Ok, so instead of you stating your position in a precise way (not "pornography use has been shown to be harmful to the brain") and providing evidence for it, I have to guess what it is and read eighty studies to find the evidence myself.

That's not how you prove a point, but have a nice day.

Porn use (and sex addiction) causes hypofrontality (weakened willpower + hyper-reactivity to cues due to a dysfunctional prefrontal cortex). This is the most serious effect but there are others such as a dysfunctional stress system, desensitization, and decreased respect towards people you find sexually attractive and increased objectification of such people. Feel free to click the link, hit crtl+f, and type in any keywords to search for specific studies. If you were really interested, you'd just read it, but maybe that's too hard for you. Seems like you just want to argue for fun.

I was hoping you were going to define "porn" and "use", at least, but I guess I was expecting too much from someone who actually thought the life expectancy of gay porn performers is 25 because a gay blog said it "seems" that way.

Do you really not know what "porn" or "porn use" are? The studies I linked (I see you still haven't bothered to read them) cover different kinds of porn from videos to magazines. They also cover masturbating to porn and simply watching without masturbating. Also I admit I was a little hasty on that life expectancy number there. On further investigation I could only find this: http://danielrjennings.org/TheAverageLifeExpectancyOfAPornStar.html Where the sample size is quite small. I can't find any more studies on the subject. Seems like someone doesn't want people to know. Porn is a huge industry that makes a ton of money. I still think that porn stars are more likely to die younger than the general population but I can't back that up other than the massive amounts of porn stars who die young.

It's not surprising you don't understand why I asked for definitions.

Anyways, all of my claims are backed up somewhere in the internet or library, if you're too lazy and dumb to read until I'm proven right that's not my fault, I'm done spoon-feeding you.
