Violence can be addictive too. It frequently is, judging by the amount of gore (simulated or real) sites and rape-fantasy/BDSM porn out there. The addiction to violence actually (IMO) works a more vicious evil in your brain than plain sex/porn addiction, though that is damaging in its own way too.

I agree! However, I think when violence becomes addictive its because it gets linked to sexuality. Mostly I’m just saying I agree.

I read an interesting essay years ago from a psych-educated person (leaving that intentionally vague because I don’t remember) who was urging moviemakers not to reduce the amount of sex or violence in movies, but to separate those scenes in movies by some amount of time like 5 minutes: ok to have a sex scene, ok to have a murder scene, but please no sexy murder scenes.
