Suzie Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 A struggle doesn't necessarily mean an addiction but can surely lead to it or the term is being used to describe addiction. We do not know until the OP explains more. Having said that, it is equally dangerous. Perhaps the key differences is that when it becomes a habit, the person seems to be in control of when to stop. When we talk about addiction, we are talking about someone unable to control it, and becomes totally dependent on it to cope with daily life. Quote
Suzie Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 People engaging in pornography is not the norm. Are you talking generally or you are talking about Church members? Quote
Guest Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 Are you talking generally or you are talking about Church members? Generally or Church members. The LDS Church is not the only religion that condemns pornography. Islam (with the largest membership) condemns it and so does most Christian Churches with Roman Catholics (with the largest membership) leading the pack. Therefore, it is not normal to engage in it.

Normal or common? Pornography is very common and religious people are not the exception. Some years ago I believe Deseret News published an article about Utah ranking Number 1 in online pornography subscriptions at higher rates than the rest of the US. Not everyone is "Mormon" in Utah but we can safely say there is a big percentage. Quote

That study doesn't mean it's common unless it includes how many people in how many households relative to the amount of people in the state use it, and shows it to be a percentage that renders it common. Also, that study was shown recently to be highly inaccurate. Quote
