Pornography Addiction Poll Results

Post by _Droopy »

Yes, created by the Church/religion to control/limit behavior. 10%
Yes, created/maintained by society as a form of social control. 0%
No, porn addiction is real and pervasive among users. 20%
No, addiction is real, but rare among all porn users. 70%
Pornography cannot be addictive.


Interesting that the vast majority believe that pornography addiction is real, but rare among users. Why? Is there any serious empirical evidence supporting this claim?

Note: I'd love to know who it was here who thinks the concept of porn addiction was created by the Church (sort of like George Bush and the CIA created AIDS) to control/limit behavior, but I'll let that pass as an unfulfilled wish.
