Sex addiction…missing the Elephant in the room

 

Sex addiction…missing the Elephant in the room…missing an opportunity:  The March 16, 2021, eight people were killed in shootings at three Atlanta- area spas. Robert Aaron Long, of Woodstock, Ga., was arrested in the attacks.  Six of the eight victims were women of Asian descent.  Hundreds of people gathered Saturday near the Georgia Capitol, with some demonstrators carrying signs declaring “Stop Asian Hate.”  Protests and vigils calling for an end to violence against Asian-Americans were held around the country over the weekend as lawmakers pushed for better tracking of hate crimes following the deadly shootings.  But, the killer did not appear to be racially motivated.  Law-enforcement officials in the suburban county where the first shooting occurred have said that Mr. Long told them he was lashing out at his sexual addiction in the attacks. Christopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, told NPR last week it did not appear that the attack was racially motivated.  The elephant in the room being ignored is sexual addiction, pornography, and the open sex industry and the opportunity being squandered is to call attention to this serious issue that destroys so many lives.  A WSJ article reports that “Wayne Huang, 42, who was born in New York City and lives in Chinatown, brought his two boys to the demonstration. “It’s hard to explain the hate to them, and the evil, but they have to have that awareness that it is time to support the community,” Mr. Huang said.”  Mr. Huang had a golden opportunity to begin teaching his sons about the dangers of sexual perversion, and educating them on a heathy attitude and healthy guiderails regarding sexuality.  Instead, he (along with all the other protesters) went with the false narrative that because many of the victims were Asian the killings were racially motivated.   That is a shame because sexual perversion destroys more lives than Asian Hate.
