Thanks for linking to the video. Very interesting.
Pornography is a deadly drug, to be sure. I’m learning more and more that sexual addiction, such as pornography addiction, has a very real biological element. Repeated visits to pornographic websites condition our bodies to receive endorphins and enkephalins (chemicals in the brain). These chemicals are highly addictive. We literally carry within us our own source of addictive chemicals.
I wrote a blog about this a while back: http://www.covenanteyes.com/blog/2008/01/24/brain-chemicals-kirk-franklin-and-walking-trees/
I’d love to hear your comments.
Also, if you know ANYONE who is interested, please have them go to http://www.covenanteyes.com. Our accountability software is aimed at helping people find authentic accountability in the relationships around them to help them overcome temptations to view pornography.
Our software isn’t like a Internet filter; it simply monitors where a person goes on the Internet. We create detailed Internet-use reports of every single website visited. These reports cannot be edited or erased (like a computer’s Internet history). We have an up-to-date scoring system that rates sites based on content and includes those ratings on the report. Accountability partners (of that person’s choosing) can then view that person’s Internet activity via emailed reports or on our website 24/7. People avoid viewing porn online because they know they are accountable for what they see.
