I defend porn in the same way as I defend sugary drinks... it has a reason to exist, it's fine in "small doses", and having too much of it is bad for your healt

  > The good thing about both is, that noone is making you consume any of it. Oh man, I'm not particularly susceptible to porn, but I'm a bit conflicted on the sugary drinks side. And, generally, on the related "junk foods" (think Snickers bars, etc.). When I was in college, I used to eat a lot of those, and figured that I wasn't able to control myself whenever I had them in the house. If ate one, I would need to keep on eating. Even now, that I absolutely know better and have first-hand experience with how good I feel when I don't eat those, whenever I get a pack "because surely, I can control myself now, and they sure taste good" I'm bitterly disappointed. Sure, no one holds a gun to my head forcing me to eat another candy bar, but boy, is there no need for that. Now, I don't agree with sugary drink bans, nor even with the sugar tax some governments implement. But I do think that maybe some things are inherently dangerous, and perhaps we should make sure everyone knows it. Possibly, a label like "Warning! This may be highly addictive".

    Sugar+fat-based foods and GFCS-laced foods are basically addictive drugs and display most associated behaviours and reactions.
