Guglielmucci Not the First Christian Music Artist to Battle Porn Addiction

Nonsense, PP. Claiming it's 'addictive' is merely the losers way out of making a simple choice for themselves not to look at it. Give people the opportunity to use that as an excuse and they will. Every man knows that if he beds down one woman after another he's going to have his character questioned, at least by Christian folks. So what does he do? Of course, he simply says "It's not that I WANT to sleep with all these women, I'm just ADDICTED!" It's garbage, and every sane person knows it.
And your comment about not knowing if I'm 'of greater concern than the other 90%' merely reveals the kind of talk-show style victimization mentality that has poisoned so much of evangelical thinking in this country. You honestly think that because I immediately grew bored with watching idiotic, mindless grinding as a teenager than there's something WRONG with me? I think that reveals more of your pathology than it does mine.
So porn outsells all the major sports revenue in the country, huh? Not only have those statistics been seriously questioned, but it proves nothing about your whole point. Sex does sell, not because it's addictive but quite simply because people like sex, and in a country where traditional marriage has been largely abandoned and moral common sense is as rare as every other form of intelligence, people will simply give more attention to sexual imagery than normal. They aren't addicts, just deviants (if you care for that old fashioned terminology).
It didn't help that for decades the church - contrary to the revisionist history they like to engage in nowadays - was adamant in proclaiming that sex was a base, ugly act that no decent person should ever want to engage in beyond impregnating their wives every few years. I'm sorry, but it took the unabashed success of Hugh Hefner to force Christianity to revise it's attitudes and start rethinking all the negativity they helped to foster. Some choice, huh? Fundamentalists preaching a neo-Gnostic self-denial or a hedonist preaching self abandon. America is simply a country that never had a culture where the love of good healthy enjoyable marital sex was widespread, as did the Christian cultures of, say, the Netherlands under Calvinist influence or Germany under the Lutherans. We've been indoctrinated with nothing but extremes on both sides. I'm glad that modern evangelicalism is trying to do the right thing (at last) by preaching the goodness of healthy marital sex, but they've also bought into a TON of contemporary psychotherapy hogwash, including the willingness to blame every personal flaw on outside forces.
Porn addiction? No such thing. Just people with bad cultural understandings of sex going along with the crowd, and lacking the character and discipline to think, and act, for themselves.

JS,
I love your complete lack of argumentation and the way you automatically consider yourself correct. Why bother with debate when simple arrogance will suffice, huh?
And please realize, I understand that some things can be truly addictive, Drugs, medication, alcohol, etc. - things that have an actual effect on your physiology. Pornography is naked people going at it on video. It doesn't get into your bloodstream. It's a habit, and a bad one, not an addiction. People aren't addicted to sports, either (to respond to PP's first email). They may watch too much of it, and make a habit out of watching too much of it, but that makes them jerks, not patients who need to be treated with feel-good therapy.
For goodness sake, people, quit acting like helpless, effeminate sissies and take charge of your life!
I feel like Don Corleone when Johnny was weeping like a wimp, crying "Godfather, what can I do, what can I do?"
And the Don smacked him in the face and screamed "You can act like a man!"
I guess eternal truths can be found in the weirdest places sometimes.

Many people eat pizza. Or bread. Are they addictive? No, they are just enjoyable. So is porn. The whole pornography addiction thing is an invention of conservative fundamentalists. I do not question that Mike may have felt guilty because of watching porn when he was a kid, but who made him feel guilty? Probably his parents (conservative evangelicals of fire and brimstone kind), or his church, or both.

Porn addiction and music can be an interesting combination. However it’s possible that Christian music might have a good effect on the addiction. It is possible that any kind of music can have a positive effect on the addiction.
