DRAFT ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL AND PORNOGRAPHY Pornography is addictive, and neuroscientists are beginning to map the biological substrate of this addiction. Desensitized to their type of pornography Higher tolerance for abnormal sexuality, including rape, sexual aggression, and sexual promiscuity. Produces stronger notions of women as commodities or as "sex objects." Greater sexual permissiveness, out-of-wedlock births and STDs. Child-sex offenders are more likely to view pornography regularly or to be involved in its distribution.
60
DRAFT ONLY Porn-culture epidemic THE FAMILY AND PORNOGRAPHY Married men feel less satisfied and less emotionally attached to their wives. Wives notice and are deeply upset by the difference. Pornography use is a pathway to infidelity and divorce. Among couples affected by one spouse's addiction, two-thirds experience a loss of interest in sexual intercourse. Both spouses perceive pornography viewing as tantamount to infidelity. Pornography viewing leads to a loss of interest in good family relations.
