The Ted Talk video on the site Hammer posted talked about there being no control group which makes studies difficult, but really the difference is between those who are prone to addiction and those who are not.

Just because I do something every day, doesn't make it an addiction. I brush my teeth every day, is that an addiction? Just because something is a habit, doesn't make it an addiction. And some people are just more prone than others to form an addiction.

Ask yourself, Roy. Do you feel anxiety when you can't brush your teeth? Can you stop any time you want?

Maybe if you understand what addiction is you won't have so many questions. :noidea:
 
Having a teen daughter, I do worry if all boys are going to think all girls are 3 hole sluts that want a train run on them by all their buddies... but I can only seriously impact one side of the equation. I can slightly influence the other by looking like a bad motherfucker when one of these little shits wants to date my kid. I've considered going as far as telling them that whatever they do to my kid I'll do to their mom, but I don't want to start every relationship off with a threat.

I have the same problem when I talk to my wife about her anxiety... my brain isn't broken, so it's hard to understand those that are. And I don't believe the answer for most is in some pill.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Are you suggesting that porn addiction isn't real? (being serious here)

feeling anxiety is a very rare thing for me.

The last time I can really remember it is about a year ago when I was changing jobs as well as getting snipped. And the changing jobs part was more feeling bad about informing my partners that I was leaving our company. I had nothing against them other than the fact that I predicted the company would go tits up in 6 months, so I was jumping off a sinking ship with mostly people I liked remaining on board. My prediction almost came true... it took 10 months for them to go tits up.

I'm suggesting that porn isn't the problem... it's the addicted person's current problem.

Porn didn't make them an addict, if it wasn't porn it'd be something else.

I have never said anything about being prone to addiction vs. not being. Of course that is also a factor. However, those prone to addiction may experience the effects I describe earlier

There's a significant difference in the resources the FBI has access to vs. Officer Joe in your local precinct.

The best thing local police departments can currently do is to be aware of the signs of dark web activity at a scene.

Dude I was told they had a server that registered hits on the Dark Web and that the screen never stopped scrolling. I don’t know enough to question that information.

The guy was one of my roommates senior year at Auburn and is a detective. I have no reason to question his info.

monitoring that hits on a site occur are one thing... being able to trace them back to a human is a completely different ball game.
