There is so much pornography available in various forms in the United States that analysts fear Americans will become desensitized to it, said Donny Pauling, anti-porn activist and former porn producer.

Pornography is the most downloaded content on the Internet, and few are talking about how destructive and addictive smut can be for men, women and children.

Experts say viewing porn can damage relationships, lead to crime and even, increase the demand for the sex trafficking of children and adults. WUSA9’s Andrea McCarren had a candid conversation with a former porn producer, who is now filled with regret for the damage he has done to hundreds of women.

Advocacy groups are gathering this weekend in the nation’s capital for the Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation Summit, a meeting aimed to raise awareness of the dangers of pornography.

At a news conference Thursday, some of the lead speakers said that if Americans realized how harmful porn can be, they’d begin to reject it.
