Then I got older and never had a serious relationship and wondered if I'd ever meet anybody and get married and have sex. I grew up in a conservative Christian family and never even considered porn.

We often forget that women can have addictions to porn too.

Can we punish someone the same as a "normal" person if he had a genetic mutation that made him twice as likely to commit a violent crime as a "normal" person? I think on the Last Day we're going to discover that a lot of "horrible evils" weren't so evil in God's eyes because of how biologically predisposed the person was (and likely that a lot of "no big deals" were actually horrible evils because of how free and conscious the choice to sin was in the individual sinner).Īnd men aren't the only ones. When I say "scary," I mean it can challenge our whole ethical systems. It can actually be kind of scary how much genetics/biology plays into what we're used to calling "sinful" or "criminal." My future husband has a mental disability that in earlier times would have just got him labeled a "free spirit" and "ne'er do well," but now we recognize as a disability to be worked around with special communication and planning techniques, just like we work around his lactose intolerance. I haven't heard about the biology of addiction and porn per se, but I've studied both formally and informally lots about mental illness and brain chemistry and brain structure and other biology, and socially unacceptable behaviors like addiction, violence, distraction, rudeness, etc.
