Is there a link between adult content addition and detachment
disorder? And, what's the long term prognosis for a adult content
addict as it relates to long term, monogomous relationships? I'd also
appreciate anecdotal opinions from various researchers or portal
participants. Thanks.

hi anonymussedhair,
I could not find any link between Adult Content(Pornography) Addiction
and detachment disorder.

However, I did find a paper titled:
"Internet Traders of Child Pornography and other Censorship
Offenders in New Zealand"
http://www.dia.govt.nz/Pubforms.nsf/URL/entirereport.pdf/$file/entirereport.pdf

Keywords: "Child Pornography" "Collector's Syndrome"

Can you tell me if this paper might help you?

Thanks.

Hi Googleexpert

Thanks for trying.  Unfortunately, no, the paper you describe is not
associated with the topic.

For clarification, I'm looking for a link between porn addiction
(online or print) and detachment disorder (the inability for a person
to form intimate emotional bonds with others).  In other words, do
those with porn addiction have a prior history of failure to form
bonds?  Or.. do those with detachment problems tend to go for
pornography at some point in their lives, perhaps due to the lack of
sustained, quality relationships?

Thanks
Ann
