Why Don’t We See PR Messages Regarding Dangers of Porn Addiction?
Question by nicesinging1: Why don’t we see PR messages regarding dangers of porn addiction?
Something doesn’t seem right to me. I know there are substantial number of people who are addicted to porn and get their life ruined by it. They have told me porn addiction is as bad as drug or alcohol addiction if not worse.

How do you expect people to stay away from it unless they know its harmful side? Does the federal government consider porn addiction dangerous at all?
