that typically only violent, psychopathic men will respond to this deprivation by actually committing acts of rape,<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229075046_Life-Course_Persistent_Offenders_and_the_Propensity_to_Commit_Sexual_Assault</ref> although a study in New York found the majority of men who frequent prostitutes reported that they may resort to rape if the indoor brothels they visited were made illegal in the future.<ref>http://www.micaelasviatschi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/sex_crimeNYC.pdf</ref> | |||
21st century feminism has also brought several confusing magnifiers of the term ''rape''. The invention of camera phones has brought the inception of the nakie, nelfie (naked selfies) or sexfie (sex selfie), or buttfie or belfie (nude butt selfie) or pelfie (a pussy or penis selfie), which has resulted in kids getting arrested for inappropriate pics of themselves while underage, thus necessitating the term "self-rape". | 21st century feminism has also brought several confusing magnifiers of the term ''rape''.
