Drawing the Same Conclusions About Porn

“It’s like I’ve got this ‘other woman’ … and the ‘other woman’ is porn.”

A line from a New Yorker magazine article on how porn is affecting the American male libido. The author of the piece, growing tired of how porn affects his live relationships, finds the value of setting it aside.

Caution: Though it’s in a mainstream publication, this is a pretty blunt piece, so you’ve been warned. But it’s striking to read a secular article that ends up raising the (nearly) same alarms about porn as someone guided by the Bible.

It’s almost as if the Bible’s prohibitions on this subject aren’t motivated by a prudish fear of sex but by a practical desire to protect it like a precious gift. Hmm….
