Wikipedia Littered with Pornographic Images
Wikipedia is one of the most widely-used reference sites on the Internet. It's an open-forum site in which information is added and updated by users. Anyone can contribute text or graphics--with little or no credibility. This fact results in users publishing inappropriate content, whether adult, mature, obscene or benign.

Pornography Addiction: It's like "Dating" Porn
Research reveals that pornography viewing releases adrenalin and dopamine into the blood stream. In essence, adrenalin gives a physical "rush" and dopamine acts as a pain killer. This combination is powerfully addicting. Drug and alcohol addicts say that a pornography addiction is as bad or worse than a substance addiction.

Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum Say They Will Enforce Obscenity Laws
Some of the leading GOP presidential candidates have committed to enforcing obscenity laws, if elected. Although promising, in practice, the overriding challenge is that there is no real legal regulation. Internet pornography is illegal but it is so ubiquitous that it is not usually prosecuted.

Access and Availability: Distribution Channels in the Role of Addiction
I have treated substance abusing adolescents on two continents: Europe and North America. While I worked for a private company that contracted me to work with substance abusing adolescents on an American Military installation in Germany, I would regularly see kids stop using marijuana and start using alcohol upon their arrival in Germany. Alcohol in the states was harder to come by due to regulation efforts for the 21 and under crowd. When teens arrived in Germany, they found marijuana was second to alcohol in availability with a legal drinking age of 16. In the Atlanta area where I currently practice, we have problems with cocaine and crystal meth. When living near the Belgian border, ecstasy was in plentiful supply but I hardly ever heard of cocaine use in my teen client population working abroad. Likewise, ecstasy use is not in plentiful supply for teens in Atlanta as it was in Belgium where 90% of the world’s Ecstasy is produced.

Women and Pornography, Silent and Widespread
“My story is different than most women’s. Yes, my life has been affected by pornography. However it isn’t a boyfriend or spouse that has an addiction. I am the addict.” (Source: Good Women Project)The typical pornography addict surfs the web for the latest images on their favorite site. They feed their unquenchable addiction and spend countless hours viewing sexually graphic images.According to United Families International blog, out of any given three pornography web sites visitors, one is a woman. So pornography is not just a man’s problem--17% of women would describe themselves as “addicted” to pornography. Women face the same challenges of addiction as men.One brave woman wrote about her addiction to pornography while on the road to recovery. Like other addicts, she was ashamed and disgusted and wrote about her challenge anonymously on goodwomenproject.com. Her addiction began with romance novels.She began reading love stories, which seemed innocent. But after the short-lived story was over, she was left intrigued and unsatisfied. She dabbled in erotic literature but it didn’t satisfy her appetite either. It was then that she began viewing hard-core pornography.After years of viewing, she realized she had an addiction. She said, “An addiction is a bad habit that you can’t stop on your own and your personal willpower isn’t enough to help you overcome.”She commented that addiction took the joy out of life. She worked less and less; as a result she didn’t have enough money to pay bills or buy food. She stayed up all night and slept during the day. She viewed pornography constantly. Her family noticed the change. She was “living in a world of darkness.”This woman watched a friend get arrested in a prostitution sting induced by pornography. She decided to change. She cut herself off from pornography. At 12-step meetings, and while working with a therapist and her ecclesiastical leader, she started to build a new life, free of pornography.She notes, “I quit cold-turkey. And I suffered withdrawals. I didn’t sleep for about 3 weeks. I couldn’t think. I didn’t want to eat. All I did for those three weeks was pray, educate myself on addiction and recovery, and do the bare minimum to survive physically. There were moments of despair and hope, pain and joy, fear and love, and darkness and light. In the end I was stronger, more knowledgeable, lighter and above-all else: clean.”Any sort of addiction stems from character weaknesses. We use things, such as pornography, as a coping mechanism to these problems. We want to lessen the pain and disappointment we feel in ourselves by numbing it with an addiction. This woman’s first-hand account is devastating but hopeful. And she is one of millions suffering from pornography addiction. She is recovering and has been clean for 10 months. There is hope for the addict.How Can Net Nanny Help?ContentWatch, makers of Net Nanny, will give a copy of its leading Internet Filter to any addict or addict’s family.

Pornography Makes Teen Girls More Likely to have Group Sex
No, it's not a pretty headline, but it seems to be reality. According to a Journal of Urban Health study, one in 13 teen girls said they engaged in "multi-person sex" (MPS). Researchers at Boston University's School of Public Health believe imitation of pornography is a leading cause.

Pornography is better than Congress?
Here's some food for thought. A recent poll reveals that 9 percent of Americans approve of the job that the U.S. Congress is doing. Thus, the approval rating is 9 percent. By stark contrast, pornography's approval rating is 30%.
That's a very sad state of the union!
