So can alcohol addiction, drug addiction, nicotine addiction and any other addiction, however just because you drink doesn't mean you'll become addicted to alcohol and just because you like porn doesn't mean you'll become addicted to that either.

i don't know many guys (including me) who haven't had to battle with it to a greater or lesser extent.

I have never had to "battle with it", nor do I think I ever will have, yet surely I'm the one who is *most* likely to be "corrupted" by it!!!

i'm no prude in the sense that.. i'm open about sex as a subject for discussion and education.. but on a moral level there is a huge amount that worries me about how our society treats this issue especially with children

I agree, that worries me too, but from a totally different point of view.
Our society is becoming more and more inclined to the attitude that children are like fine china, to be wrapped in cotton wool, to be taken great care of, to not be let out of our sight or arms' reach lest they become "damaged" by that big *nasty* world that's out there...
However this is a totally *artificial* attitude. For much of mankind's existance, and, indeed, in much of the world today, children live and sleep in the same room as their parents, and that means they're there when sex happens.
They're also there when their siblings are born, they're there when people die, yet, amazingly, they manage to survive these "traumas" that would have any self-respecting western child in therapy!
This idea that, somehow, children need to be "protected" from sex is ludicrous, but we have allowed ourselves to be so scared by our own "moral attitudes" that we can't even think about them in a rational way any more.
