THE INDIVIDUAL AND PORNOGRAPHY
• Pornography is addictive, and neuroscientists are beginning to map the biological substrate of this addiction.
• Desensitized to their type of pornography • Higher tolerance for abnormal sexuality, including rape,
sexual aggression, and sexual promiscuity. • Produces stronger notions of women as commodities or
as "sex objects." • Greater sexual permissiveness, out-of-wedlock births and
STDs. • Child-sex offenders are more likely to view pornography
regularly or to be involved in its distribution.

Porn-culture epidemic
THE FAMILY AND PORNOGRAPHY •Married men feel less satisfied and less emotionally attached to their wives. Wives notice and are deeply upset by the difference. •Pornography use is a pathway to infidelity and divorce.•Among couples affected by one spouse's addiction, two-thirds experience a loss of interest in sexual intercourse. •Both spouses perceive pornography viewing as tantamount to infidelity. •Pornography viewing leads to a loss of interest in good family relations.
