This is correct. An addict can lose the ability to love or feel love.

Pornography addiction surely played a role.

There are lots of guys who look at porn who don't try to have sex with kids.

I'm just saying, I think there are deeper-seeded issues at play than just porn.

Child sex predators pre-date online porn

Of course, but for most of these guys Pornography is a “gateway drug”.

Data: Most have seen it, many seek it out. Its usage is increasing over time.

10/22/20 10:41am

Oh I'm aware of the research & stats. The assumption it's normal and harmless is way off base however.

Soupie

10/22/20 10:43am

Statistically, if the majority of the population see it, it is normal.
