A lot.

Laziness comes to mind. Do a porn user have anything else better to do? If the answer is no, well, that does say something about that person. Porn does not make you a better person. It is a waste of time.

Yet -- it is very addictive. The opium den of our time.

Multiply that "laziness" times a few tens of millions, and we have a social problem.

Sloth does kill societies. Societies where basic human things such as, in stat case the sexual drive, get fulfilled too easy, on the cheap, are societies that regress.

Porn is individually a waste, individually harmful for many reasons, and socially a danger -- a harm.

Wow! I leave for an hour and the questions grow and grow:

1) This is not legislation or government regulation. We will leave that to other groups. Our interest is civil litigation.

2) This is all about a product that causes harm to individuals. It’s actually pretty akin to a tobacco lawsuit.

3) What’s wrong with porn? You may not know this but there are numerous scientific studies that affirm the harmful and addictive nature of porn. Essentially, the harm to the brain is very close to that of heroin... release chemicals within in the brain.

More to follow.

It depicts sexual activity. Nothing wrong with sexuality but a lot of people feel the constant depiction of it devalues and transvalueizes the most intimate aspects of a union between a man and a woman. Such people are not necessarily prudes.
