Agree, but I think that’s a separate issue entirely. I think the concept of porn addiction specifically comes up as an excuse for all kinds of depraved acts, from cheating to pedophilia to rape.

It also gives a somewhat conscience-alleviating name to the overwhelming psychological stress that many religious people feel when they experience the cognitive dissonance of enjoying something so “evil” and “sinful”, as the article discusses. An ex of mine, who was raised in a much stricter baptist family, had real, serious trauma from it.

Every single time I have heard someone repeat it, it was in a “fun fact” way and not in a joking way.

She, but thank you, this was my point exactly.

Libraries with access to the enormous amount of English language content are usually only found in English speaking countries, though.

Good luck finding more than a few books on niche topics in, say, Dutch (ask me how I know).

I deeply regret not hanging onto my US library card.
