This is an excellent book by a regular, successful businessman (ironically or fittingly, he was in the fledgling, mid-20th-century computer industry) and family man who became a porn addict and lost his job, family, everything. He has lots of good advice for recovery (but not quite as much for prevention).
He calls our nation "Porn Nation" (because the first generation who grew up with internet porn is coming of age). This is a step-by-step profile of how it happens (and it doesn't happen overnight). He also makes some chilling predictions about the future:
1. hypersexual media content +
2. enabling technologies =
3. sociosexual pathologies in a great number of what would have otherwise been sexually well-adjusted individuals
The author now devotes his life to taking his anti-porn message to college campuses and all around the country (even debates reguarly with ex-porn star Ron Jeremy). He has been on Oprah.
Thank you for shedding some light on this addiction. This problem is eroding the moral fiber of our country. It's good to know the addiction can be conquered. But, I agree that we need more on prevention.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on "Porn Nation." Porn is forcing us to live and teach Theology of the Body to kids at the youngest ages. (How God is bringing good out of evil!) See? JP2G is still our good Papa even beyond the grave!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. Taruhan Bola
