“I know of men who get plenty of sex with a willing wife and still do porn”

Do you know if this man in question is one of them? Does the article provide sufficient evidence to make this determination? No, it doesn’t.

This gets at what I said earlier. I’m sorry you don’t get what I was saying, but blaming the man exclusively isn’t going to help him get off porn. What’s the ultimate goal here? Feeling good about yourself or helping someone overcome an addiction? You can’t tackle the root problem without first determining what the problem is.

Not all alcoholics drink for the same reason, and treatment can’t start until you address the actual problems.

I blame the man exclusively.

He is not a victim here. That victim mentality make s me want to puke.

He is CHOOSING to use porn. It's his CHOICE to engage in it, just like any sin is a choice.

Just like lying is a choice and stealing is a choice.

Nobody is holding a gun to the guy's head and forcing him to watch porn.

Granted he has issues that need to be addressed, nevertheless, he has made the decision to go that route and can blame no one but himself and a real man wouldn't. There is such a thing as taking responsibility for one's actions and until he does, he will never be free. And based on the information provided in the article, he doesn't want to man up and do so.

So his wife is left to suffer and flounder and look outside her marriage for support and validation.

What a man.
