I agree. Excellent article, and a topic too often swept aside when it is still a growing and pervasive issue. Thank you for writing about it, and for those who encourage discussion.

Excellent article. No comments? Because no one wants to discuss this in the church. We still hang on to the ridiculous belief that if we ignore the issue of porn use with young and old alike, and pretend it's not happening, it will just go away. No it won't! As an addict living in recovery and as an ARP missionary, I know there is a real problem, and almost all men, and most young people, will not be honest about their porn use with spouse, parents, or bishop. That could change with some open and honest discussions in our wards and stakes. It's time to let go of the fear and shame around this and be willing to actually do something to help heal our brothers and sisters.
