You don't think the millions of hours of widely available online porno has any impact on our culture or how people view sex? It's incredibly ignorant to think that "evangelical Christians" are the only ones opposed to porn

> You don't think the millions of hours of widely available online porno has any impact on our culture or how people view sex? No, hence why I didn't say that. > It's incredibly ignorant to think that "evangelical Christians" are the only ones opposed to porn Lots of people are opposed to porn. The idea of porn addiction, OTOH, is very strongly associated with religiosity in general, and certain socially consevative Christian subcultures in particular. Being opposed to a thing and thinking that association with it fits in an addiction model aren't the same thing.

  The WHO recognizes "porn addiction" so its not some conspiracy theory. Not that I trust the WHO. Looks like porn is available for sale, possession, and production in almost all Christian majority nations, but not Islamic ones - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_laws_by_region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_laws_by_region

    >>so its not some conspiracy theory. I can not think of legitimate organization that is more filled with conspiracy theory than the UN.. so citing "well this UN organization says it so it can be conspiracy" is very ironic

    > The WHO recognizes "porn addiction" so it’s not some conspiracy theory. Not that I trust the WHO. Who are you to say this? Who? WHO? You don’t trust WHO but do trust them when they support your pre-conceived solution? You really think you won’t get fooled again?

      Using the WHO was just an example. Porn addiction is recognized by many "experts". I don't doubt you can be addicted to anything: video games, porn, exercise, sex, whatever. Now, treating it like a disease akin to drug addiction, that's something I don't understand.

You've raised a question and assumed what the answer is. Has society been affected by accessible porn? If so, to what degree? Of the ways it was affected, which were positive and which were negative? On the whole, is it harmful? They're good questions but I doubt the answers are simple.

  Has it been studied? Can you ask rhetorical questions if we genuinely don’t have studies for the answers?
