You know, I've watched porn habitually for years. Probably to the point of becoming an addict. I recently quit cold turkey after having one of those "WTF am I doing?" epiphanies and realizing the damage it was doing. I've been porn-free for a month now and feel vastly better about myself.
I'm not going to go on a moral rant about how online porn is evil. If you can handle it, I don't think it is. But a lot of guys are struggling with it. There's also a growing body of evidence that suggests there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
As for the porn stars, there's been a lot of insider insights that suggest it's definitely not a glamorous or even lucrative career. A lot of the women, and men too, come from abused backgrounds. Drug abuse is rampant and there's still a fairly lax attitude towards STDs. Apparently the suicide rate is quite high. Oddly I've known this for years but managed to tune it out for a long time. It's a difficult habit to justify when I should just be with real women instead.
