Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, author of the book Kosher Sex, has teamed up with Pamela Anderson, the actress and former Playboy model, to warn of “the dangers of pornography.”

In an article co-written by them in the Wall Street Journal, they described pornography as “a public hazard of unprecedented seriousness”.

Rabbi Boteach and Ms Anderson cited statistics from the American Psychological Association, stating that porn consumption rates are between 50 per cent and 99 per cent among men and 30 per cent to 86 per cent among women.

They warned that: “The incidence of porn addiction will only spiral as the children now being raised in an environment of wall-to-wall, digitised sexual images become adults inured to intimacy and in need of even greater graphic stimulation.”
