From the article:

So you're saying porn is damaging?
Well, sex is a permanent fixture in our consciousness and our relationships. To abuse that part of who we are is just asking for trouble. That’s why even porn on a recreational level will damage you, probably in ways subtler than it did to me, but it will do damage. You’ll feel a level of sadness when you catch yourself thinking about your old girlfriend, or Miss November, or a porn star, or whatever, when you’re having sex with your lover. You’ll know that connection wasn’t there, that intimacy wasn’t there, and she'll sense that too.

This guy sounds like he's projecting.

Porn doesn't ruin lives. Watching porn and, more to the point, CHOOSING to watch porn can damage lives. Let's not forget people's personal responsibility.

Unless you are 12 years old and don't understand porn is fantasy and grow into adulthood with unhealthy expectations of what sex is. Some parents are on top of this problem... many are not.

I will say this - if you take a few weeks off from porn, it does wonders for your sex drive! Guaranteed.
