Speaking of statistics:
Porn Sex vs Real Sex: The Differences Explained With Food
Probably NSFW.
So is your reason for libertarianism that you don't want to give up porn or something? Irrelevant to the topic at hand.
On that subject, worth noting Libertarians stand opposed to the founders on the issue. After all, the founders banned pornography and even Jefferson was literally in favor of chopping off the genitals of homosexuals as punishment for their sexuality.
Better stop hiding behind the Constitution written by people who would likely ban your habits and just admit you're a hedonist libertine.
I'm sure the officers in question and their superiors will be held to account.
Only 75 percent?
