A few buts... Is it really porn or masturbation that accompanies porn watching releases "pressure" that might cause this. Also the kids who aren't allowed to watch porn might also be the one who are told masturbation is bad. Another factor The 60s were when social norms became relatively more liberal and reliable contraception became popularly available. So maybe people just weren't sexually frustrated that much? A good study would be one that compares the pre-internet decades and post-internet years. Since the internet came into being after the sexual revolution but made porn much more accessible. I agree!

With rape statistics it's easy to argue that it could be the report rate going down, or some other factor. But it's hard to see how to argue that this isn't major counter-evidence to the idea that porn causes rape.

I believe that scores of communities (as well as their states) have banned such material in the past. (Maybe some still do, leaving mail order pornographers perplexed.
