Porn Addiction Article

Roaming around my Facebook page this morning, I stumbled across a page that I follow; Pornography Harms. This particular morning they had an article about sexual addiction published by the Daily Beast regarding the epidemic number of American's being diagnosed as sex addicts. They attribute much of this increase to the internet and the ease of accessibility people have to this growing industry. And, when the pornography isn't enough, then prostitution is an option and when 'of age' prostitutes aren't able to give the john that emotional high- trafficked children are at risk. I'd highly recommend you read the article, it isn't very long, it's informative and can be found here.


I think last part of the article, included in bold below, is the epitome of the problem- being wanted. We're a culture of isolated individuals and have become incredibly independent. We're all looking for something, in all the wrong places.

Many are likely to find that “sex addiction isn’t really about sex,” as Weiss puts it; it’s about “being wanted.”

X3LA’s Steven Luff says, “Sex is the perfect match for that. ‘I matter right now. In this moment, I am loved.’ In that sense, an entire culture, an entire nation is looking for meaning.”

To any of you currently suffering from a pornography addiction or feelings of isolation in your search for happiness- Jesus is waiting for you. He is the epitome of the unconditional love that we all so desperately desire. He really does make life so much better here in our temporary world and He is the meaning that many of us are looking for in our lives.
