Porn does have many bad effects on society. The other side of the coin is that serial killers may actually be less common now than they were in the past. It’s a complicated question. There are many different factors that could account for it, but porn may be bad for normal people, yet provide the truly depraved an alternative outlet for their obsessions. I’m not defending porn. I’m just saying that this is something that should be looked into.

Well, this Needs ew Yorker says dawg

Once I hear someone pontificating on what any or all religion should teach I’m gone.

Have a catechism, humble group of learned theologians and a copy of the 10 commandments

Porn is extremely damaging so he also did not do research

It is extremely addicting and is n enormous societal problem now that it is on the internet

It in fact is considered adultery by common sense, logic and Catholic teaching - so, yes, clergy who engage are engaging in sin-

That “rewiring” issue is VERY salient. Before spam filters came out, I had a work e-mail which was just simply published on the internet. And I was e-mail admin. So pretty much, I saw spam at its ugliest.

I cannot believe that men have natural inclinations towards what those spam ads showed. Who wants to watch a donkey have sex with a woman? And SO much of it highlighted that the sex was coerced... or was incestuous of a nature. Why do I care how big the GUY’S uh, equipment is?

But I tell you what... there was a comedian who joked about having had sex with his wife when she was painting, and now he gets turned on whenever she pulls out a paint brush. I think Everybody Loves Raymond even had a bit about how Debra didn’t want to have sex, even after he did the dishes, and he was kinda wierded out because he realized that doing the dishes made him uh, stand at attention. After several years of marriage, I TOTALLY BELIEVE THAT.

I know how insistently public schools push kids to be gay. But I can’t help wonder if the explosion of bisexuality is porn-watchers being trained to associate having sex with seeing same-sex bodies.

Moral relativism is a curse. Too many “conservatives” shy away from moral issues and the culture war. Let’s not talk about abortion if it turns away Gen Z and women.

for the record, I actually saw one study which did show that consuming porn made people much more “accepting” of homosexuality.

Prager is Jewish, but he’s not up to date on the teaching of the Jewish messiah.

As a "Jew" (he isn't particularly observant, but whatever), he ought to know that the sin of "wasting seed" is VERY serious in Judaism. Judah's son Onan was killed by God for "wasting his seed upon the ground" instead of causing his beautiful wife to become pregnant and ruin her figure.

Wasting Seed The Worst Sin in the Entire Torah "

Yeah, I saw it also. You still had hair. You didn’t need glasses. No wrinkles back then. And still most of your teeth. It’s heart breaking to see how downhill you went.

You are correct. I do think congress has enough with abortion and transgender to pass bills on porn at least until after the election. Yes social issues are important, but they need to do a budget (beyond debt limit) and other things as well. The republicans do not need to be known as the nanny police. It’s getting pretty close as it is.

When you make 10-20 thousand a month as an influencer, you give the audience what they want. The sad part is it was invented in the first place. (Social media is a menace).

Good question. I can’t think of who he is at all. I’m to lazy to look him up.

The internet didn’t invent porn. It has amplified it exponentially, as its mal effects, which add up to far more ruined lives and souls than those impacted by serial killers.
