After reading the article you provided, I took a look around to find some articles about what young men were watching as opposed to women. Here are two of those articles:

What was really odd is that I couldn't find the answer to my question, just who is watching all this snuff porn like the CSI's and Criminal Minds? It obviously has a steady following or we couldn't have so many of these programs.
