“This is separate from my life, it won't affect how I view the world”

One obvious problem for many porn users is the conflict between their stated belief in equality and respect for women, and the material they're watching in private. McCormack Evans says he used to exist in a "kind of double consciousness. For that half hour when I was watching porn I thought, 'This is separate from my life, it won't affect how I view the world.' But then I realised it did.”

--from a Guardian article about growing concerns over pornography, from a secular perspective. The article includes comments from Robert Jensen, a UT professor of journalism, and author of Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity. Caution: The article can get a little graphic, but the critiques of porn from the men interviewed are spot on.
