Synthetic Attraction

             Years ago, someone had the clever idea to establish an amazing new silk industry in the United States, so they brought in gypsy moths to create it.  ~ Dr. Judith Reisman

Instead, they ate our trees. The effects were disastrous. It was time to destroy the moths before they destroyed our forests, but pesticide after pesticide didn’t do the job.

“Finally, somebody came up with the very creative erotic concept… to have synthetic but intense smells of the female moths put into little pellets.” said Reisman.

At mating time, the male gypsy moths would seek after the smell of the female gypsy moths. All around them females were fluttering, waiting to be chosen, but the male gypsy moths would continue to float all around, looking for that perfect mate… and finding no one.

“She’s all over the place, but he is not finding her,” said Reisman.

He didn’t find her, because the natural female scent couldn’t compete with the synthetic lab-created smell they had been exposed to.

Eventually, they couldn’t mate and they died, because that synthetic smell completely obscured the natural scent of females, concluded Reisman. “In essence, that is exactly what has been happening with pornography.”

Dr. Judith Reisman, author, historian and activist, likens the impact of pornography to that of the synthetic scent in that 1960s gypsy moth extermination.

Pornography is a brain-changer; it changes the neurological categorization of sexual stimulation to an independent pursuit of physical pleasure rather than a subordinate part of healthy relationship.

Note: In 1994, Playboy sued Dutch tv broadcaster EO to demand the retraction of statements by Dr. Reisman. On air, Reisman essentially accused Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler magazines of producing child pornography, based on the study of three decades of their publications. Playboy lost the lawsuit. In the ruling, Reisman's findings are referred to as: "the uncontested factual findings of Dr. Reisman"
