Try an experiment, don't look at porn for 40days straight. As sensationalist as this article may be (haven't read, not bothered) porn has become one of our most loved.....vices(is that even the correct word?). I would say that most men who currently view porn on the net (which is to say, probably the majority) would not be able to stop viewing it for 40 days straight. Does this not tell you something?

Why not look at porn for 40 days? Just to prove I am not addicted? It is stupid/silly, like not eating meat for 40 days. Sure you can do it, but why? I don't have any sins I need to atone for.

  > It is stupid/silly, like not eating meat for 40 days. Sure you can do it, but why? You say you can do it, but really, could you? No porn for 40 days, as an exercise in self control. I think the majority of porn using men could not. There is an entire subreddit(/r/nofap) dedicated to this one task, and if you read you will see how difficult it really is.

    No fap is for people who don't want to masturbate. I don't need porn to get of, but I like looking at hot naked women. That doesn't make me an addict. That makes me a male.

I haven't watched porn in years so no need for me... I am just weirdly wired and find most porn stars unattractive

  You're just on one end of the bell curve, most guys with internet access look at porn (if they can), but that still leaves a small percentage that don't, for whatever reason.

Back in the 1700's, nobody had cars, but they (arguably) did just fine. And yet today, hardly a day goes by when you don't hop into your car and go somewhere! I bet most people who currently use cars for transportation (which is to say, probably the majority) would not be able to stop using cars for 40 days straight. Does this not tell you something?

  Bad example. It does tell you something important, namely people no longer live easy walking distance from things which are important to them: job, food, and friends. If you live in a city next to a grocery store and walking distance from your job you could probably go 40 days without driving. You may not even own a car. However, most people (in the US anyway) are not in this situation. Therefore, we drive more than we should.

    I probably have not used a car in well over 40 days, and by used I mean been in one (as I don't have a license). But I agree, I think it's a bad example, pretty hard to compare the usage of porn with the usage of the car (or any other form of transport).
