We recently discovered this 27-page account of Nicole Prause’s unethical behaviors and tactics. The author is writing anonymously (presumably from fear of retribution). From the content, it appears the document is a few years old; a whole lot more malicious behavior has occurred in the last 2 years. Unlike the overwhelming Prause pages (page 1, […]

Introduction Nicole Prause is a former academic with a long history of harassing and defaming authors, researchers, therapists, reporters, men in recovery, academic journal editors, multiple organizations, and others who dare to report evidence of harms from internet porn use.

Pro-porn activists often assert porn addiction is a myth on the theory that compulsive porn users do not experience either tolerance (habituation, escalation) or withdrawal symptoms. Not so.
