| >This sounds like a smart response until you think about the possibility of an academic study researching exposure of minors to hardcore porn. Think that would pass ethical muster? Well, yeah, it would... >1. Does porn usage line up with other patterns of addiction? I'm not sure what this question is asking. Porn usage may or may not 'line up' with patterns of addiction. That doesn't mean that porn always or even the majority of the time is. Can you rephrase this question into something more coherent? >2. Are similarly addicting things withheld from children because their brains are less equipped to handle it? LOL absolutely not. Children, especially American children, are given huge amounts of sugar, which is actually physically addictive. Many are given huge amounts of caffeine which is again, physically addictive. Millions of children around the country have tons of access to video games and TV, which can be addictive. >If yes to both, then it’s a no-brainer. Well, you're first question doesn't make any sense, and your second question is a resounding no. The best way to keep your child from becoming addicted to anything is to act like a parent. |
