520 |a This study sought to examine the relationship between the sexual compulsivity, emotional and spiritual distress of religious and non-religious adults who sought assessment for pornography addiction on the Internet. Religious (n = 350) and non-religious (n = 114) data were analyzed separately with a one-way between-subjects multivariate analysis of variance. The Kalichman Sexual Compulsivity Scale was used to divide the religious and non-religious into three groups: non-sexually compulsive (NCs); moderately sexually compulsive and sexually compulsive (SCs). All of the dependent variables, except age, were significantly higher for SCs than NCs for the religious. For the non-religious, all of the dependent variables, except age and time spent viewing Internet pornography (IP), were significantly higher for SCs than NCs. The non-religious spent significantly more time viewing IP than the religious. Yet, the religious were significantly more sexually compulsive. Emotional distress and spiritual distress were found to be significantly higher for SCs than the NCs regardless of religiosity. The non-religious were significantly more anxious and stressed than the religious. Specific religious affiliations did not have any significant bearing on the degree of sexual compulsivity. Religious practice, being associated with less viewing of IP, suggests the likelihood that moral reasons may provide some rationale for not viewing IP. At the same time, religious practice might reinforce shame in the addiction cycle thus religious individuals may be more at-risk to developing a compulsive pattern of viewing IP. The implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are presented.
