This is the article that is most needed at this time in our history. Thank you so much for speaking out the truth and removing the shame and guilt which can empower and drive the addiction. The truth always can set one free and I bet there is not a family in the world who is not touched by this addiction. 50 years ago, people reacted like this when alcoholism was mentioned and now through AA and a more informed societal conscience, people with that disease can more easily find help and not be alone. God works in mysterious ways...thank you for your yes to him, John!

Good God...another “addiction”.Yet another group of “victims”.I wonder how many of these “addicts” might weigh 400+ pounds due to their “addiction” to food.

Unfortunately pornography isn’t relegated to shoeboxes in mom and dad’s closet or the bottom of a stack of magazines on the back of the toilet. It’s not a matter of sneaking around anymore or a fleeting view of a woman’s panties to sate our curiosity.

It’s in our face in the media and advertising. It’s everywhere online from our junk email to pop-up ads. It’s a simple search on any engine or a mistyped URL that exposes us to perversion unlike any known in history.

It’s consuming our children. I took an abnormal sexual psychology course in college that studied the effects of the Internet and the ease-of-access to pornography of all stripes. Exhibitionism and voyeurism are so rampant and pathological today that to even suggest that they’re morally wrong or damaging to the psyche of youth is to elicit sneers and derision for being prudish or “old fashioned.” There’s no mystery in sex or sexuality anymore. With children as young as 10 or 11 being exposed to it, and not just a glimpse of flesh but actual hardcore sexual intercourse, it’s no wonder we’re devolving as a society into this nihilistic, Devil-may-care caste of people who have no value for the institutions of marriage or two-parent child rearing.

The barbarians are inside the gates folks. Ancient Rome fell due to the rot from the inside. Regardless of our want to turn back the clock, the apple has been consumed and God is pissed.

Move to the Middle East. If that won’t cure an addition it will certainly put you in a position where women and their images are forbidden from casual viewing - clothed or otherwise. The penalties visited upon those who violate the local customs are not just shame.

It’s bad, but it is also much worse.

Bad when viewing porno starts crowding your time. Worse when young girls, 17, 16, and younger are taking naked pictures of themselves in their bedrooms and bathrooms, then posting them on popular social media websites.

My mother told me that if I looked at Playboy I’d turn to stone. I didn’t believe her, so I got a copy and looked at it and immediately started getting hard. So I quit right then and there.

I ran into that once.There's a fairly well known website on which you can search the political campaign contributions made by famous,as well as ordinary,people.If you drop one letter in the URL you find yourself at a nauseating porn site.I must admit,though,that the name of the political site is a strange one that lends itself to imagination of the perverted.

The real question, is why do you believe shame should be associated with this, and why do you think it is the devil’s work?

It's even WORSE when a grown man like myself dresses up as a young girl, 17, 16.

DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, *ever* Google “silicone dog toys”.

I was looking for toys for ‘Halla called “Puppy Giggles” that PetSmart used to sell and what I found was the most repulsive thing I’ve ever seen.

The filthy b@stards find a way to pervert *everything*.

[and I never found ‘Halla’s puppy toys..I was so grossed out I was offline for the rest of the day]

I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art not long ago. I now understand why there are so many stone statues there! They must have walked through the 1800s European Art section!

the natural embarrassment that surrounds all things sexual and speak up:

This is where is argument falls apart. There is NOTHING embarrassing about sex, it's the DISGUSTING habit of some people thinking anyone gives a flying flip ABOUT their sex life!

Here's a clue- if anything - sports, alcohol, drugs, sex, music scene or social media - controls your life to the exclusion of life itself, you will eventually receive the Darwin award!

The BIGGEST problem with this generation IMHO, is their TOTAL inability to GROW TFU!

I used to think I had a problem with porn, but it turned out to be just a symptom of wedding cake induced lack of emotional and physical intimacy.

The real question, is why do you believe shame should be associated with this,

Shame: a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety

Most people think sexuality is a unique aspect of our being human...the beauty of the woman's form, the special connection of a man and woman when they make love...

Porn debases all that to it's lowest form...lust...which is completely self centered...and idolization of the creature rather than the creator...

I find when my lady puts out a little more, even a little bit, my interest in porn goes away real fast.

Go figure.

Perhaps it’s not debased at all, but just another aspect of sexuality that is unique to human beings?
