The true answer is the same for all PMOers but the variety of replies is infinite, I find this part of the consultation the most amusing and at the same time the most pathetic.

Most of them can remember that their first ‘peek’ was a mix of revulsion and novel curiosity. They then filter out and get “skilled” at “locating” and “bookmarking” the right porn sites. They know that they had to work hard in order to become hooked.
The most annoying part is that they sense that non-addicts - most women, older guys, people living in countries where hi-speed internet porn is not available “on tap” - are not missing anything and that they are laughing at them.
