Addicted to Lust

In Addicted to Lust, Samuel L. Perry explores the profound impact of pornography on the mental health, spiritual lives, and relationships of conservative Protestants, a group that once felt victorious over such influences. Through over 130 interviews and national surveys, Perry reveals how entrenched beliefs within this subculture amplify feelings of shame and discouragement among users, often leading to serious emotional struggles. The book highlights the unique challenges faced by conservative Protestant women and the escalating conflicts over pornography in marriages, providing critical insights into a pressing issue within this community.
