Porn as an industry has seen rapid growth raking in billions owing to people having unrestricted access to content via internet. Addiction along with erectile dysfunction and ruined relationships are results of heavy consumption of porn, and some have also called it a health hazard of the digital age.

While experts show concern over increasing consumption of disturbing porn found easily online, exorcists have come up with their take on the matter. Priests say that they are finding it difficult to cope with the rise in number of people hit by demonic attacks, and are blaming drugs and porn for this phenomenon.

Describing porn and drugs as the ‘devils game’, a priest told Sunday Express that more people are playing this game. Claiming to see levitation and eyes roll, the priest said porn is an entry point for demonic activity.

 While full blown possessions are rarely seen, the priest said that demonic activities also come in the form of obsession and vexation. At a time when sexual health experts are worried about porn addiction and effects on mental health, this spiritual take on the issue isn’t surprising.
