The more serious problem with these studies is that the definition of sexual assault is often unclear and constantly changing. What's classified as sexual assault by some definitions would be considered by others to be "boys being a bit too pushy because they don't know any better".

The first myth addressed by makelovenotporn.com (mentioned in the article) regards "facials". I wonder how much men's desire to do this comes from watching porn. Any grecian urns with men "dropping loads"?
