We received the following comment from a recent visitor to our site.  We asked Don Hilton JR, MD a leading neurosurgeon and author of “He Restoreth My Soul” to provide his input and feedback.  Many in the world share the same attitude and belief towards Pornography / Sexual Addiction as our recent visitor.

Please feel to comment.  We are happy to help in anyway that we can.

Greetings,

The assertion of this website is that pornography and the addiction that it causes, creates great havoc. In what way?   Removing religion and long held beliefs regarding marriage and sexuality (neither of which are in accordance with our nature), I don’t understand how pornography in any way harms sexually healthy adults. Drugs by definition will take a perfectly healthy person and kill them, or at best seriously damage their bodies. I have not found evidence that pornography does this in any way. I believe that what I am seeing is a way to make money off of people who don’t really need treatment or providing marginal benefits to someone who should be seeing a psychiatrist for serious psychological issues that manifest themselves through sexual “addiction”. Like treating the symptom instead of the cause, it is of marginal value. Much of your funding could come from churches and right wing moralists if it doesn’t already. “Financial tip of the day.”
