Pornography can lead to addiction and desensitization from "summary" of Annals of Pornographie: How Porn Became Bad by Brian M. Watson

The insidious nature of pornography lies in its ability to lead individuals down a dark path of addiction and desensitization. As viewers become increasingly engrossed in the explicit content, they may find themselves craving more extreme material to achieve the same level of arousal. This cycle of escalation can quickly spiral out of control, leading to a compulsive need to consume increasingly graphic and violent images. Furthermore, repeated exposure to pornography can desensitize individuals to the humanity of the performers involved. What was once shocking and taboo becomes normalized and mundane, requiring more extreme content to elicit a reaction. This desensitization can extend beyond the realm of pornography, affecting individuals' attitudes and behaviors towards sex and relationships in the real world. The addictive nature of pornography can also have profound psychological consequences, as individuals may struggle to form meaningful connections with others or develop healthy attitudes towards sex. This can lead to feelings of isolation, shame, and inadequacy, further perpetuating the cycle of addiction and desensitization. In today's hypersexualized society, where pornography is readily accessible with just a few clicks, it is more important than ever to be aware of the potential dangers it poses. By understanding the ways in which pornography can lead to addiction and desensitization, individuals can make informed choices about their consumption and seek help if they find themselves caught in its grip.
