Is Porn Poison for the Brain?

2/6/26:

 

  It was probably not personally a good idea for me to make this post.  However, even though it may have been a mistake, I won't take it down.  Nor will I disavow what I wrote here.

  It is a terrible thing.

  I will leave it at that.  But first, this:  It should be banned.  Without exception. People will be better off without it.  It is as bad as substance abuse, maybe even worse.

Does porn actually damage the brain?
Might sound far-fetched, but there is some very interesting research on this topic that might convince you that it does. This week, I plan to post each day on a different topic related to my new book, Sex & God at Yale. Chapter 2, entitled "The Great Porn Debate," details a rip-roaring Oxford-style porn debate starring porn performer Ron Jeremy, which was held in New Haven during my junior year.



I think it should be banned, even though I use it myself. It has probably done a lot of harm to men since WWII. Before then, it was probably nonexistent. This was probably a lot better country then, and it would be a lot better if we got rid of this.
