Pornography is a Trojan Horse sin, because it opens the door to many other sexual sins.
This is a good article and I am very glad he is moving forward in his life with integrity and honor.
All men need to heed his words.
A. because sex sells B. money C. they are one of its primary distributors D. because many if the media moguls are pervs themselves
Companies spend billions using images and video to ifluence people’s decisions so it’s understandable that porn influences people.
Porn will be worse than heroin, crack, and meth combined.
Reminds me of the old joke.
Doctor to patient: "(Sir or Madam...) you're going to have to stop masturbating."Patient: "Oh no, why?"
Doctor: "Well, I'm trying to examine you."

I’m very certain that porn isn’t going away. Won’t deny that some people become addicted to it, but that is true of a lot of things. I also think this article is alarmist by blaming divorce & broken families on porn. The divorce rate peaked in the early 1980s (well before Internet porn) and has gone down significantly since.
The amount of free porn on the Internet is truly stunning. In my youth it seemed like a tiny handful of women did such things. Never dreamed so many would do it so casually.
Even so, this is nothing new. Supposedly, there used to be brothels on every corner in New York City circa 1870 or so. Which, to me, seems worse.

It isn’t hard to figure out.
Men are no longer willing to become work horses in order to attract a female, that only cares about how much money and resources he can provide, for her to live a comfortable life in exchanged for doled-out sex that quickly becomes infrequent and requires more work on his part to get. That’s if it doesn’t stop completely.
What is the base reason for men to even marry to start with? Once the sex dries up, he is still required to work and slave to now provide his “roommate” with a lifestyle she wants or else she will divorce him and take half of what he makes.
So why not keep your money and not have to constantly shove out money for Valentine crap, anniversary gifts, Christmas presents, birthday presents, random surprise flowers, and just get your base fulfillment through porn and date randomly as the mood hits? It doesn’t cost him anything. He gets what he needs and doesn’t have to be tied to someone that will just use sex to control him like so many married guys sadly find themselves realizing long after it is too late.
Men have figured out the game, and are no longer playing.
Covenant Eyes is excellent software and you can have an accountability group to monitor it. It works to break the habit.
Pray America is waking
No big deal.
Keep telling yourself that.

True but the shacking up and splitting up rate is very high, people who would have been married in the 80s and counted in their split up, no longer visible.
Is porn harmful. Have worked with a number of women where lovely, intelligent attractive, willing late 20’s women were ignored by husbands who prefer to masturbate to porn. Porn is easier, a tissue and an internet connection.
Those who argue for the legalization of narcotics should recognize that the inevitable result of eliminating restrictions will be the more pervasive use of them.
The man you describe does not put much thought into his choice of a life partner. Some do not peer beyond the Barbie looks and, therefore, miss important clues about character.
There is enough sex in the movies and on TV
Or at least that's the story the women told you.
Many wives seem to either lose interest in sex after marriage (or, at least sex with their husbands). Some dole it out in miserly doses in exchange for husbands doing things for them (in which case, what's the difference between home and a brothel?).
My viewpoint is, if the wife is willing to do her best to sexually satisfy her husband every night, and yet he still prefers porn, then he has a problem. If she's not willing, then it's her who is the problem.
But let’s be honest here. Are today’s western women really of a high enough quality after a lifetime of feminist propaganda, along with the usual female entitlement mentality, to expect a young guy waste his time and money on trying to find the one that isn’t a nut?
The problem with porn is the damage that it does when children are exposed to it. Their immaturity makes such exposure capable of “warping” their normal sexual identity formation. It warps how they “see” their mother and father and sisters and brothers. It will direct the desires to the unnatural (at that age) and force them to objectify people-—reduce them to their sex organ when it is abnormal during the Latency period where children naturally suppress the sexual instinct for intellectual flourishing.
Sex Education for children was invented by the Cultural Marxists like Adorno and Lukacs to destroy normal sexual formation-—warp it and fixate children in puerile stages-—much like Jeffrey Dammers, John Wayne Gacy, and Charles Manson—who were sexualized and abused in childhood. Trauma in childhood, destroys normal moral formation and creates dysfunctions and perversions and emotionally unhealthy relationships which collapses culture (destroys children in their wake). Only totalitarian systems can exist with the sexualized mindset-—like in Afghanistan where the boys are raised in harems to be raped. They can never “mature”or be “moral”-—base emotions will rule Reason always.
I was just reading about this Death Row inmate who was exposed to hard core pron at age six. It literally destroyed his desires and warped how he “saw” and treated women-—whom he ended up raping and killing when an adult.
When Just Law ceases to be Just, it ceases to be Law. A Civil Society does NOT promote perversions (sodomy) and evil (theft/class warfare), vile behavior in the population....Evil should be punished in a true “justice” (virtue) system. We do have to have “Just Law” which punishes evil and only promotes “virtue” for a civil society.
As Montesquieu stated, it is necessary to promote Virtue for Freedom in Republics for without Virtue, culture will collapse..
