addresses the question, "Are you a pornography addict?"
Daily our senses
are numbed with advertisements for Viagra and penis enlargers, as if those
products would enhance our lives and lead to romantic bliss. Soft core
pornography is already available on most cable television stations and the
internet provides any and every perversion that the viewing public might
desire.
Many individuals question the harm that can be done by a
consenting adult indulging in on-line pornography. After, some might say that
everyone looks at a little pornography from time to time and what can it hurt to
look at a few dirty pictures once in awhile?
On his web site, http://www.noeldouglas.com,
Dr. Doug also points out that the wife of the addict is also a major victim of
this pernicious addiction. She is often left feeling that she is an inadequate
sex partner based upon the pornographic images their husbands usually try to
imitate in real life. Many women feel humiliated and debased by the images which
appears to be a staple of the dehumanizing aspects women in
pornography.
Dr. Doug doesn’t stop at questioning the virtues of
pornography, but also offers a simple test you can use find out if you’re a
pornography addict. For those needing help, his discussion board offers limit
free assistance for those willing to discuss their troubles in public, and those
wishing to debate his overall position of pornography.
In "Pornography
Addiction in our Society," Dr. Doug discusses the chemical and behavioral
changes that occur as a result of pornography addiction. He discuss who the
victims of pornography are, how they are effected and the consequences of porno
addiction in general.
"Are you a Pornography Addict?" lists a series of
fifteen questions that can let you know if you or someone you love is a
pornography addict. All questions come with examples of specific behaviors to
help you understand the questions.
"The Stages of Pornographic Addiction"
shows how the repeated viewing of pornography slowly begins to brainwash the
viewer into accepting increasing levels of sexual deviancy and even anti-social
behavior, as a part of their "normal" and "acceptable" life-style. Each stage is
more debilitating than the next until the pornography addict has no medical nor
psychological cure.
"The Factors Maintaining Pornography Addiction,"
looks at the reasons why pornography is so addictive that it often compels men
to risk divorce, loss of jobs and even legal problems, in order to continue
their addictive behavior.
"Pornography, Pedophilia and the Sexual
Predator," explores the effects of pornography on pornography addicts, whose
minds now need more and more to satisfy its sexual cravings. Because at this
point the addict is addicted to a fantasy created within their own mind and
accepted as reality. Obviously, not everyone engaged in viewing pornography will
be a pedophile, rapist or molester of little children. However, it is somewhat
ironic that most sex offenders are also pornography addicts.
"Pornography
and the Rapist's Mind" does for the rapist what the previous article does for
the pedophile. Also, remember that the Sexual Predator, described earlier, can
just as easily be looking for adult female victims as children. There are at
least two types of sexual predators. Thus, this article is to help people
understand who has the greatest potential for being a rapist.
These are
only a few of the titles of articles written by Dr. Doug, who has now retired
after over his 36 years as a psychotherapist and ordained minister. Over the
years, he has successfully treated thousands of individuals, couples, families
and groups dealing with such issues as: depression, suicide prevention and
crisis intervention, bi-polar disorder, sexual dysfunction’s and deviancies,
marital and family issues and numerous others.
As a minister, most of the
counseling was done among "the worried well," those who are worried about family
problems that usually required as much teaching and training as psychotherapy.
Couple anticipating divorce, teens experimenting with drugs and alcohol,
domestic violence, sexual abuse and even incest-all within the church
membership. They are human, too.
As a psychiatric program director for a
locked skilled nursing facility, he provided treatment for patients that were a
danger to themselves and others. Some were suicidal, while others wanted to kill
others for looking at them wrong. They were the psychopaths and sociopath in our
society. They were also patients of Dr.Doug.
As Deputy Conservator of a
large central California county, he was responsible for doing the investigations
for conservatorships for those people so mentally ill that they were unable to
take care of themselves or were a danger to themselves and others. He also had
extensive experience during this time in suicide and crisis prevention as an
on-call psychiatric emergency therapist.
As the mental health supervisor
for a small county in the southern part of the U.S. he developed the domestic
violence program for that part of his state and often testified as an expert
witness on domestic and sexual violence cases. In addition to supervising his
staff he also carried on a small caseload of patients suffering from depression,
bipolar disorder or was involved in some form of sexual abuse, since he was the
only expert in these areas in that part of his state.
Dr. Doug is
available for private, paid e-mail consultations on any individual, marital or
family issue, including sexual ones. Because of the lack of personal, physical,
contact, one-to -one, with the people involved, psychotherapy is not an option
on the computer as yet. The therapist cannot see over the computer the typical
body language that is going on in a normal therapy session. This body language
often is more important than the spoken word and often contradicts
it.
However, if you have a problem of a mental or emotional nature, Dr.
Doug is available to give you advise and guidance on your problems based on the
information you have provided. This is going to require that the patient examine
themselves and their reactions to the circumstances in their life. If you are
having a problem in your marriage, or with your children or job or whatever,
remember, it is YOUR problem and is causing YOU pain and it is up to YOU to find
a way to resolve it. That's where Dr. Doug and his staff come in, by providing
alternative solutions to your problems.
If you are currently in an
unhappy relationship and you regularly do something positive to help change the
relationship, the relationship will change because you are a part of the
relationship. In the future we hope to provide short-term classes of 6-8 weeks
on a variety of subjects taught by Dr. Doug and his staff.
