Sex has never corrupted any one. If there are people who can't handle it responsibly, that's one thing. But to say it turns people into depraved, sex-addicted monsters is preposterous. By that logic, almost every man on earth, apart from those who live in monasteries, should be locked up simply for thinking about it.

Exactly. Except monks think about it even more - that's why they're monks. Pornography is the most widely used sex aid in the world. Pick something , and there will be some small percentage of people who abuse it. But those who look at what's abused as the source of the abuse are wrong. That's like saying wives cause wife abuse.

Let me help you take off those rose colored glasses.

Pornography certainly does destroy people, their families, jobs, faith and relationships.

It is an insidious evil that over time can be additive.

I have seen this up close and personal via a close friend of mine, but for the grace of God, it almost destroyed his life.

He still struggles almost daily. To know this person, you would never guess in a million years.

Only a few become monsters, like Bundy, but it still destroys marriages, families and lives.

The Billboard idea is stupid and typical liberal answer to our society ills, but don't think for a moment it is not a problem.

Pornography is slowly rotting out the foundation of our culture and society

They never said "sex" corrupted people, they said porn does. Porn IS an addiction. I watched my oldest brother become addicted to internet porn, come home from work, never leave the computer. Died shortly thereafter from a heart attack. It took me hours to clean up his computer so our parents and the rest of the family would never find out. To anyone reading this, if you know somebody addicted to porn, try to get them some help. The end of the situation will not be good otherwise. I know whereof I speak. Denial doesn't just apply to alcohol and drug addiction either.
