Internet Porn: Worse than Crack?

This belongs in my humor category - "erototoxins", indeed - except that the effort is deadly serious. This has to qualify as possibly the most outrageous bit of nauseous bullshit that I've ever heard of: if you're down on porno for religious (or other) reasons, just say so and be done with it. Don't go around inventing chemical causes for moral "failures" - that road leads to perdition.

Researchers tell a Senate hearing that internet porn is more addictive and harmful than street drugs. One calls for government-funded research into the 'erototoxins.' By Ryan Singel.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
