    So because normal urges are repressed, people feel guilty, angry and start doing more if it.

    Reminds me of how some of the most rabid anti-gay activists are caught pants down with another boy.

      It’s like the “no fap” fad a few years ago. You could see the same christian arguments against sex, it was pathetic.

          That’s really interesting. I remember being really weirded out by those guys and the “wholesome” group and never really understanding why. Just a feeling of disgust and unease

      have conducted a meta-analysis of research on pornography and concluded that porn use does not predict problems with porn, but that religiosity does.

      I think there’s some important nuance here that isn’t conveyed in the headline. Like I once knew someone who would compulsively browse porn even in inappropriate/risky situations like while they were at work; they did clearly have some kind of problem. But the nature of the problem seemed to be more along the lines of a sometimes-unhealthy coping mechanism for their preexisting mental health struggles than a situation where they started looking at porn and that decision was the cause of the problem, and would have caused the same problem for someone else.
