A few things from that article.

1 - Poor parenting
2 - It's biased [no, really?]

Quote:
And like Ethan, they're getting hooked on porn.
..where are the figures supporting this?

Quote:
Oxbow also gets plenty of calls about girls who are addicted
..how many is plenty? 2? 6,000?

Quote:
Even non-sex addicts will show brain reactions on PET scans while viewing pornography similar to cocaine addicts looking at images of people doing cocaine
Same dopamines released while have sex, no doubt.
I would love to see the study proving causality between sex and cocaine abuse.

Quote:
The average kid sees his first pornographic image at age 11
..accoding to whom, which statistic? What classifies as a 'pornographic image', and what's an 'average child' ?

Quote:
In fact, the largest group of Internet pornography consumers consists of teens between the ages of 12 and 17.
...uh.. sources?


And so on. It only takes a tiny amount of critical reading to debunk the majority of the article. Is porn good for 12 year olds? No idea - but I wouldn't be forming my opinions off that article.
