Addiction to anything is bad and will destroy you. Addiction to religion has killed more people and more marriages than porn ever will.

What people have to realise is if we were made by God then he made us as we are. That's a creature that enjoys sex, enjoys masturbation, enjoys the climax. It releases chemicals into our body that makes us feel good. He made us that way to ensure our survival.

He also made us to be attracted to the best of our species. So we reproduce the best and fittest.

Religion has killed many people, including Jesus. He hated religion. Your reasoning is fallacious. Enjoying something doesn't justify the something as good and right (or as bad and wrong).

i say yes to pornography atleast three times a day, and i dont feel bad at all :3 lolololol but seriously fuck this shit, i watch pornography and guess what, my girlfriend who never watched it cheated on me and i was completely faithful to her, so saying no to pornography for "love" is bullshit. And i suppose saying no to pornographic material would include your beloved holy bible, as the story of Lot is very, very raunchy with incest and whatnot, so this contradicting bullshit is just idiotic

@Dirufan69

Of course you would say yes to pornography, because you're addicted. You would never betray your love for pornography and all you believe it has done for you. A crack addict says yes to crack, but that doesn't mean it's good. Likewise a rapist would say yes to rape, yet it still remains that rape is never good.

If you're girlfriend had no objective standard for faithfulness, why would you expect her to be faithful? We are unfaithful by nature. You were unfaithful to her as well.

@OtherGonzo

According to who? You?  "Professionals"? Psychologists? What is the objective standard of whether an action is moral or immoral?

What are you going to do about your addiction to religion? --It's far worse than porn.

I need to win this battle against porn. I feel like I can't do it. Will anyone help me?

Also it is easy to see that porn is addictive and alters brain function when a regular porn user attempt to quit using porn. They have great difficulty quitting and always relapse, and during the abstinence phase can suffer withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, mood swings, anxiety, etc. Now if porn was as neccessary to life as food than that would make sense, but porn is not a requirement for a health life.

[peerless77]

Many people don't realise that all that porn imagery gets stored in the subconscious mind and affects the way the brain functions in terms of interpersonal relationships, moods, self esteem etc. Also the brain of a regular porn user becomes dependent on the dopamine rush of looking at highly stimulating porn images and videos. This may cause life outside of porn to seem less pleasurable than it could be, due to low dopamine and downragulated dopamine receptors, similar to stimulant abuse.
