5. Lowers spouse's self esteem
6. Can make you a bad lover...affection, intimacy, communication, foreplay
7. Contributes to sex-trafficking industry... modern day slavery
8. Reduces the value of women, viewers become calloused to movements of sex-trafficking industry

10. Negatively affects the brain... be extra stimulated, extra sensitive to anything behind what is healthy and desensitivity to abnormal things, brain becomes dependent
