OCCASIONALLY buying a magazine or renting a movie is in no way an addiction. It only becomes a problem if it's upsetting the spouse or partner. These people are idiotic twats. Even then, why not couples or individual therapy instead of a "boot camp"? Or an internet filter? Or just, I don't know, talking? Just when I think I've read about every kind of fundie weirdness, something new turns up.

I think it's when you have ten HDDs full of the stuff that you might want to question yourself, and even then, I'm not sure it's bad until it interferes with yoru life. Friend of min has 1.5 Terabytes of various porn saved. Though that still isn't a problem as it's mainly just what he collects. As he's said he has some stuff that you just can't get anymore. Looked at that way he's actually doing a favor to humanity by ensuring an archive of pornography survives for future generations. Also, I think the main reason the fundies are so against porn and sex is control. They needed to have something to make a sin so they could make people feel bad. It had to be something that everyone does, something that people would still do even if you told them not too, and something simple to point out. Sex, porn, etc. fit the bill nicely.

Sometimes it seems like porn is the only sex life I have. I know I'm being angsty, but dammit, after being dumped by a girl I really care about I'm going to be angsty.

Yeah, 'boot camp' for porn addiction just seems like overkill to me. But then again, the fundies tend to think that the proper 'cure' for anything--from sexual 'dysfunctions' to insubordination to atheism--is hard labour and long hikes in the rain and sleep deprivation. After all, once they've broken you down and beaten you, you'll believe anything they tell you! Vene--*big hugs* I'm sorry, that really sucks. *hugs again*

Also, 'boot camp' is one of those phrases those groups love, because it has those military connotations - except, you know, there's not going to be any actual killing, it'll be like in the movies! Oh, and it's a chance to bully and push people around without repercussions.

And if sperm are sacred, what about the ones released unintentionally? You know, like say, nocturnal emissions? A succubus came to him in his sleep and his body was too weak to reject her. He must pray for forgiveness and the strength to resist temptation next time.

Do they really consider every sperm to be sacred? I think that masturbation is akin to genocide. it helps me

Every sperm is sacred my friend, every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate. Let the heathens spill theirs on the dusty ground, God will make them pay for each sperm that can't be found. Bloody catholics, filling up the bloody world with bloody kids they can't afford to bloody feed.

No, no, by all means go further. What would a thread about a porn addiction be without PORN?

Am I the only one who, when first reading the thread title, thought "You mean there's a boot camp for getting you addicted to porn? Sweet!"
