I have a friend who is addicted to pornography, especially the anime kind. I was wondering: what do I do to help him? Whenever I bring it up he gets angry and says I'm trying to "force my beliefs on him"?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I don't think porn or hentai is immoral, assuming it is legitimate and legal. It seems as if your friend agrees with me. Morality is a tricky thing, because it is so subjective. Let me ask, is your friend a christian?

No, he's not...Valhalla said:
It's just that every guy I've met that's addicted to porn of some kind has always treated the "everyday, normal" women badly, and although this particular friend's not quite there yet, that doesn't mean it won't affect him the same way.
I don't want that to happen, because if he starts thinking of me as something just for his pleasure, I'll have to terminate our friendship. And I may be selfish for thinking this, but I don't want to do that.

Hmm again... If your friend is not a Christian... thinking of you as something for his pleasure ... aren't you straying in dangerous waters already?Star_Pixels said:
Do you know what the ill effects you speak of are? Can you think of any way of 'proving' such that someone might listen to? I'm sorry to say that with addicts (of any kind, really), the hard work has to begin with them....Star_Pixels said:Show him the ill effects of pornography addiction?
If you want my opinion, you'd best be truthfull with your friend, let him know all your grievance, and see if you can come up with something you can both accept - but be prepared to follow what you think is right...

Though I do not think porn is immoral, I do think an addiction to anything can be dangerous. Let him watch porn, but if he starts being rude or abusive to women, I would step in. You really should explain how he mistreats women.
