You are preaching to the choir here. Yes I can believe porn addiction only exists in the kinds of the those in the religious community. I’m still trying to provide a larger picture to answer the question of why the government doesn’t tell you to masturbate every day.
Porn, for some people in contexts, has had drawbacks. Those people, in some contexts, have curtailed the valorization of porn writ large. Maybe this campaign has biased me to a degree as well.
I have never been to a Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting but I’m not about to write the whole idea off entirely.
