Excerpt/summary from article:
“It all began when my father brought home the first issue of Playboy magazine in 1953. I was six years old at the time. My parents just had a good laugh over it, but as far as I know, my father never bought any further porn magazines or ever watched adult films after that time. My next exposure to explicit content was in 1959 at the age of 12. My mother, while grocery shopping, would pick up the currently popular pocket magazine called Pageant at the checkout stand each month. It was actually the for-runner of Cosmopolitan magazine. One of the photos in the magazine, I recall, showed a stripper as she took off each article of clothing. The last photo, where she was fully nude is the one that totally hooked me. From that moment on, I couldn’t get enough of the men’s magazines, which became available at a neighborhood grocery store.

By the time I graduated from high school and went away to college, I was seriously addicted.

I strategically hid my collection of porn photos from my roommates and was alone with them quite frequently as a release mechanism from stress at school.

When I finally married at age 23, I swore that I would never look at porn images or movies again. Unfortunately, shortly after my wife and I were married, the addiction surfaced again.

When she finally discovered the photos and that I had secretly gone to movie theaters to view more porn, she became enraged and wouldn’t talk to me for weeks at a time. She never knew how to handle my addiction, although we did meet with counselors and community leaders quite frequently. Finally, after dealing with my occasional relapses for almost 40 years, she decided that divorce was the only solution for her.

I felt that I needed to move away from her and the area where we lived. I have never regretted doing so.

I have been attending recovery meetings almost every week since then and I also have an accountability partner I work with to keep me away from internet porn on my PC. However, after 58 years, I still struggle every day with my porn addiction and the terrible results of it.

I sincerely hope that my story will change the hearts and minds of those who may become or are now addicted to this horrible, love-destroying monster.”
