Pornography: Formula for Despair

Strange. Personally, it always cheers me up.

Its unremitting aim is to bring about a condition of utter shamelessness through the gradual annihilation of authentic personality.

Oh, puh-LEAZE....

I don't know how anyone can write this sort of hyperbolic twaddle with a straight face.

So porn has an "unremitting aim", eh? It's a big conspiracy. I see...

And it leads to the "annihilation of authentic personality"? Wow, not even lobotomies and electroshock can achieve that, pictures of naked people must really be the hard stuff...

Although it is true that some people can be obsessed with porn to the point where it overrides their rationality and leads them to uncontrollable knee-jerk emotional behavior -- like the author of this tirade, for example.

I've seen more people messed up by ingrown holier-than-thou prudery than by an enjoyment of sexually-oriented pictures.

In my (honest) experience in life, it's been the other way around. Most I know who are heavily into porn have had poor marriages and poor relationships.

Funny how you porn champions have to slam people of faith. Notice no one has preached on this thread. It was strictly the effects as described in the article. I guess, though, when you cheer porn it shouldn't be surprising that you're hostile to religion.
