UNDERSTANDING THE UNDERLYING FACTORS BENEATH PORNOGRAPHY AND SEXUAL ADDICTIONS

Sexual intimacy is a basic and necessary part of the human experience. It is essential for our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being and growth. However, between 8-12% of the population experience sex as an addiction, resulting in harm to one’s self, family and community. The advent of technology has also made sexual media easily accessible resulting in exposure and greater risks for compulsivity. Beyond A High Sex Drive is a workshop that you must attend to understand common misconceptions around pornography and sexual addictions, how it impacts Muslims, and the way we can move forward to heal as a community.
