Umm, Can That Possibly Be Right?

Daniel Drezner posts on an Australian study touting the benefits of moderate pornography viewing. From the report:

Dr McKee said porn users reported it had taught them "to be more relaxed about their sexuality" and marriages were healthier, while porn made people think about another person's pleasure and made them less judgmental about body shapes.

Emphasis added. Now, this strikes me as entirely ass-backward. Watching a bunch of nubile, peroxide-blonde, surgically-enhanced nymphs reenact the Kama Sutra is supposed to make men less judgmental regarding the bodies of ordinary women? Sure, porn has its Ron Jeremys, but they're vastly outnumbered by a sea of interchangeable orgasming fillies, any one of whom could have her picture lodged in the dictionary next to the definition of "unrealistic body image".

And what exactly about face shots and golden showers supposed to make people "think about another person's pleasure"?
