America Is Addicted to Porn

This graphic comes from Buzz Feed - it was shared by some friends on Facebook. Since 72% of the visitors to porn sites are men, this is a male issue.

I don't go so far as to say that all porn is horrible and it must be banned - that's too slippery of a slope for me. And the reality is, as is true in all addictions, that a lot of people can view porn from time to time and it causes no problems in their lives or relationships - and some couples like to view porn together.

But the average age of first exposure now is 11 years old - and again, these are mostly boys. My exposure to Playboy as a young teen resulted in objectification of women, so I can't imagine what hardcore pornography is doing to these young men.
