It's interesting to see how many tangents this discussion has led to in various topics.
I think I may have started the subject of crime related to pornography in my mention of Ted Bundy and his proclamation that he had been addicted to porn, which (he said) led to his criminal acts. I think this was a ploy and excuse on his part as his execution neared. I would characterize him and others like him as a psychopath and sociopath, with or without pornography.

On a personal note, I have dated a couple of fellas who revealed their interest in pornography, be it strip bars, films, or in print. Some hid it, but I suspected it, only to have it confirmed. Their notions of intimacy and relationships in general were not good, and they were not nice men. At the time, upon learning of this preoccupation, I didn't object, just hung in there for awhile to get to know the person...Now I would view this as a big red flag and end it! And NO, I'm not a prude!
