What do you think of the new research results on Porn Addiction?

Question

Myth of ‘porn addiction’ is busted

New York: There is no such thing as porn addiction and those who say it actually ignore the positive benefits it holds, shows research. New study has found very little scientific data — if any at all — to support some of the purported negative side effects of ‘porn addiction’. “There was no sign that use of pornography is connected to erectile dysfunction or that it causes any changes to the brains of users,” explained David Ley, a clinical psychologist and executive director of New Mexico Solutions - a large behavioural health programme. Despite the furore, the use of sexually explicit material explains very little of the variance in adolescents’ behaviours, he added.
Slapping such labels onto the habit of frequently viewing images of a sexual nature only describes it as a form of pathology. According to researchers, it can improve attitudes towards sexuality, increase the quality of life and variety of sexual behaviours and increase pleasure in long-term relationships.
“It provides a legal outlet for illegal sexual behaviours or desires, and its consumption or availability has been associated with a decrease in sex offenses, especially child molestation,” he Ley. “We need better methods to help people who struggle with the high frequency use of visual sexual stimuli, without pathologising them or their use thereof,” wrote Ley.

Answer 1

I could've told you that, the real definition of Porn-Addiction, is just like Game-Addiction, Shopping-Addiction, and any other 'non-addiction addiction' = Lack of Impulse Control.



A behavioral issue where you manage yourself so badly, your behaviors become dysfunctional, and problematic.

Teach a person how to manage themselves better, and all of these disappear quite easily.



The 'positive findings' are a bit of a problem though, because they come with a very big if. It's the big problem of modern-psychology, mirroring to 'prove a point'(basically making an opposite statement, that is just as outrageous as the point you're disproving).



Familiarity with sexuality is positive IF you have a proper sense-of-self, IF you have good behavioral-controls, IF you are MATURE enough to deal with it responsibly.



The OUTLET statement is downright dangerous, both rapists, and pedophiles have MORE desire to act out, when they see porn.



The term 'Use it, or lose it' goes for sexuality, the more sex you have/see, the more you want, so that OUTLET statement is DEAD-WRONG, and a very dangerous suggestion.

The bible tells us that satan goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. I believe porn is one of his ways of snaring his victims. Once you are in it it`s almost impossible to get out of it. You need to get help through a Christian church where they can pray with you and break the strong hold over your life. It`s not something to mess around with. You can through self discipline stop it for weeks and months even years and then suddenly it will come back even worse than before - that is why you need it broken over your life because it is a spiritual strong hold. I am talking from experience because I had similar problems and it destroyed my home and my marriage and nearly my life. Thank God i got a second chance through Him. Jesus is the answer. God bless you as you seek Him to help you solve this problem. I will be praying for you.
