Honestly, like all addictions, it starts having an impact when you start depending upon it for pleasure and substitute parts of your life with it. That tends to happen when your life in general is not working well, or you're caught in situations of chronic stress and unhappiness. So the real long term strategy here would be to elevate the general quality of our lives and our interrelationships with each other, which would make porn pretty much a mildly amusing curiosity at worst. But when endemic stress predominates in society, good luck trying to prevent people from falling into one addiction or another. It's like plugging a boat made of Swiss cheese.
- dqpb 9y agoThe article is not about addiction
- madeofpalk 9y agoIn fact, the article explicitly points out there's no scientific evidence for "porn addiction" existing in the first place.
- dragonwriter 9y agoWell, the article states that the claim advanced by one of its subjects that there is no such evidence is a fact. There is, however, considerable evidence that compulsive pornography use and other compulsive sexual behaviors, at a minimum, have many addiction-like features, though there is considerable debate about both the criteria to consider non-substance-use compulsive behavior as addiction and how particular compulsions fit any proposed criteria. Portraying the state of the science as “no scientific evidence of pornography addiction” is both strictly false and substantively misleading.
- wantmore 9y agoWho says porn is not addicting? I want to watch porn every day even in normal sex life. I used to get excited by bootlegged black and white paper books. The it moved on to static images at the beginning of internet. Now with broadband I only watch clips. By the the clip is over I am over. You know what I mean.
