Up until 1995, that was true, but porn was so much more limited just by the means of distribution back then that it really wasn’t a big problem.

After the internet revolution, the first order of business was mainstreaming porn and making it easy to get, cheap, and digital.

Once the porn became cheap and easy to find, the next step was in bringing masturbation out of the bathroom. Shows like “Sex in the City” and the “American Pie” movies have made masturbation into an act as socially-acceptable as defecating. It’s not something you normally do in front of people, but its no big deal if they know you’re doing it right now.

The final step was sexualizing everything. Now, the man who suffers from lust problems can get that fire re-ignited constantly. Once the fire is lit, he can gain easy access to porn, and he’s back in the game.

Honestly, I think the real ‘war’ is at the level of how we value ourselves as spiritual human beings, and what we teach our children - not just by what we tell them, but by how we live. We've let life become devalued, in general. The ‘intellectual’ flight to secularism, and the characterization of religious faith as anti-intellectual 'superstition’ has had profound effects.

We don't seem to want to be more than our organic selves anymore. We should be so very much more than the sum of our appetites. We are capable of so much more.
