As I expected. The Sex Addiction Screening Test uses an item that a large majority (2/3rds) of people endorse as normal. I’ve given this test to hundreds, perhaps thousands of people now. I see similar rates there. So, this test is clearly pathologizing normal human behavior.

Here's William Jones who authored the 1864 Arizona abortion bill.

Some fun facts:
He abandoned his first wife and their children in Missouri.

His second wife was a 12 year old Mexican girl. He abducted her and after a complaint submitted his resignation to President Buchanan…

.Your Brain on Porn has posted a fake image of someone they lied was a 'porn addict'. Apparently it was someone's partner, and now they are ignoring *many* requests to remove the image.
This is not the first time Gary Wilson took non-consensual images, last time was of his students

My problem is, do we stop at photos? What if I write a really convincing erotic story of sex w/ AOC? What if I mimic her in a sexy voice message? What if I draw her having sex with King Kong? We are singling out AI photos, I think in a flawed way. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

One of my favorite things to do in presentations is tell people “Don’t think of a naked white elephant and if you do, you’re a dirty pervert!” A student from one of my presentations just sent me this pic she drew as a result.

I’m checking something out. This is a question from the Sex Addiction Screening Test. Please answer for me: 19. Has sex (or romantic fantasies) been a way for you to escape your problems?

Mary Sharpe has no license. She lectures for religious National Center on Sexual Exploitation and The Reward Foundation (TRF) that the 'preferred treatment method' for porn distress is abstinence.
*Zero* clinical trials support her claim.
This medical disinformation is being spread by RCGP.
Who is Mary Sharpe really?

Childhood is loving Adam West's Batman.
Adolescence is thinking he's silly and embarrassing.
Adulthood is realizing he's pulling off some of the best satire ever aired on network TV.

“Our sexual selves resist extinction.” Powerful and layered statement from colleague Michael Vigorito. You can attempt to excise your sexuality. It will fight back. The human sexual urge is far more powerful than moral panics credit it, when they posit the end of humanity.

Sadists engage in victim blaming (of innocent people).

They experience sadistic pleasure and reduced empathic concern by blaming victims psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-64…

It never stops being weird. Getting on a plane and a beautiful person I don’t recognize waves at me and says “I loved your talk and am a big fan of your books!” It’s wonderful but weird. Wondeird?
