Comparing pornography to heroin, researchers on
Thursday called on Congress to finance studies on
"porn addiction" and launch a public health campaign
about the dangers.
"We're so afraid to talk about sex in our society
that we really give carte blanche to the people who
are producing this kind of material," said James B.
Weaver, a Virginia Tech professor who studies the
impact of pornography.
Internet pornography is corrupting children and
hooking adults into an addiction that threatens
their jobs and families, a panel of anti-porn
advocates told the hearing organized by Sen. Sam
Brownback, R-Kan., chairman of the Commerce
subcommittee on science.
Brownback, a father of five, said when he was a boy,
the typical kid's exposure was limited to occasional
peeks at dirty magazines illicitly obtained by a
buddy.
Now, he said, pornography seems pervasive. Children
run across it while researching homework on the
Internet. Vulgar ads arrive unexpectedly by e-mail.
Some of his middle-age male friends limit their time
alone in hotel rooms to avoid the temptation of
graphic pay-per-view movies, Brownback said.
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...

You're sitting on a copy of "Big'Uns" while you TYPE this, aren't you?

Yeah, anything that causes your brain
to run it's own hot bath of pleasurable
neurochemicals has got to be bad.
I propose we solve this problem by submitting
to experimental neurosurgery that removes
our abilities to create dopamine, norepinephrine
and all that other feel-good garbage.
While we're at it, anyone caught laughing
should be charged with posession of a

A research team in Europe just announced today
their entry in the race to create a drug that
prevents cocaine users from experiencing a high.
Nice to know there's a competition on.

They should invent a drug that prevents cocaine users from experiencing a high
from cocaine,
but allows them to experience a high from the
drug that is exactly the same as the high from
cocaine. I think they'd have something there.

No, they would have to kill the masochistic neurons that make you want to bow
and submit all responsibility for your life to the dictates of a large
imaginary being.
And then they would have to eradicate the chemicals that allow you to feel
superior for doing so.

Well gee, that'd pretty much off the Church of the SubG, too. If you

Ah the joys of pseudo-science.
Put somebody in a white coat and give them a clipboard and people will
believe anything they say.
Of course you could take everything they have said and replace 'porn
use' with any innocuous activity like 'eating right and exercising
regularly' and it would hold as much water. It's in the presumption
in the first place that images of naked people are bad and inherently
damaging and that people want to get away from them that the whole
'study' takes on any meaning at all.
Although personally I am stick to death of grossout porn spam. But
you probably don't need a 100,000 dollar study to figure that out.

I'll bet you were buck naked with a tumescent joy wand, had your ankles
behind your head and were grinning like Alfred E. Bush while you typed
that. Send a .jpg to purple, please.

If the .jpg made you guffaw, the .GIF will make you evacuate yourself
violently, like a lobster dropped into a boiling pot. I've seen it turn
hard-bitten Marines into puddles of gibbering goo. You may have seen
outtakes of it from John Carpenter's "The Thing." Imagine that with a
DICK, then knock back 3 sleeping pills with some scotch and prepare to
be hysterically blind for 2 days. GREAT FUN FOR NEWBIES, EIEIEIEIE!!!
