I am sorry but that is a hasty conclusion to say that the moral of the story is that porn ruined this otherwise fine and descent man. What you suggest is that this man was upstanding, with no prior problems, until evil porn got ahold of him and corrupted him. Well this story does not address all the issues. Was this man always with drawn and incapable of reciprocating love (even before porn)? Were there any past traumatic events in his life? Was there any issues with the way women treated him (were the women he picked simply incapable with him thereby driving him away? There are so many more questions I could ask. To say that you know the sole cause of his problem is very presumptuous, and a gross oversimplification of what probably is a much more complex situation. The porn could have been the symptom of a much deeper problem instead of being the problem. Some people run from there problems with drugs, some with alcohol, some with sex. You don't solve the problem by getting rid of their escape by the help of the nanny state, you solve the problem by finding and fixing the root cause.

It would be very interesting if people could discuss topics like these without using libertarian code words.

But I guess that's too much to hope for.
