Obviously some people went off the deep end in this thread. The_Germans and that other kid think Catholics have become conspiracy theorists who believe Catholics take over the scientific establishment and are using science to promote an anti-fapping agenda. 
Half a dozen other people showed their typical trailer-trash intelligence.
Overall par for the course.
For those who are interested in exclusively scientific work done on the issue, see the following.

If you want still more, PM me. I will not entertain claims that the science is bad because it's done by catholics, or atheists, or muslims, or anybody. If the journal is reputed, and the peer review process is verifiable and the board is credentialed, STFU.
For those who still don't understand my position: I don't think porn itself is bad. The science shows, that sex is a a complex experience. Rewiring the experience can have a large number of effects, some positive, some negative. In the case of porn, one can make a good case that negative effects exist. And in many if not all cases, the neurological effect of short-circuiting the sexual response by using porn can have unintended consequences. It's a good topic of discussion. A very controversial one. Lonely porn-lovers are often very emotional in defending porn and trying to find faults, even incorrectly, in the claims being made. But overall, it's worth thinking about.
I posted this video before. I'll post it again as I sign off on the discussions I had earlier. It's a great video, even if you love porn and you want to understand what's happening in your brain.
