The person who wrote this had a porn addiction. That's not what we're talking about. The OP asked "Does your DH watch pornography" not whether your DH is addicted to it.

That's like saying nobody should eat cupcakes because some people develop a food addiction after enjoying these tasty treats. Most people can handle cupcakes without going overboard.

I was the male poster.

I specifically said that I wasn’t sure if I was an extreme case or not.

To use your analogy with cupcakes — there are some people who have a food addiction and they become morbidly obese and can’t leave the house.   There are plenty of other people though who are not in an “addiction” but overeat and become overweight.  They then wonder why they have all these problems in life.  You can engage in a behavior that is detrimental to your well being without it becoming an addiction.

Again I go back to — how many threads on this board are about affairs, unhappy marriages, sexless marriages, divorces, and the like?   And all I am saying is that there might very well be something beneath the surface with our use of pornography that is driving some of this in many more cases than people care to admit or realize.  That was certainly the case for me.

The general vibe from the first few posters was that this was all harmless.  I don’t think it is.   [/quote]

C’mon, porn addict. Your position is that “affairs, unhappy marriages, sexless marriages, divorces, and the like” didn’t exist before porn? Have you even read the Bible?

I smell troll.

Of course they existed before.   The question is whether the widespread and unfettered use of porn from a very young age is exacerbating these issues today.   I know from my own experience, I feel like the answer is yes.   [/quote]
