Dr. Laura Schlesinger said several years ago that the pornography on the Internet overshadowed and cancelled out the good that the medium would otherwise have provided.

He has seen men spend $200 a day on Internet sites. With the thousands of *free* porno sites out there, this kind of spending is mind-boggling!

This is so true. I know guys who were so obsessed with internet porn they almost lost their wives. It really is a serious issue.

I don't believe a word of that sex "addict" stuff. The whole thing is a way to rationalize bad behavior. The way things go today, it's a million times easier to "admit" that you're an addict. Instead of being called a pervert, people will immediately rush to you for support, have a good cry, and send you on a two-week vacation for "rehab". When you come back, it's bad form for people to talk bad about you since you are now a "former-addict" (one of the latest cannonized victim groups). The whole thing is an easy out for a bad behavior.

Hey, if you want to get yourself into a high growth field, get into sex addiction counseling. It's only going to get worse in this country.

Pornography and lack of morality are a serious problem, today. My ex had a problem w. sex/pornography addiction, which escalated (assuming he ever was as faithful as he said) into cheating and eventually leaving the kids and me for someone MUCH younger. I have no doubt that he continues to have pornography problems, but she is much more dumb and naive than I ever was, and it will probably be some time before she catches on. Pornography is not the root of the problem- he would have been a jerk even without it- it just made him an even bigger jerk than he would have been.

Do you keep secrets about your sexual or romantic activities? Yes, when friends ask inappropriate questions about my married sex life I refuse divulge any details.
Do your sexual activities include the risk, threat or reality of disease, pregnancy, coercion, or violence?
Yes sex with my wife carries the unfortunate risk of pregnancy.
Uh oh I'm a sex addict.

Interesting article. The 'Net is addictive, no doubt about it.
I'm not sure that the negative aspects (porn, etc.) outweigh the good (a more informed populace, for example, thanks to sites like FR).
But the computer does exert a powerful pull, and when we're sitting here typing, we are not spending time with our families, nor are we outside, walking in the woods or on the seashore, enjoying God's gift of creation.
jmho. please, no flames. :)
