The pornography thing about it not being addictive is plain wrong. It has all the same effects as any drug. I saw my first porno when I was 4 and took me SEVERAL years and many heart breaks to break the cycle. What you are saying is great, but its spoken by a man who seems to have never experienced any real physiological addictions. ------------ (edit) There is only one addictive substance that actually requires medical care. So your response to why porno isn't an addiction is plain wrong. By your definition only Alcohol is truly an addiction. You cannot die from any other addiction.

@GospodinStanoje so hi. Thanks for the nice compliment. So my response was to this part 2:28 where he describes what addiction looks like. No one who uses heroine technically needs medical help to get them through. alcohol is the only one that requires medical care (crazy). So he is almost describing DT but applying it to a ton of things. I am there with you. I am no gnostic duelist who separates out the soul from the body. Vice is a vice and can perform powerful works on the persons mind and their body. Porn has several negative affects in the physical world including ED, memory loss, inability to respond properly to yes or no questions, and more (all cited from several university studies). It literally shuts off your frontal cortex. Background: Spent 4 years trying to get off the porn train. Finally broke it. I can definitely tell you its significantly harder for me (cannot speak for others) than getting off Meth and Cigarettes (both of which i did as well). I simply found porn to be so dang hard. By far had the most lasting physical and mental issues for me. The whole they wont do it in front of people. Also not true. People who are addicted only do it in front of others once they reach a certain state. I have seen a man jacking it in public. Once the fallen nature is all that is left, anything and everything is possible.

@GospodinStanoje The limited free will is the idea of Umbrella calvinism. Its that God has his ultimate will, which will happen (i will die at 72) but then there is his sub-malleable will. I was designed for computers, but I could of very well become a mechanical engineer. What small / medium / large decisions were predestined vs which are our limited freedom in a world controlled. I don't subscribe to we are just biology and we dance to it.
