Former Playmate Pamela Anderson is urging people to give up pornography once and for all in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week. She argues with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach that porn has a “corrosive effect on a man’s soul and on his ability to function as husband, and, by extension, as father. This is a public hazard of unprecedented seriousness given how freely available, anonymously accessible and easily disseminated pornography is nowadays.”
Anderson labels porn as something for “losers.”
“Simply put, we must educate ourselves and our children to understand that porn is for losers— a boring, wasteful and dead-end outlet for people too lazy to reap the ample rewards of healthy sexuality,” the duo wrote.
The op-ed also used the Anthony Weiner scandal and his wife’s recent announcement that she is separating from him to further demonstrate the dangers of porn.
“If anyone still had doubts about the addictive dangers of pornography, Anthony Weiner should have put paid to them with his repeated, self-sabotaging sexting,” they wrote. “What is required is an honest dialogue about what we are witnessing—the true nature and danger of porn—and an honor code to tamp it down in the collective interests of our well-being as individuals, as families and as communities.”
The 49-year-old has had two sex tapes leaked—one with Tommy Lee in 1995 (her husband at the time) and another one with Bret Michaels in which images of the video appeared in Penthouse magazine in 1998. Anderson has also appeared on more Playboycovers (15) than any other model, and was the last model to pose nude for the magazine in its the January/February 2016 issue.
