Erototoxin

An erototoxin is a neurological chemical postulated by Judith Reisman, an anti-pornography activist. According to her, it is triggered in the brain by exposure to pornography. She considers erototoxins addictive substances which represent the link between pornography and such things as serial murder, rape, child molestation, and erectile dysfunction.

There is currently no scientific evidence for the existence of erototoxins, nor has any link between pornography and sex crimes been scientifically proven.
