Fantastic video! Gene's (the Obsessive Compulsive Pornographer's) glasses are amazing...proof that masturbation does cause blindness!

What on earth is "hilarious" about this? Do other Sifters really find it ridiculous that someone might find obsessive masturbation to be in some way undesirable?

This is the least mock-worthy piece of Christiania that I've ever seen.

It's uncomfortable comedy, in my opinion...I think the whole production of the 'impartial' documentary is hilarious - nevermind the subject and interview! I do have a sick Brit sense of humour though (and a slight dislike of Christianity).

Is that the statue of David illustrating "Pornography?"
Damned Italian Renaissance.

....i feel so filty dirty now that I have watched this! you bad man theo47, I will have to go kill a thousand queers to become whole again...Praise The God Of Abrams, Idaho, and Jacobs!

I feel sorry for the guy, and I admire his courage in opening up about his sex addiction. I don't particularly think that masturbation is a problem, much the same way that drinking is not really a problem. For most people they aren't. But both can reach a point of addiction. Some people reach a place where their sexual behavior starts to mess up their lives, but they can't stop doing it. That's a bad place to be. No one wakes up one day and thinks, yeah, I'm going to act out sexually so much that I ruin my life-- but some guys end up doing just that.

You don't overcome addiction by sheer willpower, by denying it as a part of yourself.
You admit and accept you're an addict, and from there you can heal.
No amount of Jesus-y repression is going to keep anyone from touching themselves.

I'm certainly not trying to insult people with addictions, I just found the overly preachy and lurid descriptions (not to mention the actual porn footage cut in) funny.

If anyone quits over this, can I have your stash? Also, the creative editing at 3:39 was hilarious!

FYI - The stock room stuff happens in real life..

Wow, that was amazing. So much unintentional comedy, combined with the whole ridiculous concept ("healing" one's urges through religion) = comic hysteria.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that Gene didn't have a problem. In fact, it sounds like he was (and probably still is - as there was no evidence of his getting better given) a complete pervert. It's just the assertion that pornography was the cause of his problem, and that he could cure it through prayer and deprivation from porn (I guess? The cure wasn't really stated in the excerpt we saw) that's so misguided.

Porn is clearly not the problem here, and millions of people enjoy porn without problems. To paraphrase the argument for another debate: porn doesn't masturbate you. Your hand (or, in the case of at least one Congressional page, your bed) masturbates you. Not that masturbation is even wrong! Once you get into soliciting prostitution and being a peeping Tom, though, I think there's a problem - and, again, it's not with porn.

Anyhow, I've probably given this "debate" more thought than it deserves. Great, great video, theo. Thanks!

P.S. Wish this fit the top 100 guidelines, but I don't think it was created in, or is referential towards events from, 2006.

I'm thinking Chris Morris here, what do you think benjee?

Oh my god...you mean one of YOU might be a masterbator???

^ Not me! I quit over 30 minutes ago. Saaaayyyyy, that's a nice avatar. Oh no, Jesus help me!
