Are you viewing porn 'too much'?

This article is rated 18 I (for those whom are 18 years of age and inquisitive only) "Those people spending large amounts of time accessing porn are not having more fun," said Dr Heather Wood. "They are more worried about themselves, more worried about what they are looking at, and report more relationship problems." Four per cent of men aged 18-24 (in the UK) said they used adult sites for more than 10 hours a week, a level which doctors describe as "problematic and potentially compulsive". bbc There are quite a few ways of looking at it.
