I definitely see the relationship to drugs/alcohol addictions. I can also see this being analogous to video games/violence -- where people use it as an outlet, but don't actually intend to go out and kill people.<BR/><BR/>But our conclusions are the same: what's being done now isn't working.

Yes, it would be hard, but they could not look if they really wanted to.

These people are still out there and it's unlikely they can all be caught/rehabilitated/whatever.

I understand why Oprah would have a show on this, but I'm a little shocked, just from your description, of how graphic it was.<BR/><BR/>Now, just as an intellectual exercise, I'd like to know what you think about virtual porn.
