'Today's users can force its release by watching porn in multiple windows, searching endlessly, fast-forwarding to the bits they find hottest, switching to live sex chat, viewing constant novelty, firing up their mirror neurons with video action and cam-2-cam, or escalating to extreme genres and anxiety-producing material. 'It's all free, easy to access, available within seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,' she said.

I know a certain researcher who's been a-peekin' in my window.

Not to be gross but if a man masturbates too much they won't be as interested in sex. There is no contradiction.

I wish I could disagree with this, but I believe it.

This is exactly the opposite of what we have been told for decades: pornography leads to rapes, child sexual abuse, etc. etc.

I do believe this article, as there is an air-brushed perfection in all online content - not just pornographic, that leads to impossible expectations - nobody can live up to it.

However, I’d be surprised if this is limited to just males.

This doesn’t sound unreasonable unless you remember the “scientists” were saying the same thing about Playboy magazine 30 or 40 years ago. Back then it was the image of the perfect woman that would make the average woman unattractive to men. It’s amazing that, as you get older, there truly is nothing new under the sun.

Porn is a *victimless* crime?

I don’t think so.

It’s about time someone demonstrated that. Sad to say, it’s pretty pathetic that this self-centered reason might be more effective in stopping the use of porn than the fact that it’s just plain wrong.

I hate to say it, but the male vs female dichotomy in the pornography debate is IMHO bogus. Just read Romans chapter 1, verses 24 to 32. It's abundantly clear that men and women alike become addicted to sexual stimulation.

The idea that women "feel" and that men "look" is laughable. If that were true please explain why women's fashion is so important. Or explain the almost feral reaction women express towards those "exotic" men dancers.

Or make a brief perusal of "women's literature", either the high class erotic, or the supermarket pulp variety.

The point I'm trying to make is that pornography is not so much the issue, it's an expression of deep, deep, sinful human nature that knows no so called "gender" boundaries.

Most discussions I've heard (radio, books, magazine, sermon, etc - from a Christian point of view) have been hopelessly compromised by fundamental errors. These include presuppositions arising from imaginary ideas about "Women" (usually male prejudice - today called sexism), and errors in analysis, and errors in putting together "solutions".

What is missed altogether is that the solution is Christ and Him crucified. He is our transformation - "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." (1 John 3:1-3) And that goes for both men and women.

When we sit at Mass, or Protestant "breaking of bread", we are to discern the body and blood of the Lord in the elements. We are to, as the writer of Hebrews said, see Jesus, not as we imagine Him to be but as He really is: According to the Scriptures ( 1 Corinthians 15:3&4). The writer to the Hebrews said this: "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." (Hebrews 2:9)

We "see" Jesus in the Scriptures, reading in faith, informed by the Holy Spirit. As Jesus said, "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32) Jesus is our transformation.
