"A majority of self-identified sex and porn addicts in treatment centres are religious, usually heterosexual, and mostly married white men," Ley writes. "Similarly, sex addiction therapists tend to come from sexually moralistic and religiously conservative backgrounds."
It would seem that religious brainwashing is one of the stronger candidates to blame in this regard. Not that this comes as much of a surprise to anyone that grew up in such an environment.
Katie, for someone that has spent a lifetime avoiding porn, it sure does seem like you're discussing it a lot lately.
I want to talk about that NYT anti-porn thing. Did you read that? It kept going back to facials, and anal. Facials and anal. Facials, anal, facials, anal. The children! They're trying facials now! And anal! Many have tried it! They saw it in porn. Well not children. The article says 18-24 year olds.
For some reason NYT Magazine is alarmed that many 18-24 year old "children" have tried facials or anal. Not all of them. Not most. Like 40%, I think it said. Still. That's a lot of 18-24 year old children who might have had a facial.
Something Must Be Done, NYT Magazine informs us.
The assumption in the whole thing is that all the kids are hetero cis kids, right? And that's the tragedy, right? It's teen girls who might be the, uh, victims? Of facials and anal. So I just want to know what they are saying about gay kids. Is it ok if 18-24 year old gay "children" have facials? Or try it once.
And like, what is the alternative? Does NYT Magazine think facials are degrading but being penetrated is the wholesome and never degrading alternative? Or what? Kind of seems like a relatively safe option considering other alternatives.
It doesn't really say. This article just keeps telling you about facials and I guess it's up to the audience to realize that some 18-24 year olds who try this (because of porn!) are the Worst Thing Ever?
Did anyone else read that? Explain it to me. What is their deal with facials and anal?
100% of "porn addicts" I've met were evangelical Christians. Read the Stranger articles on Mark Driscoll/Mars Hill to see how the system continues. It's not much different than "gay conversion" thought
"Right-wingers like Sevier hate it because Jesus, radical feminists like the late Andrea Dworkin hate it because patriarchy." Wait. Are you saying that "Jesus" and "patriarchy" are equally bad reasons to oppose something? Really?
So in other words, porn is like the Clintons.
But please keep on with such pronouncements, they'll serve both as fair warning to women and an excuse for your continued lack of success.

Shorter @5: "Only a man who hates women would say that".
There. I fixed it for you.
