    Angry

    This so called "documentary" starts off a little bit disjointed but OK lets say they are a little "right wing prudes" and descends into Christian dogma values and tripe by the end. I wanted so much to watch something balanced and to say they over reached themselves would be redundant. They basically say scandi countries who just view sex as a function are extremely healthy regarding porn and then guilt an American guy through divorce as a pervert. Shame on them, shame on the wife, scrapheap life.

    Amazing film well worth the watch.

    This is a very well put together documentary about the issue of pornography addiction. This film is safe enough to show your entire family and Justin held to his word of not having any pornography in the film and still made his point. I would recommend watching this film and having your entire family watch it as well.

    Stopped Watching This Tedium 20 Minutes In

    My childhood Catechism classes were way more interesting than this dribble. Humans are social. Porn is so old school. Today couples may share their intimate moments with other couples or anyone interested to watch through video uploading and sharing. A loner might record themselves touching themselves and upload it for another loner to watch and touch themselves. This is a strongly social motive. This documentary is a pseudo-documentary, archaic and appalling.

    Humans are well, very human. Get over it.

    Very biased movie - straw man arguments

    Very disappointed at this documentary. Very one-sided (despite a minor attempt to show a different view, by one specialist vs. dozens of other supporting their view). Even the general population that they interview show their side only. The take home message of this movie is: Porn is bad, not that it "can" be bad, similar to cars (cars can kill but they can also save lives). In sum, a big disappointment.

    Good documentary!

    This documentary is more than interesting, it poses serious problems in the discussion, in fact and mainly trying to answer the question: is pornography something good or something bad? Many of the scenes with the simple people on the street are representative for the subject, many do not know how to respond, but the opinions of the specialists are worthy of consideration. I tend to agree with the one who says that pornography is neither good nor bad, it is neutral, just like cars that are useful but can also be dangerous. Very emotional the real couple which divorced because the man turned out to be a porn addict.
