In a great article in The Atlantic this month, Ross Douthat asks the question "Is Porn Adultery?" A few quotes from the article:One perspective, broadly construed, treats porn as a harmless habit, near-universal among men, and at worst a little silly. A second perspective treats porn as a kind of gateway drug—a vice that paves the way for more-serious betrayals. A 2004 study found that married individuals who cheated on their spouses were three times as likely to have used Internet pornography as married people who hadn’t committed adultery. It is everywhere (for men, anyway): A survey of American college students last year found that 70 percent of the women in the sample never looked at pornography, compared with just 14 percent of their male peers; almost half of the men surveyed looked at porn at least once a week, versus just 3 percent of the women.What do you think?POLL QUESTION: IS PORN ADULTERY?
