Internet Porn: Worse than Crack?

Internet pornography is the new crack cocaine, leading to addiction, misogyny, pedophilia, boob jobs and erectile dysfunction, according to clinicians and researchers testifying before a Senate committee Thursday.

Of course 'clinicians and researchers' are going to say something like that. After all, how else are they going to get all the government grants to more research, and to find 'cures'? That's no different from any of the other 'problems' that the 'Ivory Tower' people get concerned about.

Do you REALLY think that some one working with the '*****' (insert your favorite disadvantaged class here) want all of them to suddenly disappear, and not need 'help'? If they did, there sure would be a lot of folks out of jobs.

The 'shrinks' are even worse, as they keep inventing new 'mental problems' so they can 'cure/treat' them.

And I thought that porn was exempt from the 'everything in moderation' rule...I guess I was wrong

I dunno, i think it can be addictive in different ways for different people. for some it might have a negative effect on them and some a positive. just my opinion though...

I think they just wanted to look at porn all day, thats reason they did the entire study. they re the porn addicts if you ask me. But they need more research money to pay the monthly fees of the porn sites. lol

Porn is kinda weird. First you look at it, right, and you feel all happy and all. Then all of a sudden you get bored, and don't want it anymore. Some time later, you feel like you need another "fix" of it again.

Yep, come to think of it, it is very much like a drug. Why didn't I notice this before???

It's more of a "gateway" drug. It leads to lonely, sweaty nights at home, and can cause you to desire being suspended from the ceiling from hooks.
