So they pretend that they are above it, and that it is "everyone else" they are trying to protect, which only serves to perpetuate the myth. If more people (especially men) were honest about it, I think we would find that over 90% of men have at least a mild problem (or addiction), with a great percentage having serious problems (or addictions). It has just become too easy to find, and difficult to avoid, and it is time to admit that ALL of us need internet filtering. (Not just our kids). So to answer the question: why do so many people use internet porn when they don’t approve? Because they don't want to admit that they are weak, and that they need help! Sometimes all it takes is a little help. I say, lets get it out of our homes, and out of our businesses, and we will have taken a big step in getting it out of our lives!

Porn IS an addictive activity, and addicts are often split between being an addict and doing the things that this/her addiction wants/drives them to do, and a deeper, I would suggest HIGHER part of their being which knows that this addictive activity (booze, drugs, porn, gambling) is harming them. Porn's more subtle in the sense that unlike drink of drugs it's not obviously physically harmful, and unlike gambling it doesn't cost much, if anything. Because of this it's harder to combat. There's no doubt in my mind that porn is possibly the worst type of addiction because it profoundly degrades the inner feeling of which sexuality is a part, and influences young men in particular to view girls and women as objects to be manipulated according to the most recent porn activity they watched.
