Research finds that porn-related problems are predominantly caused by religious conflict. Clinically, this means people need help, but not necessarily with the porn.
What does it mean that religion, not porn use, predicts porn-related problems?
I mean addiction I don’t know, probably complicated and needs some underlying issues.
But horrible for sex education especially if watched by small kids, %100 for sure. Coupled with watching it secretly because “its porn” and not having discussions about it with adults, it can really warp teens’ expectations of sexual relationships, self image and partner image.
Agree, but I think that’s a separate issue entirely. I think the concept of porn addiction specifically comes up as an excuse for all kinds of depraved acts, from cheating to pedophilia to rape.
It also gives a somewhat conscience-alleviating name to the overwhelming psychological stress that many religious people feel when they experience the cognitive dissonance of enjoying something so “evil” and “sinful”, as the article discusses. An ex of mine, who was raised in a much stricter baptist family, had real, serious trauma from it.
