first of all the article did not say that masturbation makes you gay, what it stated was that if you nurture gay thoughts you may in turn commit a homosexual act, because 'desire when it becomes fertile gives way to sin'. If you cannot get that correct what hope is there for you?
Because the practice is one "contrary to nature," the masturbator pays a mental penalty.
The habitual practice cripples his social and emotional development, hinders his attaining a healthful outlook and attitude toward the other sex and toward people in general. I
It can 'turn the person inward' upon himself, making him introverted. Or it can, and frequently does, lead into homosexuality, in which the person, not satisfied with his lonely sexual activity, seeks a partner for mutual sex play.
No, nothing about 'gay thoughts'. Just an unequivocal statement that masturbation frequently leads into homosexuality (not homosexual acts, note).
Do you think masturbation frequently leads to homosexuality?
If you cannot get that right, what hope is there for you?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYet none of the 'facts' that you present link porn addiction with suicide.
these are statistics about opinions on pornography. They are not statistics about how pornography effects people with the exception of the latter, 80 percent say they feel fine. Well clearly there is a disparity with those who feel depressed, alienated and or attempt suicide.

Originally posted by Rank outsiderturning inward upon himself and becoming introverted is a thought process is it not? and as masturbation is an act of fantasy it becomes self evident that the article intimates that fantasy through masturbation can lead to a homosexual act. That this is not explicitly mentioned is neither here nor there, its clearly inferred to any rational thinking person.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieBeing a porn addict is not the same thing as being a sex addict.
72% of sex addicts have thought of attempting suicide – 17% attempt suicide
perhaps you should have audited this, CA?
There are many good reasons why being a sex addict might lead to suicide which would not apply to a porn addict.
