Transgression as Addiction: Religiosity and Moral Disapproval as Predictors of Perceived Addiction to Pornography: "Religious beliefs impact sexual attitudes (Lefkowitz, Gillen, Shearer, & Boone, 2004), sexual fantasy (Ahrold, Farmer, Trapnell, & Meston, 2011), and sexual behavior (Farmer, Trapnell, & Meston, 2009). Most often, the effects of religiosity on sexuality are prohibitive or stigmatic in nature (Ahrold et al., 2011). The same is true of pornography use. Religious individuals tend to disapprove of pornography use and support pornography censorship (Lambe, 2004; Lottes, Weinberg, & Weller, 1993; Thomas, 2013). Religiosity also predicts unhappiness and depressive tendencies among pornography users (Patterson & Price, 2012). Not surprisingly then, pornography use is reportedly lower in religious populations than secular populations (Carroll et al., 2008; Poulsen, Busby, & Galovan, 2013; Wright, 2013; Wright, Bae, & Funk, 2013). Even so, analyses of pornography sales reveal that more religious areas tend to purchase more pornography than less religious areas (Edelman, 2009)." "A simple search for the term‘‘Pornography Addiction” on the Amazon bookseller’s website returned over 1,200 results on the topic. Over half of these results were found within the ‘‘Religion and Spirituality’’section of the online bookstore (Grubbs, Exline, & Volk, 2012). Such a simple finding raises a question about the relationship between religiosity and attitudes toward pornography: Could there be an association between religious belief and the notion of Internet pornography addiction? In support of this idea, several studies have found that religiosity and religious values were positively associated with perceived addiction to Internet pornography (Abell et al., 2006; Grubbs et al., 2010; Levert, 2007; Sessoms et al., 2011)."
![Only Bad for Believers? Religion, Pornography Use, and Sexual Satisfaction Among American Men.”:
“viewing pornography seemed to be associated with lower sexual satisfaction, but only for those who would be violating religious sanctions against it. This suggests moral incongruence plays a key role in explaining the connection between pornography consumption and sexual satisfaction among American men… this study’s findings suggest that it is not necessarily pornography use per se that negatively influences sexual satisfaction. If that were strictly the case, the negative association between pornography use and sexual satisfaction would have held regardless of participants’ religious characteristics. But the fact that the association was contingent on participants’ religious belonging and belief suggests that “moral incongruence” is an important factor to consider.”
“Previous research on pornography use and religion has suggested that religious persons who use pornography often report feeling considerable guilt and cognitive dissonance for violating their moral convictions about chastity and “lusting” (Baltazar et al., 2010; Grubbs et al., 2015; Perry & Hayward, 2017; Thomas et al. 2017). Religious pornography users are more likely to evaluate their lives more negatively than non-religious users (Grubbs et al., 2015). Thus it is likely that men who attend worship services more often [...] or have a higher opinion of the Bible [...] but also view pornography fairly regularly, are more likely to experience guilt and shame that potentially colors their evaluation of their own sex lives. This helps explain why the negative association between pornography consumption and overall happiness (Patterson & Price, 2012), marital quality (Doran & Price, 2014; Perry 2016), or parent-child relationship quality (Perry & Snawder, 2017) has tended to be stronger for those who are more closely attached to religious others.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b4xvvsmocjzn3z2xpcxc2sbt/bafkreiaairzk2ke6ac626drrorv5kfrraxfhqezade6itjx7grsyqgbmtq@jpeg)

Added more academic resources to the 'Censorship & Conservatism' page @ www.fujoshi.info/censorshipan...
These two articles examine how religious someone was vs. how seriously they perceived 'porn addiction' as a serious issue, & how religion can pathologize developmentally normal sexual behaviors 🧵

Screenshot of the front cover of the digital zine "DIY web archiving", which has large-sized text stating: "Things disappear from the internet. Care about stuff on the web? You need to act to archive it. Anyone can do it—this zine shows you how."
#ICYMI folks w/deep experience re:crisis web archiving (@sucho-org.bsky.social)+building tools for it (@webrecorder.net) made a free zine teaching how anyone can archive the things you love on the web before they go away: zinebakery.com/homemade-zin... & why you shouldn't expect others will do so

Cover of the manga adaptation of "The Demon of the Lonely Island". The cover features two handsome men looking away from one another, and the title runs down the middle in bright red, dividing them.
Back cover of the manga "The Demon of the Lonely Island". The majority of this side is bright red, and features three panels, the blurb in Japanese, and the black obi with additional text, panels, and red blood splotches.
The manga opened to the image for the first chapter featuring the handsome men on the cover, one looking away while hovering over the other man, whose bare back is shown to the viewer. In the distance, there is a dark island.
It's here! This is the manga adaptation of Edogawa Ranpo's "The Demon of the Lonely Island" by Osada Not (x.com/Atelier_Not). The art is lovely <3

Anyway if you like reading MM novels and are in the mood to read some good hockey romance, I recommend HIM and US by Elle Kennedy & Sarina Bowen and Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. Those are some of my favourites.
