Pornography should also be taken seriously and in my opinion, a more serious problem. | ||

Why? I haven't heard any credible accounts of "pornography psychosis." Moral panic narratives about pornography have become popular in recent years, but though many critiques of mainstream pornography are valid (that it's pervasively misogynistic, for example), pornography hasn't actually been linked to any concrete harms. "Pornography addiction," the poster child for anti-porn narratives, is not recognized as a condition by any major medical organization, and self-reported pornography addiction correlates much more strongly with conservative views on sexuality than with actual quantity of pornography consumed. |
