Someone I know is getting divorced because he is "addicted" to porn. While obviously I don't (want to) know exactly how much porn he is watching, the incredibly conservative Catholic family he belongs to thinks watching ANY porn is an "addiction."
He then outs himself on Facebook, includes a shared infographic about porn statistics and why it is oh-so-bad. He doesn't mention the divorce online but I know it's happening.
Another conservative Catholic family member who loves to shove her beliefs down everyone's throat comments that she's "proud that he is able to face his addiction" and he responds with "I decided to stop being ashamed, if my story can help one man it's worth it."
Only a Christian can create a situation where guilt and shame changes their perception of reality, then they can use their "shameful" behavior to make themselves look like a martyr to ease their sense of shame.
Why not just accept that human beings have natural sexual urges, and that masturbation has always been part of human nature, instead of turning your life into a sick cycle of shame, guilt, and redemption that only your God can give you.
Unfriend.
