PORNOGRAPHY

Pornography is any type of sexually explicit picture, movie, book, music, electronic game, computer image or anything else that promotes lust or inappropriate sexual behavior. Pornography can be accessed from a variety of sources including: the Internet, movie and game rental stores, clothing catalogues, television, magazines, dial porn telephone numbers and adult entertainment businesses. Those who develop a pornography habit often follow a similar pattern to those found in other addictions.  The characteristics of pornography addiction include craving for sexual material despite negative consequences and increased desire to experience more sexually explicit material. Some believe that pornography addiction goes beyond a user's voluntary control and becomes a “disease.” For tobacco, alcohol and drug addiction see Addiction.
