The Implications of SEC Online Porn Allegations

After the release of an L.A. Times article on the allegations against the SEC, I thought I’d take some time to share my thoughts on the implications and real cost of sex addiction.  After all, this is the face of sexual addiction in America today. This is how this disease affects all of us. When SEC government employees are spending hundreds of hours looking at thousands of porn images instead of doing their jobs, the negative impact is nearly unfathomable.

If they were found drinking on the job, they would be sent to treatment; but if they are addictively sexually acting out on the job, even to the extreme, they either get a warning or are fired. We have to start looking at and understanding this issue for what it really is.

If this is happening on the government level, you should believe that it’s happening in every corporate office building in America and beyond. How many hours of productivity are lost because of employee addictions? How many customers aren’t served properly because an employee is preoccupied with addictive thoughts and behaviors?

To me, this is a wake up call. The government inevitably sets the standard—and with that in mind, I suggest we all take a closer look at sex addiction, its implications, and ultimately, its negative impact on the innocent bystanders who are affected. This issue needs national attention because the health – financial included – of our nation depends on it.
