> Males report having sexual fantasies earlier in development (average age of onset 11.5 years)

I find that figure to be surprisingly high. My first dream that was definitely sexual was when I was 7 going on 8, in the second grade.

> today’s Internet pornography scene, where zero is left to the imagination.

I disagree. The primary psychological goal of porno seems to be for the viewer to imagine one of the actors as themselves, and/or the other actor(s) as those the viewer knows or sees. The amount of clothing, the level of visual detail, and the nature of the sexual acts performed are merely to cater to the viewer's tastes.
