Conservative U.K. tabloid The Daily Mail this week revived the pseudo-medical concept of Pornography-Induced Erectile Dysfunction (PIED) in a porn panic piece, which used as its source statements by a British orthopedic surgeon.
British tabloid the Daily Mail published this morning a report implying a direct connection between new on-set guidelines by “the porn industry” and the current Ron Jeremy sexual abuse trial in Los Angeles, a connection that is not supported by any facts.
Amidst increasing calls for government intervention on freedom of online expression, right-wing U.K. tabloid The Daily Mail continued their attack on the adult industry and sex workers with a stigmatizing report using blatantly classist and stigmatizing language.
