The number one question is how what percentage of people who watch porn are affected in the above ways?
If it’s a large percentage, then the topic should not be “you may have a porn problem” but “Porn causes problems in most people”! Or “Most people will be negatively affected by Porn – don’t watch it”.
Something tells me that porn is addictive, and over time it will bring down morality and spirituality in people. I would like to hear comments on this.
Here is a simpler approach: Do you look at porn? You have a porn problem. Period.
Wake up-Porn is addictive!
I would say that pornography is very definetly addictive, especially for people who have OCD. I knew someone whose boyfriend (w/OCD) started out watching on the computer… this grew into a nightly chat with a mother of 5 in Texas and so on. That’s just one story, in real life that happens to people with this addiction.
Don’t watch porn because it’s bad? really? for some yes I agree but to outright say that it will definitively become an issue is simply ignorance, period.
