Re: she's right.

Intersurfa,

You seem to acknowledge that using or indulging in some things (soda, tabacco, alcohol) in moderation does not equate to addiction. But then you seem to be saying that watching porn in moderation (or even once) equates to addiction. Seems inconsistent to me unless, I guess, porn is like heroin (I understand that is HIGHLY addictive). And, yet, I know many guys who admit to watching porn on occasion who are in committed relationships, would never think of sleeping with someone other than their wives or girlfriends, never let it affect their jobs, their finances, their relationships with their kids. They occasionally like to watch images of others screwing around. Like a lot of guys (and some women). It is neither a perversion, a sickness or an addiction. It is just something they do, like checking the scores of the ballgames.
