you don't have to believe in the theology to have beliefs influenced by a religious culture. everyone knows pornography can meet criteria for individuals' behavioral problems, but there is no credible proof for pornography's unique and exceptional ability to inspire such. if all men watch porn, and all men treat women poorly does that mean its porn's fault? or maybe we live in a misogynistic culture whose media production reflects that?
scapegoating a certain kind of media production & consumption for a wide range of structural problems with way more consequential antagonists is missing the target. women's liberation is not a personal moral struggle between men & skinflicks, or men and prostitution for our historical analogue---'progressives' banning prostitution to 'help women' put millions of people in jail, underground, and empowered abuse. how about we give porn performers the workplace safety & economic security to decide for themselves what form the industry takes/should it exist?
This isn’t an argument made by religious people. If you don’t think it fits the bill for behavioral addiction then good for you, but for many it really tripped off their lives. Kids messing up their brains because of what they’ve been exposed on the television doesn’t seem exactly what one would call healthy. Plenty of men are addicted to it, double blind studies weren’t possible because researchers couldn’t find men who didn’t watch TV. Obviously, you’re free to partake in the industry and all, but it’s one of the most exploiting ones out there. It has had an impact on men’s view on women and has objectified them further, not to speak of minorities. It has been only allowed to proliferate because of the alienation present in late capitalist societies.
