How the “porn profs” work to protect the industry from devastating evidence of porn’s harms

By Jonathon Van Maren

For years, the evidence that porn is utterly destructive has been mounting. Pornography has not only been mainstreaming sexual violence, but been spurring erectile dysfunction among young men and reshaping the relationships of entire generations. Laila Mickelwait of Exodus Cry has been consistently highlighting the vile abuses of PornHub, which showcases sexual assault and violence and regularly hosts videos of trafficking victims.

So why do so many academics consistently defend pornography? At a conference in Houston several years ago, I attended a lecture by Dr. Mary Anne Layden, one of the leading academics exposing the links between violence and porn. She explained that a handful of so-called intellectuals, whom she dubbed “the porn profs,” defended the porn industry due to their own connections to it. Gabe Deem, who came on my podcast recently, released a video this week on “The Porn Playbook,” explaining how academics such as Dr. David Ley and Dr. Nicole Prause “disinform, defame, and deny” to protect organizations like PornHub.

    David ley is a idiot,hes the devil,he calls himself a professional,yet defames people,from someone whom writes crappy books,cares nothing about mental health issues and helping people,only lining his pockets with money on book of lies,charlie sheen development hiv bc he was screwing anything in a skirt,if thats not sex addction then i dont what is.Gene simmons boasts about screwing thosands of women sounds like addction to me.Lust will get you lost and broken and alone,i supose he thinks that adult performers whom get into drugs and commit sucide is also a myth,stats dont lie,and it wont help finding love,why do you think jenna presly almost became a stastic but luckly got out cleaned her act up ,got married,same with Jennifer ketchum aka penny flame,screwing anything with a pulse is called sex addction retard.David ley is probably a single alone idiot,promating cam sights asking for money,terry crews saught treatment when his wife almost walked away.Sex addction and porn kill love,you wanna be a whore dont get married.._you cant have your cake and eat it 2,arguing with dr.Ley ,whom doesn’t deseve to have that title.Is like arguing with a child or a brick wall,he was told by several people how it effects the mental health issues and the dopamine system,delta fas b and death grip.Also several studies,including Cambridge and maxx planc ,sue varma sveral sex therapists,the millions on reboot nation,fight the new drug,etc,differnt ages ,races,relgious to no relgious beliefs,don hilton ,gary wilson rip.Staci sprought etc.You cant argue science or basic bilogy to defaming ignorant liars like david ley or nicole prause ,whom continue to attack and defame and even have lawsuits pennding ,im sure garys widow didnt appreciate the allegations nicole prause was accusing him of,sham on her especially for someone who calls herself a dr .These two should have their license and practice taken away asap.Gary didnt deserve the attacks and false accusations,and if he was in a diifernt state like nicole claims stalking im sure his wife would of known her husband was missing and more then likely would of wanted out .Making up lies is defamtion and just plain vindictive and wrong,those people on those sights are obviously also sex addicted,bc it sure isn’t about love ,how the hell did this guy get a degree ?Must hand them to anyone,like the scarcrow said in the wizard of oz some people with no brains do alot of talking ,shut your trap mr.lEy please,and stop writing books ever .Don go on talk shows ,just keep your mouth shut .Everything is a myth to him.Tobacco companies still claim cigarette s aren’t addctive or harmfully,they are trying to protect their brand ,7 dollars a pack and people still buy them knowing the risks,same thing with ceos of mingeek of course they deny its effects on mental health bc they want to protect the brand and david ley gets paid to deny also.He cares for none but himself ,shame on him.No respect for people like him.Mad respect for people like dr.drew.don hilton,gary wilson r.ip.Rant over ,sorry david ley but over a million people cant be wrong .He probably tries convincing people that the earth is flat .Hopless in wis.

    I remember yrs.Ago seeing something on xhamster,this girl u could totally tell was not 18,she looked drugged,and was perfoming oral on a guy and she was in tears,the director or producer or what have you was heard yelling do it better ,probably the scum bag from gdp whom is in prison,so david ley needs to stop deffending these sights .The fact is lawsuits on mingeek are very real and several in jail etc.

  14. Todd says:
