Porn is bad. It is not natural. Sex is natural. Selling sex is not natural. Selling is commerce. Commerce is manmade. Using your body in ways it wasn't intended to, multiple partners over short periods of time for extended periods of time, is a bodily hazard and unnatural. Mixing a bad biological decision with commerce is not natural. It similar, albeit more serious, to the portrayal of SUPERSIZE ME. Bad eating habbits and cheap food is very similar to the act of making pornography. Problem is that the Porn Industry has millions of vewers watching and that drives the actors and actresses to perpetuate their bad decision. Viewers take a small responsibility in their bad decision because free market commerce is built in such a way that supply and demand delagates responsibility of the product to the supplier and consumers. The freedom to voice and believe in your own oppinion doesn't negate basic funamental biologic and marketing truths. I have to equate porn with fast food because the parallels are there, although there are also social points of view that will taboo one and not the other.

Wah wah wah, cry us a river.
to the OP: keylogger. Slaving the HD to your box is a good idea, too.
the problem was not porn, the problem was you. many people watch (or read) porn every day, and dont get addicted. many people also drink alcohol, gamble, and smoke cigarettes. not everyone who does these thnigs become addicted. some people do. unlike being addicted to tobacco, gambling, or alcohol, porn acciction is not nearly as big of a problem as you think it is. many people use it every day, and are able to lead normal lives. whatever the case, the addiction is not the substance's fault. but YOURS. give the morality talk a rest, you're not converting anyone.I guess you guys will write me off as a religious wacko, but I know from experience how terrible porn is and what a grip it can have on you. I wish I had never gotten into porn when I was younger, it took me years to recover, and see the damage it had done

following that logic, yes we should.There are a lot of obese people out there, and obesity can be fatal. These people seem to be addicted to food. I suppose we'd best outlaw food immediately, because it can cause death.

If a young person gets into porn there's a good chance it will turn into an addiction
Many of society's problems are the result of abusing ours and other people's bodies, and the proper God-given context of sex and sexuality
millions of people all over the world become slaves to porn
