Addictive

Gid Powers, talking about the FBI, mentions that child porn is so addictive that the agents monitoring have to be examined every 6 weeks to see that they aren't becoming dependent on it themselves. What does this tell us. I think that kiddy porn is one of those things that I, at least, just don't get. It is one of those moral wrongs that seems so abberant that we are inclined not to think of it as a moral wrong since to have the desire to see it in the first place is prima facia evidence of a disorder. But if people like the kind of people that the FBI has in the job can be susceptable to this then what can the regular exposure to pornography to average people lead to?
