Every user of it regresses to the cellar by becoming a 'peeping tom', and that is just the beginnng of the slide downwards.

If you say so. "every?" I'd LOVE to see statistics on that, because it would be a big surprise to me.

Note that I'm not flaming you, I'm just pointing out that by using such a broad brush by saying "EVERY" does nothing but weaken your case, makes you look like a shill, and will do nothing to garner you any support for your cause.

Enjoy!

You're correct in that regard. Different people, for whatever reasons, are more or less susceptible to pornography addiction, just as some are more prone to alcoholism than others.

However, repeated, consistent exposure to pornography does have real, negative consequences, particularly for male/female relationships (e.g. marriage). Psychological studies have proven as much.

All users of porn are peeping toms by virtue of the fact that they are "looking through the cyber bedroom window" at other people having sex. There's nothing hard to understand about that.
Peeping tomism is peeping tomism.

You missed it. Peeping Tom is in quotes, indicating that it's figurative, not literal.
