The hypocrite market
Search the word “pornography”
The anti-porn books, I suspect are aimed more at the wives of guys who watch it than at the guys themselves. It’s the kind of book a woman gets for a man as a part of an ultimatum to stop or get a lawyer. They frame it as an addiction, which would make it an easy problem to solve, simply find something more important to replace it, which is the solution to all addictions. There, problem solved in one sentence, no need for a book. But they saw a market (these control-freak wives) and they exploited it with books that are useless.
By framing it as an addiction in the first place you give it a ton of power, ranking it up there with heroin and crack, but it’s not really an addiction is it? If it is normal for people to want sex, then wanting sex in itself is not abnormal, and porn-consumption can be a symptom of this. If you can’t miss an NFL game during the season, and spend the off-season watching old highlights and closely following the draft, then you are not an addict, just a really big fan. But Porn has that evil, sex, and must be characterized differently. You can’t be a porn-fan, you have to be some kind of psychological cripple who should be in rehab.
These books an example how to play on the insecurities and hypocrisy of other people and make money doing it.
