This might be a problem that concerned people should care about, but it certainly isn't a problem that the government or one dime of government money, should care about. Doctors like to say the problem is an "addiction" because they can seek to get paid by insurance for "treatment". The afflicted would be happy to say it's an addiction because having been caught a few times it's an apt excuse for their lack of moral willpower. Just a load of stuff.

We're already spending trillions in governmental and non-governmental money trying to compensate for the breakup of American families which is caused in no small part by extra-marital sex, which has been encouraged by the destruction of community standards. And this cost is small compared to the cost of lost souls.

More libertarian nonsense.

"[I]t certainly isn't a problem that the government or one dime of government money, should care about."

I'm not really seeing anything here that is about gov't spending, maybe I missed it.

Cripes, with all my many problems, at least I'm not a sex addict!

But, seriously, I have not doubt that for many people this is a serious problem. I thought this was a good article, thanks to the original poster.

Moral willpower will only take you so far. As someone who beleives porn to be destructive and something to stay away from, I was able for many years to stay away from it by my own willpower. But it is such a pervasive thing in our society that you can't just "stay away from it," forever. It is so subtly seductive, especially for men, that you don't realize you're hooked until you can't go online without going to a chat room or sex site. After a while you lose any sense of wrongdoing and it pretty much becomes part of your life.

Ok, sermon over. See you in the Yahoo BDSM room.
