Pornography is addictive just like drugs are addictive - porn kills the soul.

Pornography is addictive just like drugs are addictive.

"pornography is addictive just like drugs are addictive. One other expert cited in the article is Philip Zimbardo, emeritus professor of psychology at Stanford University. He makes the argument that porn often goes hand-in-hand with videogames and is similarly fine-tuned to be as habit-forming as possible. He then makes the statement,
“Porn embeds you in what I call present hedonistic time zone. You seek pleasure and novelty and live for the moment.”
Now remember the fact that out of the blue the word hedonism appeared in the Wall Street Journal in an article I cited on The Briefing yesterday. Now just one day later, Time magazine brings that ancient competitor to Christianity, hedonism, back into a moral context in an article that appears to ignore that very context. One of the most revealing aspects of this cover story in Time magazine is that even as the magazine and so many people cited within it point to the grave dangers of pornography and the reality of sexual addiction and the harm that it brings into so many lives, they are clear,
“The one thing that these young men are not suggesting is an end to porn, even if that were possible.”
One of the young activist cited in the article said,
“I don’t think that pornography should be legislated or banned or restricted.”
“In any case,” the magazine says, “legislating porn has always been fraught [that means difficult or complicated], and today that’s not just because of the First Amendment but also because of technology.”
One of the other really sad aspects of this article is the documentation of how many 12-, 13-, and 14-year-olds have what is described in the magazine as “access to unrestricted and endlessly novel Internet porn way before they discover that it could potentially have harmful side effects.”
You need to take the word “potentially” out of this. There is no way that pornography can be safely consumed. But this also tells us something else. The entire article, the way Time magazine approaches this, is as if somehow safe is defined merely in physical, in health, or in physiological terms. That is absolute nonsense. What is missing here is the understanding that pornography affects not only the body and not only the brain, but also the soul. But that requires a Christian worldview. And that’s what’s absent in our secularizing culture and that’s why it’s represented in the fact that Time magazine comes out with an article, a cover story on pornography, with a cover image that is itself pornographic; how Time magazine comes out with an article suggesting the problems of pornography, acknowledging even a public health dimension to pornography, but trying to deal with it without any moral dimension whatsoever; an article that documents the danger of addiction to pornography and even its physiological aspects in terms of the male brain and then comes back to argue: but all that having been said, not even those who document the problem want to make pornography anymore restricted not to mention illegal."   Source: Albert Mohler, The briefing:
