Pamela Anderson Rails Against Porn in New Op-Ed

BY Josiah HughesPublished Sep 1, 2016

Author, actress, model and potential Werner Herzog collaborator Pamela Anderson has written a new op-ed in which she speaks out against the dangers of pornography.

Teaming up with rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the pair wrote a lengthy piece for the Wall Street Journal wherein they decried the dissemination of pornography throughout pop culture. "From our respective positions of rabbi-counselor and former Playboy model and actress, we have often warned about pornography's corrosive effects on a man's soul and on his ability to function as husband and, by extension, as father," they write.

The piece compares pornography addiction with that of illicit drugs. It describes youths who have overused pornography as "the crackbabies of porn."

"This is a public hazard of unprecedented seriousness given how freely available, anonymously accessible and easily disseminated pornography is nowadays," the piece reads. "How many families will suffer? How many marriages will implode? How many talented men will scrap their most important relationships and careers for a brief onanistic thrill?"

The piece goes on to blame porn addiction for politician Anthony Weiner's recent sexting scandal.
