Pamela Anderson Wants Men to Stop Watching Porn Because It's a ''Public Hazard" and for ''Losers''

Model tells readers "understand that porn is for losers–a boring, wasteful and dead-end outlet for people too lazy to reap the ample rewards of health sexuality."

Pamela Anderson is obviously no stranger to posing for some racy photos, but the former Playboy model has decided to launch a new pledge that might shock you—she wants men to stop watching porn.

Anderson co-wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal along with celebrity rabbi Shmuley Boteach titled "Take the Pledge: No More Indulging Porn," urging 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 health sexuality."

The pair continuously call pornography a "public hazard of unprecedented seriousness" throughout the piece, and seem to have been inspired by the recent sexting scandal with Anthony Weiner (his wife Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Clinton's closest aide, just announced she's leaving the former congressman).

"And if anyone still doubted the devastation that porn addiction wreaks on those closest to the addict, behold the now-shattered marriage of Mr. Weiner and Huma Abedin, a breakup that she initiated, reportedly, in shock at the disgraced ex-congressman's inclusion of their 4-year-old son in one lewd photo that he sent to a near-stranger," the pair wrote.

Yes, that's not necessarily pornography, and they make note of that, but they use this specific scenario as an example to show the effects naughty behavior can have on a family.

The co-authors continued, "From our respective positions of rabbi-counselor and former Playboy model and actress, we have often warned about pornography's corrosive effects 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."

Anderson and Boteach explain that men who regularly access porn are "less satisfactory intimate lives with their wives or girlfriends as a result of the consumption," and add that the future generation are going to be so saturated with sexualized images that they'll become "crack babies of porn."

And that pretty much sums up Pam's anti-porn PSA. Will you take the pledge?
