porn addiction again

2004-11-19 17:29:15.257716+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Here's a couple o' real winners: A bunch of pseudo-scientists are looking to get their pet projects funded again: Addiction to porn destroying lives, Senate told:

Mary Anne Layden, co-director of a sexual trauma program at the University of Pennsylvania, said pornography's effect on the brain mirrors addiction to heroin or crack cocaine. She told of one patient, a business executive, who arrived at his office at 9 a.m. each day, logged onto Internet porn sites, and didn't log off until 5 p.m.

Layden called for billboards and bus ads warning people to avoid pornography, strip clubs and prostitutes.

If three uptight bluenoses can get Fox fined $1.2 million, maybe a letter to your favorite (or at least representative) senator could help shut down these shysters.
