- This makes it rampant, creating a silent epidemic affecting relationships, well-being, and spiritual life.
Impact on Relationships
- Pornography reduces capacity for attachment and empathy, especially in men.
- It increases the arousal threshold, making real-life intimacy less satisfying.
Distorting Natural Drives
- Pornography's danger lies in distorting the natural sexual drive, a strong motivator.
- This distortion makes it hard to escape, similar to food addiction, as it taps into innate desires.
