and, similarly...
could not this "porn addiction" be a similar flaw of a weak mind?
Exactly!! Weak minds, that's it. MUST rid society of WEAK MINDS -- get them out of the gene pool! You go first.
I'm not sure what you mean by a weak mind, and I'm not any expert on addictions, but I do think some people are more prone to addictions. And I guess one could be addicted to anything - it's just some addictions are more destructive than others.
The arguments are the same whenever the subject is brought up. Nobody's mind is ever changed.
Anything that people like can be addictive...absolutely anything. Porn, gambling, games, exercise, shopping, dieting, food, alcohol, cigarettes...anything. And addiction to ANYTHING can be destructive, or at the very least, disruptive.
The key is, as always, to keep one's perspective. Married couples and singles...males and females...all races and creeds...watch sexually explicit films. Hell, someone explain the difference between the average porn film and something like MONSTER'S BALL. The sex scenes in that were *almost* as explicit, and Halle Berry was given an Oscar.
If you watch porn for fun if you're single, or with your spouse to spice things up if you're married...just remember they're images on a screen, or on paper. They will never replace the actual touch of another person. Perspective.
