I'd say that porn addicts fall into two camps. Either they are content with wanking to harder and harder core porn, or they are the sort that isn't happy just wanking; they need a woman to enact their fantasies upon. As you say, sex with a woman (or a child in the case of paedos) is not the same as masturbation and they know it all too well.

This is how I view the incel phenomenon. They could wank to porn all day, but they *need* a woman to have sex with. They hate that they don't have a gf to have sex with.

On the other hand porn may decrease predatory behavior by some men not being able to control themselves on the streets, but this 'positive' side effect doesn't outweight all the negative effects we are currently seeing in societies.

It's scary how prevalent porn addiction is in society. I've tried talking about it with my male friends and I just got laughed, they seem to think that *not* watching porn is weird, and that it's completely harmless.

I'm crazy for making the suggestion that porn corrupts the minds of those who use it. That it's part of a wider cause of increased sex crimes. That it's part of a general degradation in the quality of especially men but also women. That it creates relationships based on lust rather than love.

I'm also crazy for suggesting the possibility that the Zoomers' obsession with sexual identity is the result of porn exposure from a very young age.

No public figure will denounce it because most people are addicted to it. It would be a very unpopular thing to say.

Thinking about sin as a variety of poverty is helpful. It allows you to see why Jesus has such tender mercy for sinners. Sin is poverty — easily the worst kind of poverty. And we are all sinners.

The worst sinners are the most in need. We may desire to wish evil upon them. But when you realize they are the most in need of our help, it becomes easier to pray for them.

Who prays for the worst sinners? Probably not a lot of people do. But it is what Christ wants us to do.

I hope this helps
