Forums - General - Internet is for porn

It is not all bad a couple of years ago I had a Sex therapist in one of my psychology courses say it is believed that prostitution and spousal cheating has fallen due to the increased availability of porn. This is only a correlation, but I think it is worse to cheat on your partener than it is to view porn when they will not give you some.

I agree it isn't quite as bad, but some people probably consistently use it whether their wife gives them some or not.

Certainly, any addiction can be bad for a person no matter what it is. Hell I bet some of the biggest posters on this forum are addicted to it. Addiction only becomes a problem when it is negatively influencing your life. If the porn has no real negative influences than I see know problem, when it creates problems than it is certainly a bad thing.



"42.7% of internet users view porn." Undertracked......

Khuutra seems to be online all the time and sometimes he says he's going to take a "nap". What could that mean?

Probably that his wife is yelling at him and threatening divorce because he will not stop posting.

Also a quick wank might also be the answer.

"17% of women say they are addicted to porn"

"Over 200,000 Americans are porn addicts"

Those two statements don't add up.

I think that its saying 17% of women who watch porn are addicted,  so 17% of the 28% that watch porn are addicts.

nice!  only 10h50m...not an addict!


You beat me to it! lol

Jokes aside, this is an interesting article but 30,000 a second seems very low.

The porn addicts definition they give it watching at least 11 hours of porn a week.

But in a survey asking women simply if you struggle with addiction, 17% of those surveyed said yes. The survey sample could be 1000 for all we know, the source might be at the bottom of the article but I don't feel like looking.

Still doesn't add up, they say that 102 million people view porn.  They then say 28% of porn viewers are women.  That's like ~28,000,000 women who watch porn.  If 17% of these struggle with addiction, that would be ~4,750,000 women alone who struggle with addiction to porn, yet there are only 200,000 males and females who are actually addicted?

Something is clearly wrong with their definition of addict when the difference between actual addicts and number of people who think they struggle with addiction is that far off.
