While they’re at it they could add “potential to cause spontaneous human combustion” or “potentially damaging to time-space continuum.” Potentially. I’m no porn fan, but my understanding is the evidence on the addictiveness claims is super weak.
The causal arrow between porn and the brain development thing could easily go either way. It’s hard to tell.
Surely porn is known to California to cause cancer.
It must, that label is on everything, so it effectively means nothing. This exchange happened between my wife and I a couple months ago
‘oh honey look…this pink Himalayan salt, which expires in…2 weeks?!? is known to the state of cancer to cause California. Ah, science. What a time to be alive’
The amount of lead in Himalayan salt (it’s mined from mountains in Pakistan) can be above allowed limits, and especially can cause developmental issues in children. Europe has same or possibly more stringent lead expectations.
I guess the two takes could be “ugh California has warnings on everything so it’s meaningless” or “wow, FDA really doesn’t give a fuck and allows all this stuff to go unchecked”
What if the label itself is what causes cancer?!?
They’re usually vinyl (PVC), and it probably does. At least it would if you ingest or burn it. Burning it could release chlorine, too, so the cancer might be the least of your worries.
Don’t forget the reproductive harm!
Shhh don’t give them any ideas!
I mean, there’s such a thing as being addicted to porn. I fall to see how you get such an addiction without looking at it
Yes, but there’s such a thing as being addicted to sex, too, and pretty much any pleasurable activity. It’s generally pretty rare.
Causation vs. Correlation. Porn addicts have obviously watched porn. But that doesn’t mean that watching porn causes porn addiction.
It’s like saying drug addicts have obviously used drugs, but it’s only correlated to their addiction
