It's stories like these that frighten men into secrecy and drive the "addiction" (or whatever you want to call it) deeper. The difference between public and private selves leads to serious problems, and the pressure to be publicly "perfect" is really high in our church. People may be right that there is more to the story, but whenever I hear these kinds of stories, I just get really irritated.

You may be correct but the changes are not as permanent as introducing a foreign substance to cause the change, if I understand correctly. Again, this is something Waters could advise us on.

Hubby addicted to porn......

But then again, coming from a Ute, combined with a beer in one hand and ....in the other, it's probably normal behavior.

Publicly perfect? That's a new one.

I really get irritated with people who think a porn addiction is harmless.

Your sensitivity overwhelms me. You could have a career in counseling.

Hmm. We preach the "evils" of "addiction" to porn, yet we do not even address it in clinical proportions. I wonder how much evil we have done by driving it underground instead of addressing all aspects of our sexuality in more positive and healthy lights.

Underaged participation is part of the problem, but there are plenty, innumerable who are of age. And many participate willingly after age. That's not the point. How much of "Mormon" experimenting with it is tied to a sexually repressive culture? What is the sociological literature and psychological literature on the affects of pornography in personal relationships? I don't claim to know, but I'm unwilling to accept carte blanche the cultural declarations of religious leaders who are professionally untrained in this aspect. It sounds probable that some of the participants participate underage and no sane adult would advocate that. And it affects how people view sexuality in probably a too permissive light such that couples receive a distorted perspective of healthy sexuality. But the reason Mormon leadership clamps down upon it is due to its impact on mostly men being able to function with expected cultural norms. Whether these expectations are healthy or not, I do not claim to know.
