I know this is CNN, but the issue is real. Even the most compulsive liars sometimes tell the truth ;-)

I agree that the issue is real, but it might not be widespread. -That's just my point of contention. It's a recurring type of article that describes a new cultural shift, but only provides anecdote to establish that any shift is taking place. I've just become hypersensitive to it I guess, and it drives me crazy. Journalists should be held to a higher standard.

Agreed. If this is a real phenomenon, you would never know it form this article. Is rampant depression among teenagers new? No. How do we have any proof that depressed people are just more likely to watch porn regularly, because they need to feel something other than shitty?
