The key word here is not "opiods," which is intended to scare the feeble-minded. Rather, one should focus on "endogenous." In other words, produced internally. You know, like endorphins? Because that is what we're talking about here.
Basically, this pseudo-science mumbo-jumbo is saying that to some people, looking at porn makes them feel good.
And it took a government panel to find that out.

I support this group on a lot of issues but I'm not with them on this hyperbole.
I would like to bitch though that as to why so many "regular" movies seem to have been made by queers and there is no gaydar label.
I rented one last nite with Colin Farrell (A Home at the End of the World) and it was barf time homoerotica spitswap and worse.
I like my erotica old fashioned and hetero thank you.
My wife has been on Blockbuster's ass all day.
Homos are the new blacks in Hollywood storyline social engineering ....I get sick of it.
Pleasure releases endorphins in the brain, and to some degree parallel the chemical reactions that characterize illegal drug addiction. All pleasure. That includes writing a good weekly report to your boss, gettin' down with the significant other, consuming a juicy steak, all pleasure. Since we all experience pleasure from one thing or another at sometime in our lives, and since the above biochemical statements made above are generally accepted medical fact, then we are all guilty of having "drug-like" behavior in our brains and since some drugs are illegal the laws regarding unreasonable search and seizure should be suspended because everyone is guilty. The perfect thoughtcrime.
"Burned in your brain forever." Sounds like the movie "Videodrome."
A how to manual for sex crimes? I can't believe people are wasting the governments time with this crap. Looking at pictures doesn't cause sane people to commit crime. You don't need research to confirm that. People who are sex addicts (and potential sex addicts) need therapy, not a government body to protect them. Its something that many individuals struggle with and overcome WITH THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
Dept of Justice Study Shows Rape Down [year 2000]
Statistics recently released by the US Justice Department show that the number of rapes, attempted rapes and sexual assaults declined substantially last year.
Since 1993, rapes have declined by 60%; attempted rapes by 71.4%; and sexual assaults by 37.5%, according to NCVS figures.
Comments?
it's wierd--someone from the Center for Cognitive Therapy doesn't seem to realize that there is a difference between the mind and the brain. there are no images in the brain, burned there or otherwise. dissect a brain and you won't find images, just nerve cells, etc.
(the images would be in the mind)
and what research does she cite that proves that the images are there FOREVER?
these people are pushing a moral agenda under the guise of psychiatry.
Porn is probably worse.
Goodbye freedom and liberty.
Hello Taliban.
When I first read the headline, I thought it said "Pork".
Moral Absolutes Etc. Ping List -
Here we go, on a journey to find out what are the limits of set in stone morality - are there absolute limits to right and wrong, moral and immoral behavior? Are such limits sectarian in nature? Should religious or spiritual absolutes be the guide to laws or not? If not, where do guidelines for right and wrong come from?
(I haven't read the article yet, will later this evening.)
One thing for sure, FR has a bunch of rabid pornography supporters. Gird your figurative loins, roll up your figurative sleeves, and have at'em.
Did the founders of this country envision naked titty dancing and the most graphic of graphic sexually explicit pornagraphy being protected under the label of "freedom of speech"? If not, why not?
Let me know if anyone wants on/off the Moral Absolutes Ping List.
Porn ping.
Security is like Heroin in a nation.
Well, better legalize hookers... 'cause porn will kill ya.
Yawn. More steaming gutter science bullcrap 'designed' to fool the rubes and keep them coming in the tent.
