    There are anecdotal reports of antisocial behavior, erectile dysfunction, etc in many small communities. I think yourbrainonporn.com is a good primer and rebootnation is a forum with people trying and failing to stop masterbating even to their own detriment. Make your own decision though.

      Yep the best way to start a new moral panic is by recycling tired tropes from an older one (drug / weed panic of the 90s).
