Naomi Wolf, she of the al-Gore brown suits & sensitive male advice. A lefty feminist writing for Al Jazeera, a fascist mouthpiece that promotes the worst of Islam, including the fact that, to Muzzies, women are lower than whale $h!t. It's so symmetrical.

It’s been around in different forms for thousands of years. Look at India and their Kama Sutra images as an example. The internet just makes it easier to view it.

I'm not a girl, but these people are crazy.

Pornography has nothing on Free Republic in terms of a dopamine rush.

Cheers!

Some few years ago The New York Post did a study on porno and found 22% of people who view it are women.

I am the political enemy of the author, the mortal enemy of the publisher's core demographic...
...and I love the article. Weird.

This is some silly sh!t supported only by conjecture.

There is no such peer reviewed science that even comes close to showing cause-effect.

Pornography is evil and destructive (to people, families, marriages and the culture). (so is Al Jazeera)

We conservatives long for the good old days..when men were men..

Today, Weiner Tweets pics of his johnson..Back in the day, Wilbur Mills gets a load on, has a traffic accident while driving drunk, with his mistress, an Argentinian stripper stage-named Fannie Foxe, in the car with him..panics..jumps OUT of the car, and INTO the nearby Tidal Basin...

Best of all, he did NOT resign from Congress..indeed, kept on as chairman of Ways & Means...the most important committee in the House, and..wait for it.....was actually RE-ELECTED to the House a few months later..

True, but I think Ms. Wolf has a point. It is so available, without stigma, without the rest of the world (other than your ISP) knowing about it, that it is being consumed (probably, roughly) at 100 times the per-capita rate it was before.

That can't be good - sex is a dopamine-releasing process. And it ties in with what friends of mine are saying behind closed doors.

Nonsense. Utter sexual anarchy is perfectly healthy. Ask any leftist.

Sounds like we need the gubmint to step in and regulate this - it’s addictive, and we can’t have that. Oh, No....it’s probably going to be called a mental illness, public health threat...in no time, libs will be requiring health insurance to cover treatment of this...

I'm surprised she didn't blame Bush for this. LOL

I think there is a certain age (I dont know what it is maybe 30 something) where people live an abundance of their lives via technology/internet/facebook/twitter/text message and for some reason they might to the things referred to in this article. As for porn addiction, having so much of it available online for free can be very controlling and cause one to develop some habitual holes they may have a real trouble digging out of (a long time ago some one called this sin). Another part of me thinks that its not so much a porn addiction but rather so many have a need to just be constantly entertained. Perhaps this explains why you see people constantly yapping on their cell phones about literally nothing or staring obsessively at their i-phones or watching huge hours of television. The idea of just walking without the entertainment or doing a little thing called intropection just isn't something people do anymore and maybe they should.

I do not look at it. I would suspect that a person that frequently looks at it has psychological problems.

Again, Naomi?

Years ago she did this same routine in NY Magazine
http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/trends/n_9437/

It gave me the creeps. The way she described her Orthodox Jewish friend was disrespectful and unseemly. But I suppose for a socialist/commie Naomi was as compassionate and understand as all get-out. For someone totally kalshebekalim.

Some powerful men have long been sexually voracious; unlike today, though, they were far more discreet and generally used much better judgment in order to cover their tracks.

I know I've always been discreet.

Hey, Tiger! Wait up.
