Yep, they are blaming Porn -
Is pornography driving men crazy?
Is pornography driving men crazy?
By Naomi Wolf
It is hard to ignore how many highly visible men in recent years (indeed, months) have behaved in sexually self-destructive ways. Some powerful men have long been sexually voracious; unlike today, though, they were far more discreet and generally used much better judgment in order to cover their tracks.
--snip--
We now know that porn delivers rewards to the male brain in the form of a short-term dopamine boost, which, for an hour or two afterwards, lifts men’s mood and makes them feel good in general. The neural circuitry is identical to that for other addictive triggers, such as gambling or cocaine.
The addictive potential is also identical: just as gamblers and cocaine users can become compulsive, needing to gamble or snort more and more to get the same dopamine boost, so can men consuming pornography become hooked. As with these other reward triggers, after the dopamine burst wears off, the consumer feels a letdown – irritable, anxious, and longing for the next fix. (There is some new evidence, uncovered by Jim Pfaus at Concordia University in Canada, that desensitization may be affecting women consumers of pornography as well.)
They say technology slows down for no one. I know it outruns my wallet. I figure its because my wallet isn't light enough yet.

Well they have to blame someone or something so why not blame porno.

This reminds me of an old cartoon in Penthouse, about 30 years ago. It had a drawing of a mother dinosaur walking with a child dinosaur. The caption read. "Don't do that or you will become extinct."
Conservatives: "If the facts disagree with our opinion, ignore the facts -- or at least misrepresent them."

after the dopamine burst wears off, the consumer feels a letdown – irritable, anxious, and longing for the next fix - he looks at his wife for a minute or two and goes back on line
Imagine a world where dogs took bad owners to the pound...
