Addicted to Porn: Chasing the Cardboard Butterfly

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.

A simplistic heavily biased film with a strong conservative/religious undertone. The arguments are based upon a twisting of biology, anti-technology and an incorrect use of the word 'addiction'. It's also amusing to have a heavy metal musician with a pretty colourful history supplying the moralistic narration. All in all a very low grade documentary on a par with creationist films.

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.

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.

There are certain things in this world that we come across which impact our lives in such a way, where we are changed forever. Some for the better, some for the worst. Finding out a loved one, someone so close to you has a porn addiction, changes everything you thought you knew. Nothing makes much sense. You don't understand how or why. Porn is so mainstream and socially acceptable yet no one talks about it, so how can it be an issue? Right? Well, it is. It's a huge problem that impacts and devastates so many relationships. This film helps us understand how porn affects the brain. How it's so different from the other addictions out there. It's easy to understand and follow. Having the perspectives from different professionals and individuals. Also, having the personal story from a couple affected themselves. This disease is real and is nothing like anything we've ever seen. A documentary like this has been long over due and no one could have done it like Justin Hunt. Something for parents to be able to watch and share with their children so that dialect can begin. Talking about sex and porn can be hard. This is a great gateway to be able to do so. Brilliant, tasteful and respectful. I was so glad to have been able to attend a premiere to see it.
