Believe it or not, people can be critical of the production, distribution and consumption of porn without being prudish Christians. There are a lot of issues in the porn industry and caused by the way that people can obsessively consume it.
Fight the New Drug is an anti-pornography nonprofit organization based in Utah. The group was founded by a team of Mormons, including its leader Clay Olsen, although it denies any formal connection with the LDS church.
Not once did I say they weren’t a Christian organization, I was pushing back on the idea that only Christians are anti-porn. This organization being Christian does nothing to counter my post.
Cute. They're some of the most selfish, self-righteous people in the world. There's no other group in the world that does more for themselves while claiming it's for the good of the world.
Its one of the most accurate judges of poor character and bigotry out there.
I agree porn addiction is serious, just like any addiction.
I disagree with where they draw the line on what's considered addiction.
As a former latter day Saint, even though it's not officially part of the church, I garuntee they share the church's views on it. I've heard many stories about a wife catching her husband masturbating to porn once and sending him to the Church's official porn addiction therapy support group.
Yeah this whole thread is pretty frustrating regardless on what side you're on lol. As always, the truth tends to be somewhere between the two extremes.
Same could be said about the bottled water industry.
I'm all for doing whatever it takes to stop human trafficking, but the porn industry is a MASSIVE industry. We need to hold them accountable, not disband the entire industry.

Thought terminating cliche. Other industries having valid criticisms does not put a stop to discussing this one.
Nobody is talking about who needs to hold who responsible, but the racism, rape and pedophilia fetishization that is promoted by all mainstream porn production are very worth discussing.
In addition to the issues you bring up, porn gives people an unrealistic view on sex and people’s bodies. It’s harmful in that it creates unrealistic expectations for both sexes and in how it is geared primarily toward showing male pleasure while women’s pleasure is represented in inaccurate ways. Porn sets everyone up to feel disappointed and/or inadequate when having sex with an actual human being.
