Description
Retired anatomist and medical doctor Dr Paul Nah Seang Hoo and his physician wife, Dr Chiam Yoke Choo, recently published a book entitled The Neuroscience of Pornography Addiction made simple: How to treat porn addiction. The book comes at a pivotal time when even our government has begun initiatives to address the issue of pornography viewing among young people, and a new police unit has been set up to monitor traffic at pornographic online sites.
In the past, pornography (porn) was limited to Playboy magazines and blue movie tapes that were difficult to come by. Today, porn is easily accessible on your smartphone via the Internet. Dr Nah agrees that “In the past, we hunted for porn; today, porn hunts us”.
“The Internet is a ‘two-edged sword’ that has evolved into a sophisticated super highway for the dissemination of information. Unfortunately, while we are surfing the Internet for good reasons, when you least expect it, uninvited pornographic materials pop up to entice you,” says Dr Nah.
While some may consider porn to be harmless, for believers, there should be no doubt that porn is unbiblical and evil. Porn causes viewers to look lustfully at the actors, which God views as adultery. In the end, porn hurts not only the addict, but his spouse and children, and the church. Dr Nah explains: “Satan’s strategy is not complicated. He knows the family is the basic unit of the church. If he can destroy families, he can destroy the church. If the church is destroyed, society will be destroyed. And if society is destroyed, the world will be destroyed.”*
One of the most dastardly effects of porn is its link to sex trafficking and sexual violence against women. Adult and child porn is made possible by the fact that many “actors” are trafficked and forced to perform for the camera as modern day slaves. Prior to his execution, Ted Bundy, the famed US serial rapist and killer of the 1970s, revealed in an exclusive interview with Dr James Dobson (founder of Focus on the Family) that porn addiction was one of the key influences that led to his sexual crimes. Hard porn no longer gave him any sexual satisfaction and he resorted to acting out his fantasies.
While not every porn addict is destined to become a serial killer, the negative effects of porn addiction are undeniable. Dr Nah and his wife cover many issues surrounding porn addiction in their book – from the basics of the roots and consequences of porn to the scientific aspect of what happens to the brain of the porn addict and the holistic treatment strategy for the addict.
