In this brief YouTube monologue, Nick Stumbo cites a survey in which only 21% of respondents said they wish they didn’t use pornography at all, highlighting that a minority desire complete abstinence. He argues that society has normalized pornography by treating it as a harmless, occasional indulgence, likening its consumption to willingly ingesting poison. Stumbo questions why people accept any amount of something he characterizes as harmful, using the poison analogy to critique the prevailing mindset that “a little bit is okay.”

You know, when people were asked the question, "How comfortable are you with pornography in your life?" only 21% said they wish they didn't use it at all. So that idea that I could live a life without any pornography, only 1 in 5 said that was their aspiration, which just shows me that in general, we've accepted this idea like, "Ah, a little bit's okay. Doesn't everybody do it? What's the big deal?" And it's like asking the question, "How much poison is it okay for me to ingest?" Like, well, if it's poison, why do we want any of it? And yet I think with pornography, we have adopted that mindset.
