    I agree porn addiction has been around for a long time, but it’s very different not that we’re reaching a point in time where people who are expected to be adults and functional in their mid 20’s grew up in a world of ubiquitous Internet access and had smart phones.

    So while porn addiction existed since photography, this is the first time we get to see the effect of population-wide unrestricted access to these things from a very young age.

    It’s actually probably better now with parent-child account management and the like, which didn’t exist at all 15-20 years ago. Also 15-20 years ago CSAM, death imagery, real rape and mutilation videos were all on the front pages of openly accessible .com’s anyone could visit.
