Porn IS a complex topic for sure. There are both responsible and irresponsible ways to go about that, and I suspect that there will never be unanimity of opinion on what that way should be.

However, it is also true that the Family Research Council automatically condemns all sex outside of heterosexual marriage--and much within it, contraception, women being in control of their own bodies, many kinds of sexual fantasy, and in particular highlighted in this article, the safest sex of all: Masturbation. Fundamentalist Christianity, and conservative Islam, very specifically fixate on sexuality as a uniquely powerful indoctrination weapon for making perfectly alright people feel deviant, sinful, and deeply shameful, so that they are scared into obeying religious leaders, desperate for rescue from their indoctrinated shame that they confuse with damnation.

The scary term "sex addiction," widely talked about and accepted as real is a constructed notion. It i not real in any concrete sense, any more than food addiction is. Obsession is a more accurate term. Both eating and sex are biological appetites we are programmed to have naturally. They are fundamentally different from gambling, or chemical addictions or shopping addictions, activities that one expects to actually be elective. The industry built to treat sex "addiction" falsely accepts without any skepticism the idea of sex as fundamentally dangerous. To be sure, there IS unhealthy compulsive sexual behavior, but that is different from an actual addiction, and these types of groups' determination to portray most sexual diversity as depraved and disordered actually fuels the shame that contributes to harmful compulsions. People's libidos and sexual preoccupation will wax and wane in life; that is normal. As soon as it scares someone, it is that much more likely to become a powerful, fear-inspiring idea that might develop into an obsession.
