porn addiction is real. How does a person, usually a man, arrive at a place where he is willing to buy sex from a child he has never met before and who he knows full well would rather be almost anywhere else in the world, and who probably ended up there through sexual abuse, poverty, a complete absence of family and social supports, and a heavy dose of desperation? How does he get to the point where he will buy sex for his own gratification from a child in that situation?Pornography plays at least two important roles in this industry. First, it’s marketing as we’ve already established. But second, it is a commodity unto itself. The recorded sex act can be sold over and over again.

The two biggest trends on the demand side in the pornography industry today are for younger victims and more violent sexual behavior. Put this together with pornography being addictive and progressive in nature and what you have is an increasing demand for child victims.

One of the biggest factors? Pornography.
