*** Addicts are typically paranoid schizophrenics. They suffered brain damage from obsessions for illicit pornography. Addicts usually abuse narcotics and alcohol. This disease should be treated as an illness. Doctors use sophisticated scanners to view pictures of an addict''s brain for injuries. Medication, ECT, and surgery restores sanity.

Everything sexually that''s going on behind closed doors on the internet, is what''s not being allowed to happen in the bedroom or out in public.

It''s a no brainer that internet porn is a multi-billion dollar business.

I agree with the viewer tootoo8107. Sunday morning is NOT the time nor the place to discuss this. Leave it to 20/20 or some other show. We tune in every Sunday morning to see a piece of Americana and enjoy the show with our grandkids sometimes. You make it hard to explain THIS (which is NOT our dept. to share with youngsters.) We enjoy stories about the small towns,tractors, etc.WHAT a disappointment to have come soooo far from the original concept of the show. We sure miss Charles Kuralt and his slice of American pie. There is TOO much interesting stories out there you are missing. It would have been SOO much more fun to watch more of the domino fall than some guy addicted to ***.You REALLY blew it on this one.

"Joe says he''s battled *** addiction for decades. With adult magazines, prostitutes, massage parlors, and then Internet porn..."

This sounds more like surrender than battle.

The problem is that everyone is terrified. Our sexually-repressed society uses the cloak of being "family oriented" as a way to keep all public behavior rated G and PG and pass all the made up politically correct scrutiny that people are judged by. Hell, I can remember when couples actually use to make out in public, and nobody thought anything of it. In fact it made them happy to see people in love. Pretty much now in this day and age, any public display of love/affection/turn-on is a social crime that you can be put in jail for.

Actually I think Bill Clinton may belong in this catagory of addicts. He certainly isn''t on top of the world I live in.
