Every day, Daniel couldn't wait to get home from school so he could turn on his computer. Once it booted up, he typed "naked women" into Google, settled in and took his time to pick through the 5 million hits those two words brought to his screen.
Once in a while, he would turn around to make sure his mom, making dinner in the next room, couldn't see what he was looking at. With the coast clear, he turned back to enjoy the view, his mom none the wiser. The Internet blocker that his parents installed prevented him from viewing some pictures or videos, but not many. "I still had tons of choices," he said.

Scrolling through the photographs, he felt the familiar rush of pleasure and guilt. When his mom walked in, he flipped the screen to check his fantasy football standings or to respond to the instant-message boxes filled with friends' banter about teachers they didn't like, what would be on tomorrow's test and embarrassing stuff that happened at the lunch table. As soon as his mom left, he switched back to the porn -- just as he did every day from 3:30 until he went to bed around 11. Daniel said he was hooked.
"It was kind of like being an alcoholic, and you can't get enough drinks, and you want to keep drinking. I couldn't get enough of it, and I wanted to keep doing it, and it got worse, and I needed to see better stuff," said Daniel. First it was more skin. Then it was more sex. He watched as women were beaten as part of sex and had sex with animals.
Even after his parents caught him, he didn't stop.
"I knew I was probably going to get busted again, and I didn't care. It was like I craved it," he said. Daniel's grades dropped, and he stopped wanting to hang out with his friends. His mom, Jean, said he even asked if he could quit the football team. (Jean spoke to us on the condition that we did not use hers or Daniel's last name).
"All I wanted to do was look at pornography," said Daniel, 15, of Twinsburg.
Finding online porn
without even trying
Experts fear Daniel is not alone. Recently, many psychologists and sociologists report a surge in the number of young males displaying symptoms of obsessive compulsive behavior to Internet pornography, also known as I-porn. In the past, objections against pornography were primarily moral ones, raised by religious and political opponents who warned against the impact of pervasive pornography. Now, an additional wave of opposition is warning about the impact of pervasive porn, arguing it is transforming teenage sexuality and relationships -- for the worse.
