“And yes, porn is one of the most addictive of all substances. In fact, some people have come to call pornography “the new drug.” As we will see later, some drugs create a higher dopamine high than porn, but there are no drugs as accessible as the new drug. How hard would it be to break a cocaine habit if you always had it in your pocket?”
