However, the idea that porn is an addiction rather than a compulsion is lacking. The DSM certainly doesn't list it as such, so those who claim it is and run with it certainly aren't being candid with the facts. The article conveniently excludes the data that shows moderate use of porn has no negative effects, so one has to wonder how objective stories like this are. I think people do need to know there is at least the possibility of negative personal effects with overuse, but the reality is that some people are just inclined towards addictions and compulsions while others are not. Not everyone who drinks becomes an alcoholic, but some will. Not everyone who gambles will loose everything they have, but some will. It's pretty disingenuous to underscore the minority of those who will have problems with something while ignoring the majority who won't. I look at it the same as drugs and other things. Maybe some people have just figured out that life sucks and their additions and/or compulsions are preferable. The idea that everyone in that situation wants out is not a good one. I tend to stay out of issues that are about what people do with their own bag of meat. If it's a big enough problem, help should be available to those who want it. Beyond that what someone else does with their own body is none of my business.

Also remember this list is about those who want to suppress by force of law. Boycotting is a remedy that I have no issues with so long as people aren't channeling bigotries or bigots to make their case.
