#2I am not a christian but I completely agree with this theory. Porn is indeed destroying it.

#3I think that's the first time I've ever read a Catholic publication that I agreed with.

#6Guys, check some scientific studies, you are more prone to masturbation & porn if you are in a relationship than if you are single.

#7I think the article is confusing a variety of different problems. Anyone here watch that old grade B sci-fi movie called Cherry 2000? The idea is that relationships have become so insanely complex that the romance has been completely lost. So, people turn to sexbots for intimate relationships. Porn is our modern day version of the sex bot (at least until actual sexbots appear).
IMO: Porn isn't destroying relationships. Porn is a simple supply and demand product. If there's no demand, it would just go away naturally.
Powerful intimate bonds and the sex that results from that bond is the most amazing experience I've ever had. No porn can ever replace that. It can't even come close. So, the problem must be that true intimacy simply isn't being experienced. Why is that?

#8"Studies show that easy access to free internet pornography is having devastating effects on real-life relationships."
I don't see any link to any study, so I guess we should take this affirmation as... "an article of faith"

#9This reminds me of a piece someone wrote (sorry, can't remember the source) about how to talk about porn with his teenage son. His point was "porn creates unhealthy expectations about what relations should be. I don't say that watching porn is unnatural or bad, but it is bad for you at this point in your life".
It seemed to me a wise way of focusing on the subject.

#10"Q: what does the optimist see in the graveyard ? A: only pluses". I think overall porn is good. It satisfies basic needs of millions of people which would otherwise be forced to "fake entire relationships". It reduces the risk of STDs and unwanted babies. I could bet that in max 2 years after google launches those internet balloons, the third world population growth will just stop.
