Religion, not "smut" causes porn addiction

I think a lot of us knew this all along... but here is some definitive proof.

Researchers: Religious Fervor, Not Smut, Causes ?Porn Addiction?

CLEVELAND ? Religious fervor may play a bigger role than physical or psychological symptoms in convincing a person he or she is addicted to pornography, according to a new study by psychologists at Case Western Reserve University.

Published Wednesday in the scholarly journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, ?Transgression as Addiction: Religiosity and Moral Disapproval as Predictors of Perceived Addiction to Pornography? indicates people who consider themselves very religious are inclined to believe themselves ?addicted? if they view internet porn even once.

The information may help therapists understand that the perception of addiction is more about religious beliefs than actual viewing habits, researchers concluded.
