Baywatch star and former Playboy Playmate Pamela Anderson has urged men to stop watching pornography.

The actress and model teamed up with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach - an author, host and TV speaker - to write for the Wall Street Journal about the dangers of pornography.

In the joint op-ed piece, the pair discuss the problems with porn being so readily and freely available, and the negative impact it can have on relationships.

They argue it has a "corrosive effect on a man's soul and on his ability to function as husband, and, by extension, as father".

"This is a public hazard of unprecedented seriousness given how freely available, anonymously accessible and easily disseminated pornography is nowadays," they wrote.

In the article - entitled Take the Pledge: No More Indulging Porn - they urge readers to "understand that porn is for losers - a boring, wasteful and dead-end outlet for people too lazy to reap the ample rewards of healthy sexuality".

They describe statistics surrounding porn use as "terrifying," quoting data provided by the American Psychological Association.

Porn consumption rates are between 50% and 99% among men and 30% to 86% among women, they say, "with the former group often reporting less satisfactory intimate lives with their wives or girlfriends as a result of the consumption".

They describe today's younger generation as "the crack babies of porn" - children "being raised in an environment of wall-to-wall, digitized sexual images".

In a statement released on the Pamela Anderson Foundation website, the 49-year-old said she was glad to join forces with Rabbi Shmuley to raise public awareness of "the innocent lives this has destroyed".

She said: "Something must be done immediately.

"A healthy, loving sexual experience demands both intimacy and respect, both of which pornography addiction destroys."

Anderson is Playboy's most prolific cover girl, having first posed for the publication in 1989.

She graced the cover and centrefold of the magazine's final nude issue last year, after it announced it was ending the tradition of publishing nude photographs due to the availability of free images online.

Anderson has also had two sex tapes leaked, including one from her honeymoon with her then-husband Tommy Lee in 1995.

She is due to make a comeback in the big screen remake of Baywatch, also starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with the film due out next year.

The irony is just amazing...

I'll make sure to ask the AMA to add "soul corruption" to their diagnostic manual.

Sounds like someone is having problems accepting that they're old and irrelevant now.

[s_bushido]

To be fair, back when she was relevant, it took more effort to get your hands on porn.

I'd be interested to see if people like this had anything more than fear-mongering to base their position on, though. Just as likely to cause this disconnect (if it exists) isn't necessarily porn, but the internet itself.

Porn is like anything else, you should never do too much of it.

I don't really consider playboy porn, and how is a stolen private tape her fault?

Don't really care what you consider is and isn't porn. Playboy is infact porn and the tape wasn't stolen unless u got something that proves different.

She made her money by showing off her body and is now telling others not to do so and don't watch it.

[zenkai]

Why did they make the tape?

Hurdur.

After she sued the company that released it? Lots

I think there's a huge difference between a naked body being photographed vs getting plowed by John Holmes.

Also why can't peoples views change? You know a lot of people who help teens get off drugs are people who use to be drug users themselves, those hypocrites!

She is saying people shouldn't watch it and are you acting like someone can't change their position on something after a few decades?

Pretty much, and plus it's been shown with men that squeezing the venom from the one eyed snake is helpful for keeping the prostate healthy. So porn has its benefits.

I thought the same.

I don't make a plate of pasta so someone can steal it, or for someone else to enjoy. So it isn't fair to say a sex tape was made to be stolen, or for other people to enjoy.

"Porn consumption rates are between 50% and 99% among men and 30% to 86% among women"

These ranges... "The percentage of people watching porn is between 0% and 100%".

She can change her views doesn't change the fact shes a hypocrite.

As I said above.

Pretty sure everyone is a hypocrite, to an extent.

The definition of being a hypocrite is saying one thing and doing the opposite, not saying one thing and once doing the opposite.

Shes still using her sexuality to remind in the spot light....that's the Hypocrite part. You know in the movie shes doing that is a reboot of the TV show she was in.....

Baywatch isn't porn

[shadowmouse]

A corrosive effect on my Soul? <bungee wanders off loads up a video and appropriate music>

Notes: Do not drink if watching porn with Soul. Respect will play at a monumentally inappropriate moment. "Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me!" I'm sure beer up the nose is a form of alcohol abuse. The things I suffer for science!

No corrosion observed.

People can change their opinion about something, but it doesn't changes the fact that she's reaped quite a lot of money, fame, and prestige by doing the very same thing she's preaching against.

This is akin to me making a fortune with a cigarette company, and only AFTER becoming super rich, I start preaching off that tobacco is bad for you, and you shouldn't smoke.

[GennGreymane]

She hasn't been relevant in years
