Pornography affects people in many ways, and I'll be talking about 3 domains...

Ted Bundy violently murdered 40 women in the 1970’s. In his final interview, just before his execution, he calmly and intelligently describes how pornography contributed to his violent tendencies, turning him from a regular boy into a psychopath. In his very last interview, he warned us of the danger of porn as a tremendous risk to our society. It is frightening!  And twenty years later, not only has no one heeded the call of one of the most dangerous psychopaths in US...

Johnson. The Johnson Model is premised on the idea that the most effective intervention approach is to gather concerned relatives and friends of the alcoholic/addict and present...

The goal of living is to survive well and happily. And some people believe that goal can be achieved with the help of drugs. Soon, they find themselves unable to achieve any real goals without leaning on the drugs like a crutch, and they find that the goals they were achieving on the drugs were not really desirable goals to begin with.
