I don't find that a useful analogy insofar a narcotics involve physically flooding your system with neurotransmitters that your brain then ceases to make on its own and an equivalent thing is not occurring when people indulge in porn.

I have been online all day, working, gone to myriad sites...written to others, posted on my fb page, engaged the fans, edited photos from a lovely family I worked with the other day and come here to this site a few times I encountered no porn...no porn pop ups or adverts...it has been a clean trip. I don't visit porn sites so I don't get it in my face when I am on the internet the world is NOT full of porn and office loads of women just waiting to steal your boyfriend, husband or get in good with the boss It's called PERSPECTIVE and some people need some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the author of the article's point (if I have understood correctly) is that porn's effects on the brain are far more damaging as an addictive 'substance'. No?

Galatians 5: 22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Luke 6:27-31But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
