More women becoming hooked on internet porn

"Yeah. Pornography is defined as "the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement". By that definition, some people might even define sexy_cougar's avatar as "porno"... porno really is in the eye of the beholder.

I'd say that pornography isn't bad - there's only bad pornography"

I tend to think you're correct Luna!

It really is the user and what it does to them and how it affects their life. Everything can be taken to extremes as in fatty foods, perfumes, alcohol, etc.

Anything taken to extremes can be a detriment to ones life. All fun things should be taken in moderation and enjoyed.

I view pornography as I do most things - "To each their own". If I am not hurting other people by engaging in it, then I should be allowed to do it. Of course I am single, and I know that pornography can be a serious issue in relationships. Like phxgirl1 said, it should be taken in moderation as it can definitely become an addiction.

Personally, I do not feel that I am addicted myself, however I do watch pornography quite often. More often than not, I find that the main reason I watch porn is because I happen to be bored at a given moment in the day. Boredom sucks! I know that when I turn on a porno I'll all of a sudden become very ecstatic and that sensation is awesome!

Of course, for me, I have to remind myself of my motivations for viewing porn. I believe that the emotions that are brought to one's viewing of pornography will ultimately determine their need for such engagement. The reasoning for me watching porn in the hopes of simply getting a quick nut off is vastly different than another person who watches out of desperation to feel touched and wanted by someone (even if that someone is a fantasy). Neither case is necessarily "wrong", but I do believe that the resulting outcomes on the individual's psych will definitely be different. Moderation is key to a healthy appetite!
