Internet porn is the new crack, Senate told
Forget health care, oil wars, and decent employment. “Internet pornography is the new crack cocaine, leading to addiction, misogyny, pedophilia, boob jobs and erectile dysfunction, according to clinicians and researchers testifying before a Senate committee Thursday.”
An individual associated with the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (!!) says
Pornography really does, unlike other addictions, biologically cause direct release of the most perfect addictive substance….That is, it causes masturbation, which causes release of the naturally occurring opioids…[emphasis mine]
Another salient quote from the article:
Judith Reisman of the California Protective Parents Association suggested that more study of “erototoxins” could show how pornography is not speech-protected under the First Amendment.
