   "People who grew in porno-free societies (or in societies that were
   porno free like the small towns in the U.S. 30 years ago) still
   consume porno, with great hunger..."

That's because, although they have been free of "pornography", they
have not been free of an dominant/submissive attitude toward women,
assuming that the pornography which they hunger for is
dominant/submissive.

I believe that anyone in their right mind would prefer a depiction of
love over a depiction of dominance and submission.
