Child abuse, child pornography and the internet: Executive summary. NCH.

The Prime source of pornography today is the internetDID YOU KNOW 85% of men incarcerated for child pornography possession admitted to sexual contact with children Hernandez, A., Self-Reported Contact Sexual Offenses by Participants in the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Sex Offender Treatment Program: Implications for Internet Sex Offenders, Federal Bureau of Prisons, November 2000.

  23. Pornography link to CSA Mayo Clinic Studies and case reports indicate that 30% to 80% of individuals who viewed child pornography and 76% of individuals who were arrested for Internet child pornography had molested a child RYAN C. W. HALL; RICHARD C. W. HALL (2007-04). "A Profile of Pedophilia: Definition, Characteristics of Offenders, Recidivism, Treatment Outcomes, and Forensic Issues" (PDF). Mayo Clin Proc82 (4): 457–471. doi:10.4065/82.4.457. PMID17418075

  24. Pornography link to CSA Dr. Victor B. Cline, “As a clinical psychologist, I have treated…approximately 350 sex addicts, sex offenders, or other individuals (96% male) with sexual illnesses. This includes…compulsive sexual acting-out, plus such things as child molestation, exhibitionism, voyeurism, sadomasochism, fetishism, and rape. With several exceptions, pornography has been a major or minor contributor or facilitator in the acquisition of their deviation or sexual addiction…”

  25. Pornography Addiction Process Dr. Victor B. Cline, 4 steps of pornography addiction: FIRST STEP – ADDICTION • an addiction-effect. The porn-consumers got hooked. • they kept coming back for more and still more. • The material seemed to provide a very powerful sexual stimulant or aphrodisiac effect, • followed by sexual release, most often through masturbation…

  26. Pornography link to CSA Dr. Victor B. Cline, 4 steps of pornography addiction: SECOND STEP – ESCALATION • With the passage of time, the addicted person required rougher, more explicit, more deviant, and “kinky” kinds of sexual material to get their “highs” and “sexual turn-ons.” • reminiscent of individuals afflicted with drug addictions. Over time there is nearly always an increasing need for more of the stimulant to get the same initial effect

  27. Pornography link to CSA Dr. Victor B. Cline, 4 steps of pornography addiction: THIRD PHASE – DESENSITIZATION • Material…which was originally perceived as shocking, taboo-breaking, illegal, repulsive, or immoral, in time came to be seen as acceptable and commonplace. • The sexual activity depicted in the pornography (no matter how anti-social or deviant) became legitimized. There was an increasing sense that “everybody does it” and this gave them permission to also do it, even though the activity was possibly illegal and contrary to their previous moral beliefs and personal standard.

  28. Pornography link to CSA Dr. Victor B. Cline, 4 steps of pornography addiction: FOURTH PHASE - ACTING OUT SEXUALLY • an increasing tendency to act out sexually the behaviors viewed in the pornography, including compulsive promiscuity, exhibitionism, group sex, voyeurism, frequenting massage parlors, having sex with minor children, rape, and inflicting pain on themselves or a partner during sex. • This behavior frequently grew into a sexual addiction which they found themselves locked into and unable to change or reverse—no matter what the negative consequences were in their life.
