Question by kbmoose1: Is addiction to pornography ‘curable’?
A young lady asked me this recently. She said that her boyfriend told her he had been treated for ‘porn addiction’ a couiple of years ago. Not sure what ‘porn addiction’ is, or how it was treated. I know that I’ve heard TV shows say that child molestors are never really cured, like alcoholics are never really cured. But I’d never heard of porn addiction so I told her I’d see what I could find out and let her know.

For those out there who jump on this with wisecrack answers or a chance to abuse a questioner, feel free to be immature.
