magazines, and photographs that show or describe sex activities. 
I'm going to read some opinions about the effects of looking at 
or reading such sexual materials. As I read each one, please 
tell me if you think sexual materials do or do not have that 
effect: d. Sexual materials provide an outlet for bottled-up 
impulses
