what do you think about this?

First.. I have nothing against "Dr Phil". He is a celeb who earns a living off his displays on TV, much the same as all the "opinions" on court cases are spewed out by TV celebs who still seem to call themselves lawyers.
To suggest not browsing "these sites" will make it not possible to exist is absurd. Porn, as we know it, appeared within weeks of Caxton inventing the printing press - and existed in other formats prior to that time.
Child? What child is that???? :-) Is someone appealing to an audience??
The number of people who are "lacking something in their relationship" comprise of many millions of people with a wide range of underlying reasons why there may be something lacking.
"Third parties" enter a relationship often because there is a lacking, when partners end up finding others, often in the hope of having a relationship that does not exist within their own marriage.
Flip side of the coin is... no matter what scenario arises, some will end up being harmed by this. Invent any product and there are people who will, in some form or other, abuse or be "addicted" to it. General Motors and the local bar are probably responsible for many road deaths from drunken driving. The local bar is probably responsible for abuse within the family thru wife beating. Are Phillip Morris responsible for mass deaths? Where is this line? Is it drawn when large sums of money are involved or when PR firms get to work?
"Dr Phil" is a "TV celeb" speaking the words he knows are "acceptable" within a culture and what his audience wants to hear - most of all, avoid contraversy. TV contracts have a habit of being short where contraversy arises :-)
