If I had to guess at a reason, it is presumably because cohorts of socially undeveloped adult men are sexually sedated by porn and are less motivated to rape.

I'm not a psychologist but some of these extrapolations seem insane to me.
> Using Czech police records, American and Czech researchers compared rape rates in the Czech Republic for the 17 years before porn was legalized with rates during the 18 years after. Rapes decreased from 800 a year to 500. More porn, less rape.
> In addition, the legalization of porn was associated with a decrease in another despicable sex crime, child sexual abuse. Under Communism, arrests for child sex abuse averaged 2,000 a year. After porn became legal, the figure dropped by more than half to fewer than 1,000. More porn, fewer sex crimes.
The country's entire foundation shifted from underneath it; an empire collapsed around it. How could they possibly isolate the legalisation of pornography specifically as the cause of decreased rape? Why not the legalisation of private enterprise? Is it not feasible that living in a repressive, controlled, surveilled society caused men unrest?
Perhaps the studies cited went into more detail, but "Lots of rape in 1985, less rape in 2005. Porn was legalised between then, ergo porn caused this." does NOT convince me.

This is useless as the Brit will just use VPN's/Tor or anything else connected to US servers where the main language interface will be 100% the same. This will just give free money to US services and probably generate a big hole in the UK economy. I remind you all that porn does far more money than tons of services. They were pioneers on online commerce with credit cards.
People can tell otherwise, but these services are widely used by the population in disguise, from both women and men.
