Well, given the terminology used, I guess I'd say I approach it like any other drug. If you don't want it, don't use it. Leave everyone else to make their own decisions.

LOL but its easier to turn away from porn more than drugs though, once you start. drugs has chemical control over you. porn is just imagery. kinda pathetic to be controlled by porn lol. leave the house like. go for a walk. make a sandwich or something. just stop watching it.

It's disgusting, immoral and should not even exist.
I feel like pornograpy isn't a new drug but rather an old one that's been done for a long time
Society can't actively stop people from watching porn bc who are they to control the actions of an individual
Unless it's child porn then absolutely no; that's vile

lmao porn does effect the brain exactly like a drug. porn addiction is real and quitting is a fkn *****. i 'quit' porn in june 2015 and to this day i am still trying to quit. quitting has proven more difficult than getting my degree. concerning thing is i only watched it 2/3 x a week and never thought i was addicted to it. but the reason i didn't think i was addicted was simple cos i never tried to quit
porn is absolutely disgusting and damaging to the mind and heart

You know how women can get control over a dude with sex? Similar idea, the orgasm is a pretty wild dopamine high.

Probably still easy to leave for most than hard drugs but not for everybody.
It most diffinetly is a drug it works the same way as a drug you crave more of it and the longer you are without it the more you feel like you need it. If it's hard to quit then it obviously is a drug...

What’s the problem with pornography? I mean yeah young people can go into the bedroom for the first time expecting their other half to perform like pornstars but other than that what harm does it do? I’ve been watching porn from no age and here I am today...

You can't really compare pornography to drugs because unlike drugs, pornography does not physically abuse the chemistry of your brain. A pornographic addiction is more like an indulgent hobby, and can be compared to things such as video games or t.v.
If I was you, I wouldn't take pornography so seriously.
Absolutely. It's degenerate, dangerous, and it's turning young men into weak bugmen with increasingly disgusting sexual tastes.

Reminder that the first thing Israel did when they invaded Palestine is broadcast porn over satellite TVs.
Drug:
1. a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.
2. a substance taken for its narcotic or stimulant effects, often illegally.

No, it's not drug. Should we fight it? I get why ppl oppose it. Although the false ideals porn shows can be overcome with education and experience. Ppl enjoy it, so why not? I haven't read any research on porn though. I feel most ppl will watch porn at some point in their life.

I see it as more of a disease tbh. It slowly builds into you and then it completely corrupts your mind, eyes, ears, heart and your tongue. It desensitizes your eyes. Your tongue may end up being loose in making derogatory sexual remarks because you have a dirty mind. There's really no benefits in this multi-billion dollar industry. IMO I don't think any parent would be proud seeing their son or daughter doing it.

Lastly, who really knows what goes on behind the scenes? I remember watching a video on AJ+ about refugees (from the Middle East) in Germany being persuaded into porn to earn money and the demand for refugee porn is fairly high and I'm going to take a wild guess and say this demand came from people with sick corrupted minds.

Absoluely.

I am trying to quit porn because it can mess you up...
